John Solomon: The Biden Campaign Was Behind the "51 Intelligence Officers" Letter; Current Secretary of State Anthony Blinken was Directed by Biden to Organize The Campaign Op
Updated!

Congress now has testimony from Mike Morrell -- the CIA official who said nothing when his superior lied to Congress, and who later quit government to make big money working for a Hillary Clinton-connected "intelligence" company (Beacon) -- that the entire lie was organized by our Secretary of State.

He called up his leftwing intelligence buddies and told them to lie.

I hear that Morrell says Blinken lied to some of the officials to get them to sign the lying letter, telling them it would not be used for political purposes. Blinken also told them that they had evidence that the laptop was a Russian op, which, of course, was a lie.

Solomon says the testimony will become public when it is "transmitted" to other branches of government. I have no idea what this means, but I'm going to assume it means that Jim Jordan is writing a letter to Merrick Garland telling him to investigate Anthony Blinken, and this letter will include the charges that Blinken used US Intelligence to Interfere in a Presidential Election.

I also hear that Lindsey Graham is going to write a letter disclosing the information.

Update: ( might have misheard that, I might have been told he's going to *comment* on it, which he just did in the Fox interview I added below the fold.

Bonus: Lindsey Graham talks about the Hunter Biden whistleblower, mentioned in the previous post. He also talks about the Mike Morrell testimony.

Miranda Divine reports on the leftwing media grumbling that they showed up for the Fox trial in Wilmington, Delaware, and then didn't get a story.

She wants to know why they don't just visit the Wilmington offices of the US Attorney pretending to investigate Hunter Biden, and ask him about the charges that he's tanking the investigation deliberately.

She then reports on the Morrell revelations:

Take the bombshell this week from former acting CIA Director Mike Morell.
In a sworn interview, Morell has admitted it was Joe Biden's presidential campaign that prompted the infamous letter in which Morell and 50 fellow former intelligence officials falsely claimed that material from Hunter Biden's laptop published by The Post before the 2020 election was Russian disinformation, sources in the House Judiciary Committee have confirmed.
Tony Blinken, now secretary of state, was the Biden campaign foreign affairs adviser who urgently phoned Morell in October 2020 to suggest the laptop was a Russian plant.

"We can prove that the entire purpose of this letter at the outset was to influence a presidential election with some of the most senior people who have ever been in our intelligence community using the imprimatur of their security clearances to pave the way for Joe Biden's presidency," Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) told Steve Bannon's "War Room" podcast this week.
...
"Morell wanted to be Joe Biden's CIA director, got a phone call from Tony Blinken, who was representing the Biden campaign, saying, 'Gee, Mike, doesn't this Hunter Biden laptop look like Russian disinformation?' " said Gaetz.
"Morell testifies that then triggers him to be the ringleader of an enterprise to go to others and to put together a letter for the specific purpose of use by Joe Biden in the presidential debate ... We can prove that and much more."
The committee has also interviewed a former adviser to ex-CIA Director John Brennan and Obama White House alum Nick Shapiro, who cooked up the letter with Morell and delivered it to Politico.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) will release a report in the next couple of weeks tracing the origins of the "Dirty 51" letter, showing it constituted corrupt interference in the 2020 presidential election.
Meanwhile, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) this week revealed that newly accessed financial records from the Treasury Department show "the Biden family enterprise is centered on Joe Biden's political career and connections, and it has generated an exorbitant amount of money for the Biden family."

Note that Mike Morrell is a commentator for CBS.

Divine offers some speculation as to which of Merrick Garland's sworn statements before Congress were perjurious:

What's more, the whistleblower has evidence that will "contradict sworn testimony to Congress by a senior political appointee" -- who is Attorney General Merrick Garland, according to congressional sources.

In sworn testimony to a Senate oversight hearing on March 1, Garland was grilled about the Delaware investigation into Hunter by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). Garland was asked whether Weiss had "sought permission of another US Attorney's Office, such as in the District of Columbia or California [both places where Hunter has lived], to bring [tax-related] charges? If so, was it denied?"
Garland replied that he did not know but went on to insist that Weiss has been "advised that he has full authority ... to bring cases in other jurisdictions if he feels it necessary ... He is not to be denied anything that he needs, and if that were to happen, it should ascend through the department's ranks, and I have not heard anything from that office to suggest that they are not able to do everything that the US attorney wants to do."
Grassley pointed out that "without special-counsel authority, [Weiss] could need permission of another US attorney ... to bring charges outside the district of Delaware."
Garland replied: "I promised to leave the matter of Hunter Biden in the hands of the US attorney in the district of Delaware ... I pledged not to interfere with that investigation, and I have carried through on that pledge."

That sounds right to me. I think Divine is right, that Merrick Garland has denied the US Attorney the power to bring charges against Hunter Biden for crimes committed in another jurisdiction, which proves Garland perjured himself before Congress.

And I bet you she isn't just "speculating," either -- I think she has probably been told about the specific perjured statement.

Update: Note that I have previously said that it's David Weiss, the US Attorney for Delaware, who is tanking the case. As Jack Straw points out, assuming this whistleblower statement is true, it's Merrick Garland who is tanking the case, by refusing him the authority, which he requested, to investigate crimes taking place in California.

This was an early test to see if it'd clear the launch pad, which it definitely did. Everything past that is extra data they can use in the future.

This isn't just because Garland is connected and in the deepest part of the deep state, this is because lying to Congress is irrelevant. *Everyone* lies to Congress. It's totally expected at this point. It's just a form of sport. Congress expects to be lied to. Witnesses expect to lie to Congress. It's all just so much theater and has been for many, many years.

