House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is investigating
whether any of the 51 “spies who lie” who signed a statement in October
2020 claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop was likely a Russian disinformation
operation were on the CIA’s payroll at the time.

“[W]e understand that former intelligence officials often return to the
intelligence community under private contract for their previous
agencies,” Jordan wrote in a Dec. 4 letter to CIA Director William Burns
obtained by The Post.

“It is vital to the Committees’ oversight to understand whether any of
the signatories of the public statement were actively employed by CIA as
contractors or consultants at the time they signed the public
statement.”

Jordan gave Burns until Dec. 15 to reveal any of the 51 signers who have
been on an active contract or consulting for the CIA at any time since
Jan. 1, 2020, and in what capacity — especially if their work related to
the Biden family.

Jordan also said the CIA has not complied with records requests that his
panel submitted in May, citing “fundamental concerns about the role of
the CIA in helping to falsely discredit allegations about the Biden
family in the weeks before the 2020 presidential election.”

The Judiciary chairman said that earlier production of documents
indicated initially unclassified records had been marked as classified
before coming into the committee’s hands — and that the records related
“directly” to “the CIA’s awareness of the public statement before its
publication.”

“After a careful review of the classified production of documents that
were originally unclassified and retained their previous unclassified
markings, it is apparent that the classification of these documents was
not for the purpose of protecting American national security, but rather
to shield the CIA from potential embarrassment,” Jordan wrote.

“Thus, it appears that the CIA’s decision to baselessly classify these
documents frustrates and impedes the Committees’ ability to fulfill our
constitutional oversight obligations.”

Jordan had threatened to subpoena the CIA in May if it declined to hand
over the information.

The Oct. 18 open letter sought to discredit The Post’s bombshell
reporting that the first son had involved his father, then-presidential
candidate Joe Biden, in his lucrative overseas business ventures,
according to emails found on his abandoned laptop.

The 51 officials said the leaked emails possessed “all the classic
earmarks of a Russian information operation,” a claim which Big Tech
platforms like Facebook and Twitter used to suppress the story’s reach,
saying The Post report violated their policies concerning hacked
material.

The social media companies censored The Post even after having been
informed by the FBI that the contents of the laptop were authentic.

The Post revealed many of the signatories on its March 19, 2022, front
page, one of whom was later discovered to be a former CIA agent who was
employed at Twitter on Election Day 2020.

Former CIA acting director Mike Morell had recruited the signatories
after having spoken with then-Biden campaign adviser Antony Blinken, now
secretary of state.

Then-candidate Joe Biden referenced the letter during the second and
final presidential debate against former President Donald Trump on Oct.
22, 2020, falsely claiming the laptop to be a “Russian plant.”

David Cariens, a former CIA analyst, revealed that Morell had asked for
the analyst’s signature on the infamous letter when Cariens was speaking
with the agency’s Prepublication Classification Review Board about his
forthcoming memoir.

That exchange and others about the CIA’s knowledge of the letter were
disclosed by the House Judiciary Committee in a May staff report.

Under questioning from reporters, several former intelligence officials
who signed the letter have chosen to defend the statement, with
Obama-era CIA Director Leon Panetta telling Fox News in October, “No, I
don’t have any regrets.”

Another waste of time and money, and proof the Republiscums/QAnon are not fit to
govern.
