Fox News National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin appeared on Hannity where she addressed recent Russian propaganda claiming the U.S. has secret bioweapon labs in Ukraine.
Griffin said, “Those are Soviet-era biolabs that the U.S. has been engaged [with] since 2005 in trying to help Ukraine convert the research facilities safely.”
“In Uzbekistan, for instance,” Griffin said, “the US eliminated nearly 12 tons of weaponized anthrax from an island in the Aral Sea in 2001.”
Griffin reiterated the concern that U.S. officials have that Russia is only making these claims as a pretext to their own use of these types of weapons.
“White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Moscow’s talk today about these biolabs has led to concern by U.S. intelligence,” Griffin said, “that Russia could use chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine to create a false flag operation using them.”
Griffin’s reporting on the Russian claim stood in sharp contrast to what Tucker Carlson said. Carlson, who has been accused of pushing Russian propaganda on multiple occasions, took the admission by Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland that there are biological research labs in Ukraine as an admission of guilt. Carlson not only played a clip of a Russian official making the claim, but went on to propagate it himself.
“Ukraine is the poorest country in Europe,” Carlson said. “It’s hardly a hotbed of biomedical research. We’re assuming these weren’t pharmaceutical labs. Probably not developing new leukemia drugs. From your answer, Victoria Nuland, we would assume, because you all but said it, there’s a military application of this research. They’re working on bioweapons.”
Griffin pointed out that U.S. involvement with these labs is neither new nor secret.
“ But what Russia does is they take that information, distort it, turn it around and turn it into disinformation.”

True. The labs might be making bioweapons or (best case scenario) just a money pit for our tax dollars.
I don’t like either option
She’s almost unhinged that no one buys their bs.
Agreed, either scenario sucks for the US taxpayer. The elites don’t care - we are just an ATM for their pet projects.
Griffin is quite the tool, isn’t she?
Better
Isn’t amazing how most of the media STILL ignore Biden bragging out that event? It is recorded on video in full context. He coerced a foreign government into ceasing an investigation of his bagman son, brags about the coercion, and no one in the MSM bats an eye.
Yes, indeed— embassy links (perhaps they have now oops wiped), and the site— way back : WuXiAppTec.com— a company filled with Peoples Liberation Army types with ridiculous bios and.... AND US Pfizer former execs and others.
Wuhan, two doors down from the PLA Level IV supposed site that churned out the Covid-19 chimera and then tested on the Uighers labor camp in Mongolia border (it worked and it also “leaked”). All this above known in FALL of 2019, and Dems working with these chi-coms still.
Victoria Nuland is an agent in place and not clever at all.
And obamaumao’s people are still in this operation- and the media STILL cannot and will not do it’s job. The few who are- are being hunted down to suppress.
Note. She doesn’t say they don’t exist. She said they started as Russian labs that the US now has a hand in
Tucker has not gone off any end deep or otherwise
I think TC has a good staff to investigate these things for accuracy and I’m sure he challenges them. I’ll stay with Tuck.

“Its also likely Fed.gov is giving money to many of them - again, possibly for defensible reasons, but as we saw with Wuhan, possibly also with disastrous consequences.”
Why would we not spend the billions on research inside our country, employing American citizens?
She expects me to believe that is is taking over 16 years to to make those labs safe and they are still not done?
Jennifer Griffin is just a more manly Chris Wallace.
Carlson may be off every once and awhile, but mostly he is on, and he is doing a tremendous service to the conservative cause and to the nation as a whole. I try to never miss his show.
