When 51 ex-intelligence officials signed the October 2020 “laptop letter,” they were lying to get Joe Biden elected as president. Yet, they also contributed to antagonizing Russia, further instilling distrust, and perhaps playing a part in the calculus prompting Putin’s invasion of Ukraine a year after Biden was installed into his perilous perch at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
The former spooks, spies, and psy-op masters claimed that the Hunter Biden story possessed “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
Yet, anyone who’d been following the strange story of Biden family corruption, now clearly laid out in detail in a 36-page memorandum by House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), knew from the beginning that those 51 former intel bigwigs were lying through their teeth.
Now one of them, former CIA Director John Brennan, has been interrogated by Congress — and implicated another CIA Director for organizing the disinformation campaign.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) had charged Brennan with recruiting the 51 signatories to the now-infamous letter, which not only provided ammo for Biden in the 2020 presidential debates, it enabled Twitter to suppress the story. But it now appears that the recruiter was, instead, then-Acting CIA Director Mike Morrell.
In his four-hour testimony, Brennan confessed that the letter was “political” — that is, designed to get Biden elected.
The truth about the Biden family shake-down system, which evidence shows involved a whopping nine Biden family members, not just the “Big Guy” and his brother and his wayward son, taking in the big bucks from foreign sources, using a variety of bank accounts and shell corporations, but with no discernible product.
Back in 2020, those 51 trusted experts wrote: “It is high time that Russia stops interfering in our democracy.”
And past time for our Deep State to halt its very clear pattern of domestic election interference.
This is Common Sense. I’m Paul Jacob.

It is impossible to keep those in the government from being interested in and seeking their own perceived benefit. They are citizens and voters. They seek their own advancement as well as the preservation of their powers. They are by rule to be apolitical but are not with that rule generally not being enforced.
The only answer is limit money available to them with a balanced budget and a maximum percentage of GDP taxation limitation amendments. Holding the governmental functions to actually enumerated powers would be helpful as well, but it appears that cat is out of the bag thanks to nearly 250 years of misinterpretations and expansions authored by the judicial branch and welcomed by its legislative and executive compatriots.
Gitmo is calling these people, and many others.
Can’t be soon enough.
What difference, at this point, does it make? The damage has been done. There is no way to undo it.
