Members of a House Judiciary Committee subcommittee say they now have gotten confirmation that the then-CIA chief, Gina Haspel, likely knew about a leftist plot to have intel officers issue a statement that that laptop computer abandoned by Hunter Biden was “Russian” disinformation before it happened.
And two of the signers apparently were under contract to work for the CIA at the time they made the statement that ultimately proved to be a lie.
The committee reported Tuesday that its information shows those CIA elements “colluded with the Biden campaign.”
“We knew that the rushed statement from the 51 former intelligence officials was a political maneuver between the Biden campaign and the intelligence community. Now with this interim report, we reveal how officials at the highest levels of the CIA were aware of the statement and CIA employees knew that several of the so-called former officials were on active contract with the CIA. The report underscores the risks posed by a weaponized federal government,” explained committee chief Jim Jordan.
And Mike Turner, chairman of the House Intel Committee, added, “The House Intelligence Committee’s work provided us with solid direct evidence that in the final weeks before the 2020 presidential election, 51 former intelligence officials coordinated with the Biden campaign to falsely cast doubt on an explosive New York Post story and label Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop as ‘Russian disinformation.’ The committee worked to obtain classified documents from the CIA, including emails, and fought to include evidence of these materials in our report.”
The details come from the House Judiciary Committee’s Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.
In fact, evidence available to date suggests that multiple layers of the federal government have been pushed into attacking President Donald Trump.
For example, multiple criminal and civil cases against him were launched as soon as he announced his run for the presidency in 2024.
Congress’ new report is called, “The Intelligence Community 51: How CIA Contractors colluded with The Biden Campaign to Mislead American Voters.”
The congressional report explains “how the highest levels of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), up to and including then-CIA Director Gina Haspel, were made aware of the ‘Public Statement on the Hunter Biden Emails’ by 51 former intelligence officials prior to its approval and publication. The report reveals important new facts, such as how some of the statement’s signatories, including former Deputy CIA Director Michael Morell, were on active contract with the CIA at the time they issued the Hunter Biden statement to discredit damaging allegations about Biden family influence peddling just weeks before the 2020 presidential election.”
That statement claimed the details about Biden family scandals revealed in the laptop was disinformation. In fact, it was all genuine and now has been documented as such as the federal government used it in evidence against Hunter Biden in a trial in which he was convicted of gun law felonies.
A survey after the election suggested had that information about the Bidens’ scandals been widely available to voters, Biden would have lost that election.
The report from Congress explained on October 14, 2020, the New York Post published a report “detailing how Hunter Biden used the position and influence of his father, now-President Joe Biden, for personal gain with the apparent awareness of President Biden. Five days later, on October 19, 2020, 51 former intelligence officials signed on to a public statement that stated that the Hunter Biden laptop story had ‘all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,’ in an attempt to discredit the New York Post’s reporting.”
Social media corporations fell into alignment behind the Democrats’ statement, actively suppressing the truthful reporting.
The committee’s earlier report found the letter originated with now-Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who suggested the idea to Morell.
The new reporting confirms that the highest officials in the CIA knew of the “disinformation” statement as it was being developed. A CIA officer confirmed he told Haspel or Deputy Director Vaughn Frederick Bishop of the impending release.
That, the committee confirms, “suggests that senior CIA leadership had ample opportunity to assess to validity of the statement’s claims.”
And signers Michael Morell and David Buckley reportedly were actively working for the CIA at the time the statement was released.
That means, the report said, they may have “abused their positions” regarding the statement.
And, the committee report said, “The signatories’ decision to leverage their former intelligence community titles to promote a narrative about foreign election interference improperly embroiled the agency in domestic politics.”
The arrogance of these paid government employees is beyond belief and should incur criminal charges for the lot of them. And CIA director Gina Haspel needs to be hauled before Congress to explain why she expedited the release of this pack of lies to screw Trump’s reelection.
At this point, the left doesn’t care who knows about any of the crap that they’ve pulled off and are continuing to pull off today. Their methods are now tried and true. For next four months it will be in your face and there is nothing the right can do about it.
When they are openly campaigning for illegal aliens to be able to vote (because “that’s who we are”), there’s no coming back . . .
And MSLSD will report “House Report On Laptop Debunked By 51 Security Experts”.
This was a CIA that ostensibly was under the control of the Trump Administration for four years. This demonstrates that Trump never managed to control most key sectors of the Federal bureaucracy. That the deep state leftists were deeply implanted by the Clinton and Obama Administrations.Or that Trump appointed and was served by fools.
They are not arrogant- they know they will get away with it because the GOP bends over and takes it....its like a child eating candy an hour before dinner- if the parents don’t do anything to stop it they will just want more and more candy.
Shocked /s
No questions as to how Trump ended up naming yet another undermining CIA chief during his administration?
Explain why?
It’s pretty obvious why.
They are all corrupt up to their eyeballs in foreign money. Both sides of the aisle. Republicans, Democrats, So-called Independents, they are all on the take. Ukraine was their money pot. Now Zelenskyy has them all under his thumb: give more, and more and more and more. Or else he throws them all under the bus and releases all the videos of them or their adult children taking bribes................
As someone once said it is the permanent govt apparatuses that runs things, congressmen come and go, presidents come and go, but the deep state remains.
With this fighting tooth and nail against Trump, with the media colluding with them it is actually quite amazing he accomplished anything
Hopefully this time he has his eyes wide open and picks better people. But even good people have secrets and to the deep state there are no secrets. Just a tap on the shoulder, whisper in the ear and even a good man is compromised
The same Gina Haspel who was CIA Station Chief in London when the British Intel and Steele were peddling the “Trump as a Russian spy dossier”?
The CIA interfering in domestic elections means we do not have a republic. It’s a police state, period.
The CIA does not protect America from anything and must be disbanded. Same for the FBI.
A good start would be to strip Haspel and all 51 signers of their security clearance. That is a massive direct hit on their pocketbook and they lose lucrative work. Same for all the FBI conspirators.
And bar any contact of any kind, directly or indirectly, by any current government intel officials for at least ten years......................
Could anyone in the current government pass one?
For some reason they only last 2 years or thereabouts.
Republican Porter Goss-Sept. 2004-May 2006. 20 months.
David Petraeus-2011-14 months.
Pompeo-15 months
Robert Gates-Nov. 1991-Jan 1993-15 months
Those are the ones whose appointment we could approve.
Tenant was appointed by Clinton in ‘97 and lasted 3 and a half years after 911. That’s 7 years.
President-ELECT Trump should call for those involve to resign before he takes office.
Not new for the CIA.
Remember when James O’Keefe discovered that Pompeo and Haspel intentionally withheld info from Trump many times?
Yes, they are part of the Great Deception. By mot giving Trump the full details of anything they deemed ‘important’, they were essentially committing treason......................
[51 former intelligence officials]
Now......what was the number that “confirmed” that “the Steele Dossier” was valid....
I do believe it was .............. “51” (?)
The ancient media will be all over this today. /s
Excellent question...
