An alleged campaign finance violation could ensnare Secretary of State Antony Blinken and 51 former senior intelligence officials who asserted without evidence in 2020 that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.
America First Legal, a conservative organization run by former Donald Trump White House aide Stephen Miller, filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission in late October, alleging a "coordinated communication" and an unreported in-kind contribution to the Joe Biden presidential campaign and related entities, in violation of federal law.
"[The] evidence suggests that the respondents failed to disclose coordinated expenditures constituting in-kind donations with respect to the infamous ‘Letter of 51’ former intelligence officials claiming that the Hunter Biden laptop story had ‘all the classic earmarks’ of Russian disinformation," says the 13-page AFL complaint, with 110 accompanying pages of evidence.
The FEC complaint claims that the Biden for President campaign in 2020, the Biden Victory Fund, the Democratic National Committee, and the Biden Action Fund should have reported on coordinating efforts.
The "Letter of 51" was released on Oct. 19, 2020, weeks before the Nov. 8 presidential election between Biden and Trump.
The Obama administration officials who signed included former Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and former CIA director and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. Former George W. Bush DNI Michael Hayden, a vocal Trump critic, also signed.
The complaint notes that Panetta and Clapper donated to the Biden Victory Fund and the Biden for President campaign in 2020.
In March, former CIA Deputy and Acting Director Michael Morrell testified to the House Judiciary Committee and House Intelligence Committees that on Oct. 17, 2020, then-Biden campaign adviser Blinken contacted him to discuss the Hunter Biden laptop story first reported by the New York Post.
The complaint cited an April statement...

I forgot about this which is exactly what the enemedia wants. 51 “intelligence” scumbags standing by Bidens crap. Hope they are happy with themselves because a hell of a lot of people died by installing this pedo into the WH.

Precisely what are “all the classic earmarks of Russian disinformation?” Name them. Number them. I’ll start:
1.) Language
Did a single investgative reporter even ask a single question of a single member of the 51, “What, precisely, are ‘all the classic earmarks’ of Russian disinformation? I doubt it, willing accomplices that they are. The fact is, that signed statement of the 51 wasn’t just ‘classic earmarks of,’ but *actual* disinformation.
Anerica First Legal is doing great work going after the other side. Stephen Miller is a bulldog. Financial help would go a long way to helping them.
“coordinated communication”
That’s quite the sugar-coated interpretation.
If a Republican were involved, they’d just use that boring old word...conspiracy!
MSNBC states Biden is single-handedly running the Ukrainian war. Yep, Sleepy Creepy Joe decides every aspect of it. 😂
It was a conspiracy to commit election fraud and insurrection.
That’s what it was. They used government resources to do it, which means the Government is in charge of the elections by distorting information to the voters. This is just one instance of it. This is how you can tell your no longer living in a Republic, because the government controls the story and the news, and therefore who gets into office.
Hope that the SCOTUS takes the case. Those actions violated just about everything that is the Constitution and have permanently disenfranchised the public.
Oh please oh please oh please...
I doubt much will come of this but at least they will have to spend money on lawyers.

Well, if they told you…….
