Trump spy chief has ‘high degree of confidence' COVID-19 came from Wuhan lab
[Washington Examiner] The top spy chief for former President Donald Trump revealed he has a "high degree of confidence" that COVID-19 emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China as the Chinese government continues to stonewall investigations into the pandemic’s origins.

John Ratcliffe said his access to high-level intelligence led him to believe that COVID-19 got its start in the Chinese lab.

NIH FINALLY ENDS SUBAWARD TO WUHAN LAB

"Let me just say this: As the person that had the most access to the most intelligence — you know, in the intelligence community we talk about degrees of confidence, low degree of confidence, moderate degrees of confidence, high degrees of confidence," Ratcliffe told CBS News over the weekend. "I had a high degree of confidence that the origins of COVID-19 were in the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Now, I was the top intelligence official, and that was my opinion."

#1 Chinese government continues to stonewall investigations into the pandemic’s origins.

Should read: "Chinese and USG continue...."

#3 Mid March of 2020 was at a breakfast meeting with an ex SOCOM leadership DC insider wheeler dealer. He flatly declared, "It's a lab bug and we are all going to get locked down." He was so clear and definitive that we took this at face value.

Plenty of people inside the system know the real deal. No degrees of confidence necessary on lab origin. *Which* lab is a better inquiry.

#7 ^ Pretty much anyone ever busted for selling snake oil deserves a pardon and reimbursement for their legal fees, time spent in jail and loss of business capital.

#9 Everyone knows what happened but no one is willing to admit it

An official admission that it was a chimera almost requires a war
