IN 2020, the CIA lied to the US Senate, saying that the Hunter Biden laptop story was "Russian disinformation"

[berg80]

The CIA knew this was false, but they lied to the US Senate and the American people to help Joe Biden get elected.

This is what actual insurrection looks like.



The highest officials within the CIA were aware of the statement prior to its publication. CIA’s Chief Operating Officer (COO) Andrew Makridis testified that he informed Director Gina Haspel or Deputy Director Vaughn Frederick Bishop about its impending release. This sequence of events suggests that senior CIA leadership had ample opportunity to assess the validity of the statement's claims. Furthermore, the COO’s office appeared to signal approval of the statement in a move that departed from standard Prepublication Classification Review Board (PCRB) protocols.

Additionally, some of the statement's signatories were on active contract with the CIA at the time they issued the statement to discredit damaging allegations about Biden family influence peddling. Despite claiming they lacked access to classified information at the time, at least two signatories—Michael Morell and former CIA Inspector General David Buckley—were actively working for the CIA as contractors. This revelation raises concerns that these officials may have abused their positions to expedite the statement's approval and may have been earning taxpayer dollars while they did it.

Furthermore, officials within the CIA recognized at the time that the Hunter Biden statement was political and would hurt the Agency. 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. This report underscores the potential dangers of a politicized intelligence community.

Sour grapes?

WASHINGTON – In a blow to House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into the president, the CIA refuted a whistleblower’s allegations that the agency sought to block a federal investigation into President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, on Thursday.

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., and House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, sent a letter to the CIA in March saying a whistleblower informed them the CIA blocked the Department of Justice and IRS investigators from interviewing a benefactor of Hunter Biden.

The CIA called the allegation “false” in a letter obtained by USA TODAY and sent to the chairs on Thursday.

“Without confirming or denying the existence of any associations for communications, CIA did not prevent or seek to prevent IRS or DOJ from conducting any such interview. The allegation is false,” CIA director of congressional affairs James Catella wrote.

There’s nothing to refute if we are not required to trust Mike Lee.

No reason to trust your conspiracy theory that Mike Lee has provided false statements.

Isn't it funny how the left has complete, 100% faith in everything the CIA says?

I never thought I'd live to see the day...

Trump’s whole administration was dishonest

No reason to trust your conspiracy theory that Mike Lee has provided false statements.

But you said I don’t have to trust him, so your statement is perfectly consistent with mine.

At least until you did a 180 on the issue.

It's a soothing balm that helps them excuse their lies and deceit.

You are free to offer something other than conspiracy theories to support your argument

 

[Marener]

Not offering any conspiracy. If we don’t trust him, then there’s nothing to his claim.

But you didn’t really mean that when you said it, which makes you disingenuous.

 

[Hollie]

And if we don't trust you there is nothing but conspiracy theory to your claim. That makes you disingenuous and a conspiracy theorist.

Just so we're clear, your faith is in the CIA on this issue, right?

The CIA hasn’t said anything about the briefing so there’s nothing for me to put faith into.

Are you expecting the CIA to admit to false statements to congress? That would blow up years of lies and fraud by the democrats.

Again, this entire issue comes from the claims of an individual whom you previously claimed I don’t have to trust.

So that means it’s not an issue at all.

 

[Markle]

Shaking someone’s hand and saying hi isn’t getting involved in Hunter’s business.

 

[berg80]

The CIA initially ignored requests for testimony regarding Hunter's laptop in 2020 because they realized House Repubs were using the investigation for political reasons. Nothing has changed since then.

Trust is not an issue. The congressional record will reflect the testimony. You will have an opportunity to refute the testimony.

What they are on record realizing is that the 51 analysts were interfering in the election -
Some of them doing contact work for the agency at the time.
There were memos within the agency that had concern for this.

 

[BlindBoo]

I havrnt personally seen what was on the laptop

And neither have you

We both only have what the CIA tells us about it

You may trust the Deep State but I dont

The FBI has the laptop that was allegedly dropped off at the repair center. But the CIA sounds very spooky! The DOJ used information in his "checking the box" conviction. No information from the laptop has been used to bring corruption charges against President Biden or his son.

Help the "DUH Heap State" is coming to get me!

It seems you don't take issue with democrats using their years long fraud for political purposes - election interference.
