In a major development in the House ongoing probe of the deep state’s October 2020 effort to suppress revelations from Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell,”\u00a0a former senior CIA official has testified that he organized an influential letter from former intel officials to help Joe Biden “win the election” — and was inspired to do so by a call from current Secretary of State Antony Blinken,\u00a0<\/strong>who was then a top Biden campaign official.<\/p>\n

Mike Morell, who was at the time a former deputy director of the CIA, says\u00a0he also coordinated with the Biden campaign on strategy for the letter’s release.\u00a0<\/strong>Word of his revelations comes via a\u00a0press release<\/a>\u00a0jointly\u00a0issued by the chairmen of the House judiciary and intelligence committees late Thursday, first reported by the\u00a0New York Post<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Before diving into the new information, let’s briefly recap what was already known.<\/em>..<\/p>\n

On Oct. 14, 2020, the\u00a0New York Post<\/em>\u00a0reported that Hunter Biden exploited his father’s position for personal gain<\/strong>\u00a0— with the apparent knowledge of his father. The story — which drew on emails on a laptop Hunter Biden abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop — undermined Joe Biden’s denials that he’d communicated with Hunter about his international business schemes.<\/p>\n

Five days later, 51 former US intelligence officials issued a\u00a0public statement<\/a>\u00a0assaulting the\u00a0Post<\/em>\u00a0story,\u00a0infamously declaring that it had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>and solemnly declaring their conviction that “American citizens should determine the outcome of elections, not foreign governments.”<\/p>\n

Media outlets credulously reported on the letter<\/strong>, which was also used by social media platforms to justify blocking the story. The\u00a0Post’<\/em>s Twitter account was even suspended for\u00a0two weeks<\/a>.\u00a0Biden cited the letter in a presidential debate<\/strong>, as he deflected Donald Trump’s exploitation of the damning\u00a0Post<\/em>\u00a0story:<\/p>\n
