US Intel has data on all of the viruses the WIV was studying
After 5-10 years, it really should read 'HAD' the intel.

[John Brennan via CNN, CNN via Hot Air] CNN has published this as an exclusive so there’s no way to really verify any of it at this point. Still, what they claim is remarkable enough that it’s worth mentioning. Apparently our intelligence agencies have data on all of the viruses that were studied at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. CNN reports it’s unclear how that’s possible:

It’s unclear exactly how or when US intelligence agencies gained access to the information, but the machines involved in creating and processing this kind of genetic data from viruses are typically connected to external cloud-based servers — leaving open the possibility they were hacked, sources said.

You may remember that at one point the WIV had an online repository which included data all of the samples they had taken from the wild along with work they were doing on those viruses. But that website and all of the data it contained went offline in early September 2019, just a couple months before the first known cases of the coronavirus. After that point outside access of the data was not possible.

Curiously, when Dr. Shi Zhengli was asked why the database was pulled down she claimed on two different occasions that it had been prompted by attempts to hack the database. That answer didn’t make any sense because in September of 2019, no one had heard of the coronavirus and it’s unlikely that database was getting much attention. Dr. Peter Daszak, who helped fund the WIV research also gave the same answer about hacking when he was asked why the database was pulled down.

In any case, the CNN story suggests that the database was hacked by our intelligence agencies at some point and as a result we have all the data. The database was divided into two areas. There was a public area which included completed research and there was a private area which required a password. That portion of the site included data and sequences of viruses which hadn’t been publicly revealed yet could be very revealing.

Diversionary 'damage control' steps one must take wen your cover story turns to kak and your paymaster's (Fauci) credibility is totally gone ?

#1 CNN reports it’s unclear how that’s possible

Well, if you pay for something - you demand progress reports, nyet?

#2  CNN...."It’s unclear exactly how or when US intelligence agencies gained access to the information.....leaving open the possibility they were hacked, sources said."

"Unclear" to some possibly.

If you were funding something this sensitive and long-term, wouldn't you want to know what is going on? Gaining and maintaining knowledge of the effort is accomplished through recruited and paid sources within the targeted activity. Some of these sources are no longer among the living. Others have somehow made their way to the Big PX (The USA).

"External cloud servers and Hacking" as reported by unnamed "sources" ?

Point of the CNN (yes CNN) article located. Yes, misinformation. An operational diversion. Thank you CNN senior advisor John Brennan. "Cloud hacking"...total bullshi*.

g(r)om nailed it before I could hit send.

(Russian hackers not mentioned. They really are slipping)
