Matt Margolis writes for PJMedia.com about interesting revelations involving a controversial Biden administration story.
We all remember how, in the fall of 2020, the Biden campaign scrambled to discredit the New York Post’s bombshell report on Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell.” Just days before a crucial debate, they enlisted 51 former intelligence officials to sign a letter suggesting the laptop was Russian disinformation—giving Biden the perfect excuse to dismiss the story when Trump confronted him. That letter also handed Big Tech the justification to censor the story across social media, making it one of the most brazen examples of election interference in U.S. history.
On his first day back in office, Trump revoked the security clearances of those 51 officials. Since then, they’ve spun excuse after excuse—including the laughable claim that they never actually called the laptop Russian disinformation. But now, a leaked email from John Brennan, one of the key signers, exposes the truth. Not only did these officials back the letter, but they did so with the explicit goal of helping Biden mislead the public. It’s a damning revelation that confirms their role in manipulating the election narrative.
On October 19, 2020, former CIA Director Mike Morell sent Brennan a copy of the letter, asking if he could add his name to the list, before explicitly stating he was “trying to give the [Biden] campaign, particularly during the debate on Thursday, a talking point to push back on Trump on this.”
Brennan replied within 20 minutes, telling Morrell, “Ok, Michael, add my name to the list. Good initiative. Thanks for asking me to sign on.”
Did Brennan even review the laptop’s contents before signing the letter insisting the laptop had the hallmarks of Russian disinformation? He didn’t have to. The Department of Justice knew back in 2019 the laptop was real.
But they signed the bogus letter anyway, and Joe Biden did use it as a talking point in the debate.
