Washington CNN — The Republican chairs of the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday asking for information related to the crafting of a public letter signed weeks before the 2020 presidential election by dozens of former intelligence officials, who said they saw signs the Hunter Biden laptop story could be Russian disinformation.
In October 2020, 51 former intelligence officials signed on to a public letter that stated that the appearance of the Hunter Biden laptop story on the political scene had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” Though the former officials acknowledged in their public letter that they did “not have evidence of Russian involvement,” Republicans have argued that the letter helped discredit the laptop story just before the election. s
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner wrote to Blinken, who was out of government and an adviser to Biden’s presidential campaign at the time the intelligence letter was written, that their panels had “recently conducted a transcribed interview with Michael Morell,” a former deputy director for the CIA and one of the former intelligence officials who signed the public letter.
The committee chairs write: “Morell testified that on or around October 17, 2020, you [Blinken] reached out to him to discuss the Hunter Biden laptop story. At the time you served as a senior advisor to the Biden campaign. According to Morell, although your outreach was couched as simply gathering Morell’s reaction to the [New York] Post story, it set in motion the events that led to the issuance of the public statement.”

Wouldn’t it be great if we could complete this FReepathon in under 60 days? Please get your donations in early and let’s get ‘er done!
Thank you very much! Your support is greatly appreciated!
God bless you.
CNN is even covering the story now? Apparently the plan is to throw Biden under the bus . Who is the Communist they are going to replace him with?
Absolutely nothing will happen... just investigation after investigation and everyone walks free.
Cackles, Thank heavens it isn’t Cankles.
The entire FJB Regime are nothing but CRIMINALS
ALL OF THEM!!
obvious abuse of power originally and now obstruction of justice
Well how getting the FIB to raid the only declared opposing candidate in the upcoming election? My point is nothing will happen to Biden and he knows it.
Only to spend 90% explaining how it is really a nothing burger.
indeed.
first, note it’s not the FakeNewsMSM investigating and demanding answers from Blinken.
“Republicans have argued that the letter helped discredit the laptop story just before the election”??
note this is crafted so as to suggest the laptop was “discredited”.
of course, it took several CNN media whores to write this piece of garabage.
Remember when Trump took the security clearance from many of these traitors and the media went nuts!?
Betcha Joe Biden gave some back to get this letter signed. This is quid pro and quo!!
We need to know who got those security clearances back.
