Government Corruption

Mike Morell can't clean up this ‘dirty' letter that was meant to secure Biden's 2020 win

2023-05-15

[NYP] Now we know that the CIA conspired with former acting director Mike Morell and the Biden campaign to produce a letter falsely claiming that emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop were Russian disinformation — and solicited signatures from at least one former intelligence official.

But there is much more to come from the House Intelligence and Judiciary committees on the origins of that "Dirty 51" letter cooked up by five former CIA directors and 46 fellow spooks to discredit The Post’s reporting on the laptop.

John Brennan, the Obama-era CIA chief, admitted to House investigators in a four-hour closed-door deposition last week that the letter was "political."

James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence, is slated to appear next week.

Brennan and Clapper also were involved in the Hillary Clinton campaign’s Russia hoax against Donald Trump and have lied to Congress previously without sanction, but it is unlikely the new breed of Republicans conducting these investigations will be as lenient as their predecessors.

Why does the letter matter? Because it was crucial to saving Biden’s skin to deny that he had met with his son Hunter’s Ukrainian paymaster Vadym Pozharskyi while he was VP, as The Post reported on Oct. 14, 2020, citing evidence from the laptop.

The Biden campaign knew that the laptop was a serious political liability.

#2 Morell is a rat of some standing
May 18, 2015, Mother Jones: "The Bush White House made a “false presentation” on “some aspects” of the case for war. “That’s a big deal,” [Chris] Matthews exclaimed. Morell replied, “It’s a big deal.”
And there’s more. Referring to the claims made by Bush, Cheney, and other administration officials that Saddam was in league with Al Qaeda, Morell noted, “What they were saying about the link between Iraq and Al Qaeda publicly was not what the intelligence community” had concluded. He added, “I think they were trying to make a stronger case for the war.” That is, stronger than the truth would allow.
Morell’s remarks support the basic charge: Bush and Cheney were not misled by flawed intelligence; they used the flawed intelligence to mislead."

#1 Miranda Divine squarely nails it. These people not only have their fingers on the scales, they have their hands on the rudder of the nation.

They are NOT our friends, and likely never have been.
