Bombshell: Ex-CIA Chief Confessed He Got 50 Colleagues To Co-sign False Hunter Biden Laptop Letter In Bed To ‘Help Biden’
Story by David Wetzel • 10h agoJoe Biden's presidential campaign allegedly urged a top United States official to "help Biden" by getting signatures stating that the investigation on Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation.
The Biden camp reportedly asked former acting CIA Director Mike Morell to "help Biden" get 50 colleagues to sign a letter in October 2020 stating that the allegations about Hunter Biden's laptop having damning information was merely a ploy by the Russians to undermine the United States.

Morell told the House Judiciary Committee during a private sworn testimony that Antony Blinken, now the secretary of state, was the Biden camp official who asked him "on or before" Oct. 17, 2020, to organize signatures to say the allegations against Hunter Biden were Russian misinformation.
That came three days after the New York Post published an email from the laptop that suggested Hunter Biden introduced a Ukrainian business partner to his father, who at the time was the vice president of the United States.

Morell told House members that he had no intention of exonerating Biden until after Blinken's call.
However, he did admit that the conversation "triggered … that intent."
Morell received an email containing a USA Today report that claimed the FBI was looking into whether the probe into Hunter Biden's laptop was part of a "disinformation campaign."

The email was signed by Andrew Bates, then-director of Biden's rapid-response team.

Morell told lawmakers that he did "a little bit of my own research" before speaking with CIA senior operations officer Marc Polymeropoulos for advice on putting together a letter that would discredit the New York Post's reporting.
Morell then collected signatures from 51 former intelligence personnel, including his own and four other former CIA directors such as John Brennan and Leon Panetta.

According to Morell, he sent an email to Nick Shapiro, former deputy chief of staff to Brennan, saying that the Biden campaign wanted the letter to go to one particular reporter with the Washington Post.
However, Morell said he didn't know why the Biden camp wanted the letter to go to that particular reporter.
It turned out that Shapiro took the letter to POLITICO, which published it on Oct. 19 with a headline saying "Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former officials say."

The letter claimed that the New York Post's story had all the signs of Russian disinformation.
Biden then used that information during a debate against Donald Trump.
Morell told House lawmakers that he then received a call from Steve Ricchetti, chairman of the Biden campaign, thanking him for preparing the letter.
“He was the head of the Biden campaign at the time … Steve thanked me for putting the statement out. And that was the extent of the conversation," according to the New York Post.
