If that\u2019s not weaponization of our federal government, I don\u2019t know what is,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cammack is confirming what I\u2019ve <a href=\"https:\/\/americanliberty.news\/defense-news\/senior-us-spy-admits-biden-campaign-orchestrated-hunter-laptop-cover-up\/pcrespo\/2023\/04\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">noted previously<\/a> \u2013 that the unprecedented letter by dozens of supposedly nonpartisan spooks was used by the Biden campaign and its allies in the media to discredit, and help suppress, the mounds of incriminating emails, photos and other materials found on Hunter\u2019s forgotten laptop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The election-eve laptop story was first reported by the New York Post, but after this letter was published and widely disseminated by the establishment media, the story was crushed. Social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn went so far as disabling links to the story and censoring or removing posts about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Big Tech and Big Media labeled the story \u2018disinformation\u2019 \u2013 first based on their own bias, then justified by this Democrat disinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The laptop and most of its contents have since been independently verified as real and proven legitimate.&nbsp;But when Trump brought up the laptop report during their debate, Biden cited the letter as proof that the story was Russian disinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Had the story not been suppressed it could have swayed the election in favor of Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it was all a Democrat con job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to House Judiciary Committee Chairman&nbsp;Jim Jordan&nbsp;R-Ohio,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/john-brennans-closed-door-hearing-confirmed-hunter-laptop-letter-all-political-jim-jordan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">appearing on<\/a>&nbsp;Fox News, R-Ohio&nbsp;&#8220;[Brennan] sat for a four-hour interview, and he further confirmed that this thing was all political.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brennan was seemingly eager to add his name to the letter. Responding to&nbsp;former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell\u2019s request (Morell testified before the Judiciary Committee earlier in May), Brennan said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOk, Michael, add my name to the list. Good initiative. Thanks for asking me to sign on.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jordan also recounted what I have&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/americanliberty.news\/defense-news\/senior-us-spy-admits-biden-campaign-orchestrated-hunter-laptop-cover-up\/pcrespo\/2023\/04\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">previously written<\/a>, the fact that then-Biden 2020 campaign adviser Antony Blinken, now Biden\u2019s Secretary of State,&nbsp;was the &#8220;impetus&#8221;&nbsp;behind the letter, and it didn\u2019t come organically from anyone inside the community of intelligence veterans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I noted then, at Blinken\u2019s behest, the letter was drafted and organized in part by Morell who had also served as acting CIA director.&nbsp;At the time he was drafting the letter and seeking approval from the CIA, Morell was considered a front-runner to lead the agency if Biden were elected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It appears Morell thought that putting out a false letter to help Team Biden might cinch him the job. It didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his testimony, Morell referred to the letter as a \u201ctalking point\u201d to help Team Biden against Trump during their debate.&nbsp;On Fox News, Jordan mused why Biden, or the Democrats, believed they needed a &#8220;talking point&#8221; if they truly believed Hunter&#8217;s laptop was not real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Morell also reportedly told the CIA\u2019s Prepublication Classification Review Board (PCRB) which approves all public information released by former agency&nbsp;employees, that he needed the letter approved as a \u201crush job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;board approved the letter in a record five and a half hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An active CIA employee working for the same board then solicited a signature for the same letter from former CIA analyst David Cariens, according to a written statement by Cariens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, this is what some call the leftist \u2018Deep State.\u2019 Others simply know it as \u2018the Swamp.\u2019 But most dangerously, it is part of our federal government and intelligence agencies being weaponized for partisan and ideological goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next week, another partisan intelligence hack, and \u2018Spy Who Lied,\u2019 the&nbsp;Obama-era Director of National Intelligence (DNI), James Clapper, will appear before the committee.
