På vegne av Joe Bidens valgkamp­­apparat bad Anthony Blinken i oktober 2020 tidligere CIA-topp Michael Morell om hjelp til å diskreditere saken om Hunter Bidens famøse laptop som russisk desinformasjon.

Det går frem av Morells eget vitnesbyrd under en høring i justiskomiteen i Representantenes hus, skriver New York Post – avisen som selv avslørte saken med laptopen, som inneholdt kompromitterende informasjon både om far og sønn Biden.

In private sworn testimony, Morell told the House Judiciary Committee that Antony Blinken, now Secretary of State, was the senior campaign official who reached out to him “on or before” Oct. 17, 2020, three days after The Post published an email from the laptop suggesting Hunter had introduced his Ukrainian business partner to his father, then vice-president Biden.

Morell, som tidligere hadde vært fungerende CIA-sjef og var påtenkt som mulig ny CIA-sjef under Biden, gjorde etter eget utsagn dette for å hjelpe Biden med å vinne det nært forestående presidentvalget.

Blinken, som i dag er utenriksminister i Biden-administrasjonen, trigget Morell til å gjøre det:

Until Blinken’s call, Morell told House investigators that he had no intention of writing any statement exonerating Biden.

But he agreed that the conversation with Blinken “triggered … that intent” in him.

Den tidligere CIA-toppen tok deretter kontakt med en rekke gamle kolleger:

Morell said he did “a little bit of my own research,” and then reached out to retired CIA senior operations officer Marc Polymeropoulos for assistance in compiling the letter discrediting The Post’s reporting.

Over the next two days, Morell gathered signatures from 51 former intelligence officials, including himself and four other former CIA directors, including John Brennan and Leon Panetta.

Morell planla også å plante den fabrikkerte historien i Washington Post:

Morell testified that he sent an email telling Nick Shapiro, former Deputy Chief of Staff to Brennan, that the Biden campaign wanted the statement to go to a particular reporter at the Washington Post and that he should send the statement to the campaign as well.

Under en valgkampdebatt mot Donald Trump kort tid for det amerikanske presidentvalget i 2020 brukte Joe Biden den fabrikkerte informasjonen til å avvise anklager fra sin motkandidat.

The letter was used by candidate Joe Biden during the Oct. 22 debate against Donald Trump, successfully to deflect accusations about his involvement in his family’s international influence peddling operation, which had garnered millions of dollars from China and Ukraine while he was vice president.

Brevet fra de 51 etterretningstoppene ble også brukt til å diskreditere New York Post.

Jim Jordan, som leder justiskomiteen i Representantenes hus, og Michael Turner, som leder etterretningskomiteen, retter dermed sin oppmerksomhet mot Blinken:

Jordan and Turner told Blinken they were requesting his assistance because they “have learned that you played a role in the inception of this statement while serving as a Biden campaign advisor…

Deres anklager mot den nåværende utenriksministeren er harde:

“It is apparent that the Biden campaign played an active role in the origins of the public statement, which had the effect of helping to suppress the Hunter Biden story and preventing American citizens from making a fully informed decision during the 2020 presidential election …

“This concerted effort to minimize and suppress public dissemination of the serious allegations about the Biden family was a grave disservice to all American citizens’ informed participation in our democracy.