Industrialists, activists, politicians, appointees, bureaucrats, other Congressmen - *everyone* lies to Congress. On the odd occasion that Congress decides to mention this or "do something about it," it is a form of failure theater - like demanding that Eric Holder arrest himself for Contempt of Congress.

It's just part of the show.

It has nothing to do with your worth in the private sector, other than possibly increasing it.

Companies hire ex-spooks for a reason, and that reason is usually keeping their fingers on the pulse of the state and maximizing money and influence. The guys who signed this letter are insiders. They're "good guys" who are in tight with the State/Party Complex. Their friends and colleagues are a valuable resource, and these spooks can channel that into the coffers of whoever hires them.

Nobody is looking for honesty or critical assessment. Nobody is looking for analysis. They're looking for entry into the vast web of influence networks in Washington, or expansion of existing activity. These guys are fantastic candidates for that. Their "private-sector" value is not even remotely reduced by this.

145 Major gold heist at Pearson [Toronto International Airport], movie plot turns reality in GTA
At this point, investigators don’t know who stole the gold

It’s the kind of stuff movies are made of — a robbery from a supposedly secure facility, a huge amount of gold now missing and a mystery about who is behind it.
Peel Regional Police have enlisted the help of the RCMP following a massive gold heist at Pearson airport.

Earlier this week, someone made off with 3,600 pounds of gold being moved through the airport. Pearson is often used to move gold mined in Ontario to customers around the world.

At current spot prices for gold, that would put value of the heist at more than $100 million.

While that sounds like a lot of gold, and it is definitely worth a lot, it could have been smuggled out of the airport in something as simple as a heavy-duty pickup truck.

151 I'm still amazed at the SpaceX launch this morning.

The Saturn V rockets we used for the Apollo program generated over 6 million pounds of thrust at lift off. The Starship rocket that launched this morning generates 17 million pounds of thrust.

The Saturn Vs when they took off generated so much thrust they would literally pound Pad 39A few inches into the ground. I have no idea how they're handling this in Texas with this latest rocket. I realize the rockets are greatly advanced from the old F1 Saturn days and use different fuel mixtures but thrust is thrust. Over the years, NASA used a series of aqueducts and water reservoirs under the launch pad that were filled shortly before launch with millions of gallons of water. Practically all of that was turned to steam during launch, hence the enormous clouds you saw around the launch pad and pictures. I don't know if they're doing something like that in Texas or if they're going completely in a different direction.

17 million pounds of thrust. The largest rocket anyone's ever launched. And we're 120 years out from the first flight at Kitty Hawk.

The principles of stakeholderism is that if you can pony up the money or the support then the theories must be applied to your benefit and your interests as you are the most important part of the equation.

275 Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday just destroyed Senator Tommy Tuber's talking points that attacked a non-binary Navy Officer who was proud that they had the chance to read a poem to their crew mates on an LGBTQ spoken-word night.

If Republicans get control of the military again, just think how awful it will be for LGBTQ people.

Admiral Gilday said to Tuberville that the officer "took the same oath that you and I did...to put...our lives on the line". Toobs didn't serve, so this is world class trolling.

I served with LGBTQ individuals ranging from clerks to mechanics to logisticians to engineers, all of whom performed superbly.

The more I observe Senator Tuberville of Alabama the more I think his nickname should be "bigot". His whining to the admiral is Exhibit One of his bigotry towards anyone other than someone like himself.

That's my senior senator from the great state of Alabackwards. Admiral Gilday did a beautiful job of addressing the bigoted football coach who is totally unqualified to be a Senator and a human being.

“I also want to say a word about the decision yesterday made by the Florida Board of Education to expand the state’s dystopian Don’t Say Gay law. As this measure takes effect, it will prohibit all students up to seniors in high school from learning about our, or, learning about or even discussing LGBTQI+ people in the classrooms. Teachers in Florida have already faced the devastating consequences of the existing law. Under threat of having their licenses revoked, gay teachers have been forced to take down pictures of their spouses from their desks and censor their classroom materials. Censoring our classes is not how public education is supposed to work in a free country. Conservative politicians love to complain about the so-called cancel culture, all while threatening teachers with losing their jobs if they teach something that the MAGA extremists don’t agree with.”

This gets to one of my big pet peeves regarding these terms. First, as I understand it, if you either attend or graduate from a school, you're an alumnus.

Now, every college license plate holder, or tchotchke that I see coming from a college, says [name of school] Alumni. This is absolutely incorrect. If you're a male alumnus, you're an alumnus. If you're female, your an alumna. Alumni is plural, and it's used all the time - even the fancy schools use it, and it's incorrect. They should know better.

Uh, oh! I can't remember the band leader's name off the top of my head and had to look it up!

328 It appears to be too late to get State Dept personnel out of Sudan. Military options are being planned, but they aren't likely to succeed.

So some State department people might get killed? Oh no... anyway...
Posted by: I used to have a different nic at April 20, 2023 02:37 PM (1Z8zZ)

Assuming there are any decent State Dept people, they are more likely to be in Sudan than in a nice posting, or in DC.

330 I can barely conceive a scenario where this could have been played worse for the US/NATO interests. Literally every action has been magnitudes worse than the last re. Ukraine.

Exactly as planned. Not incompetence nor stupidity or even bad luck. This was planned.

If your planners keep having you get crowbars smashed across your skull as part of the plan, you need different planners.

331 My Dad told me the story of an early pre-NASA missile launch with all of the top military brass present. There was a halt during the final countdown. One of the launch team was sent out to the pad to fix something on the booster. He did whatever he did, then hustled back to the bunker. The countdown resumed and the missile went up and did its thing. The post-launch team meeting went through its paces and von Braun paused and asked "The man who serviced the booster, was he an engineer or a technician?" When von Braun was told that he was an engineer, von Braun replied, "Next time, send a technician."
