WASHINGTON — Some of the 51 “Spies Who Lie” were active CIA contractors when they claimed files from first son Hunter Biden’s laptop had “the classic earmarks” of Russian disinformation ahead of the 2020 election — a fact that was uneasily noted inside the agency at the time, new records acquired by The Post show.
Former CIA acting director Michael Morell, who previously told Congress he organized the Oct. 19, 2020, letter to give Joe Biden a “talking point” against then-President Donald Trump ahead of a debate, was a contractor at the time, the agency informed Congress.
Ex-agency inspector general David Buckley also was a contractor at the time of the letter, according to an interim report from two House committees investigating the matter, and records suggest that at least two other letter-signers may also have had active contracts at the time.
The terms of the contracts and compensation were not immediately clear.
Morell flatly denied he was a contractor when contacted by The Post, writing Tuesday in an email, “If you write that, you would [be] wrong.”
Morell doubled down in a second email, writing that “I can’t” speculate on why he was listed as a contractor and insisting: “It’s wrong.”
A congressional source provided The Post with the CIA’s document outing Morell as a contractor after his denial.
Robert Dugas, CIA deputy general counsel for litigation and investigations, shared the information in an April 25 letter.
“I write to provide an UNCLASSIFIED document related to your … letters seeking information,” Dugas told legislators, along with a five-name chart that listed Morell and Buckley as contractors as the date of the letter.
“The evidence in our report speaks for itself and it seems that the spy who lied is continuing to do so,” Russell Dye, spokesman for the House...

It was all orchestrated in order to put Biden in office because he represents the deep state perfectly..this is what they do in communist countries to maintain power why would they stop now
All 51 need to be out of work vis-a-vis the US government. Where are Republicans on this?
Where are Republicans on this?
IN ON IT.
THEY SHOULD ALL BE PUT AGAINST A WALL BLINDFOLDED!!!
The NYPost should receive journalism awards for the work they have done on this corruption. They won’t of course, but they should.
The more they uncover about the 51 “officials” the worse it looks for the corrupt agencies that were involved in the lies. I call it treason.
And the Jake Tappers, Jon Karls, Brian Stelters, etc of the media should have to broadcast two hour long apologies itemizing every thing they have gotten wrong and lied about over the past eight years.
p
Dana Bash can’t avoid this topic and Jake Tapper shouldn’t be allowed to tip-toe around the subject either. It’s a huge conflict of interest. Dana Bash should recuse herself.
Shouldn't that read "‘Spies Who Lie’ leader, cosigners were (CIA) traitors...
Here we go again. I wonder of there is a new hoax manufactured for the debate on Thursday. Dem operatives would pass the word in advance to Tapper, Bash, and the whole sh**aree. So instead of 3 to 1 against Trump, it could be hundreds to 1. Again.
Throw him to the wolves, he comes back leading the pack.
Hope so. There was BS during the 2020 debates that was blamed on Trump.
DEMOCRATS ARE LAW-LESS BECAUSE REPUBLICANS ARE BALL-LESS!!
Michael Morell and the other 50 are PURE EVIL DEMOCRATS!!!
Yes, Republicans talk, raise money off that talk, but actually do nothing.
I’m sure the thugs, sexual weirdos, and traitors in the CIA are giving all the tricks of their trade to the DNC War Room folks who feed ‘possible questions’ to the not so intelligent ‘talent’ at CNN.
The ‘on air talent’ feels their job is to ‘pick the best questions’ not come up with them on their own. That leaves a big opening for the greedy ones.
And the best questions? Those are psyops style... done by professionals who learned their craft on the taxpayers dime... all our dimes.
I would be more surprised if ‘intelligence’ wasn’t involved.
Time will tell...
Thanks. I’m wondering if CNN will pull a “June surprise.” Yes, Chris Wallace conned the TV audience in October 2020, not in June, but if the left, with the help of some “trusted” govt agency, uncorks a new major hoax successfully now, that could move the ball 70 yards back from Biden’s goal line.
