Gather around, folks, because what we have here is the kind of political bombshell that makes Watergate look like a minor hiccup. According to a jaw-dropping new report from the House Judiciary GOP, former CIA contractors colluded with the Biden campaign to discredit the infamous Hunter Biden laptop story in the crucial weeks leading up to the 2020 presidential election. Yep, CIA elites allegedly teamed up with Biden’s camp to label the laptop scandal as Russian disinformation.
So, what exactly happened? The House Judiciary, Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence have laid it all out in black and white. The report unveils how 51 high-ranking former intelligence officials—with their official titles prominently displayed—issued a public statement claiming the Hunter Biden laptop story had all the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign. This move gave Joe Biden a slick talking point during debates and media appearances, helping him deflect accusations from then-President Donald Trump.
Here’s where things get really spicy: One of the most shocking revelations is the involvement of Michael Morell and other top-tier former CIA officials who were still under contract with the agency while orchestrating this politically motivated operation. Morell himself admitted that without outreach from then-Biden campaign advisor Antony Blinken, he wouldn’t have written the damning statement.

The timing couldn’t have been more perfect—or more suspicious. When the New York Post published articles based on emails purportedly from Hunter’s laptop, suggesting potentially compromising business dealings involving his father, the Biden campaign leapt into action. Prominent Democrats and former intelligence officials wasted no time labeling the story as Russian disinformation, despite having zero direct evidence of Russian involvement. Their professional assessment managed to shape public perception at a critical juncture in the election cycle.
Social media giants also played a role, limiting the dissemination of the story under the guise of preventing the spread of harmful disinformation. This digital chokehold contributed to the narrative that the laptop was bogus, significantly altering the voters’ decision-making process.
Internal CIA emails and testimonies revealed deep concerns within the agency about the political nature of the statement. One frustrated CIA employee lamented, “This frustrates me. I don’t think it is helpful to the Agency in the long run.” Despite these concerns, then-CIA Director Gina Haspel and senior officials let the statement proceed without thorough vetting, effectively giving it the green light.
The motivation behind this coordinated effort? Simple: To give Biden a solid rebuttal when Trump inevitably brought up the laptop during debates. Morell’s email to potential signatories laid it bare: “We think Trump will attack Biden on the issue at this week’s debate and we want to give the [Vice President] a talking point to use in response.”
Committee members are now calling for legislative measures to ensure that intelligence officials don’t exploit their positions for partisan gain. As Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) succinctly put it, “We reveal how officials at the highest levels of the CIA were aware of the statement and CIA employees knew that several of the so-called former officials were on active contract with the CIA.”
This bombshell report is not just another chapter in the Hunter Biden saga; it’s a blazing testament to the tangled web of politics and intelligence, raising serious questions about the integrity of democratic processes.
