Top Senator Demands Answers From Energy Dept on Lab Leak Reversal: 'I Was Never Provided This Report'
Fox News ^

Posted on 02/28/2023 1:31:02 PM PST by nickcarraway

Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., on Tuesday sent a letter to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm demanding answers and a classified briefing regarding the Energy Department's assessment that the COVID-19 pandemic likely originated from an accidental lab leak in China.

"I write to request that the Department of Energy provides expedited answers to questions regarding the department's release of an intelligence report concluding a lab leak was the most likely origin of the COVID-19 pandemic," Barrasso wrote in a letter obtained exclusively by Fox News Digital.

The Energy Department, which had been undecided on the origin of the pandemic, has now joined the FBI in concluding the coronavirus likely spread due to a mishap at a Chinese laboratory, according to the Wall Street Journal, which cited a classified intelligence report provided to the White House and "key members of Congress."

Granholm, another in the long list of inept cabinet secretaries. I side with those who believe this is a CIA shot across the bow of China. China hates to be ridiculed on the world stage. We’ve always known it was the Wuhan Lab, we’re (Biden) is just playing politics with information, or his CIA is.

Yeah, just a "mishap." That's all. Nothing else to see there. Trust us on this.

What the heck does the DOE have to do with Covid in the first place?

It’s not like it was a leak from a nuclear reactor.

I’m not sure how long Barrasso has been in congress, but this is actually the first time I recall him actually doing something. He does stand behind McConnell once in a blue moon but that’s it.

Apparently being a “top Senator” takes up a lot of his time.

I think it's because they have high-tech labs and testing equipment for things at the nuclear level.

Dems are all addicted to lying. So it doesn’t matter which one is asked by the elites to lie.

An uncoordinated attempt at a coordinated shift in messaging — the side effects of lying.

It's shameful and more that all these politicians moan and groan NOW months and months later when they all should have been on top of things regarding Covid. So they're all playing the blame game in one form or another. How much more evidence do we need our congressional members are NOT doing their jobs? At what point do they pick up a phone and find out what they need to know?......and what's all their own staffers doing we pay thousands yearly for?.....It's disgraceful we pay money for incompetent people 24/7.

It wasn’t a coincidence, it was a plan.

It just probably wasn’t the plan yet<\b>! I think it was supposed to be released on Taiwan before an invasion.

China made sure everyone got infected at the World Military Games in Wuhan, during October, 2019, assuring a global outbreak.

George Webb was all over this enemy action, long before almost anyone else theorized about the same suspicion.

The timing of this reveal is so obviously an orchestrated move by the deep state.

I cannot put into a quantity how much I despise the traitor scum imbedded in our government. Using the compounded heat/energy of a thousand suns would be an insufficient sum.

Yes but no one has ever heard of him. I guess that is a prerequisite of being a ‘top’ senator.

Isn’t this outside the mandate of the Department of Energy?

Why are they the one’s to bring this up?

Yes

And not a leak

It was a LAUNCH of a bioweapon. Done on purpose.
