CIA is SUED for working with the Biden campaign to produce 'Dirty 51' intel letter calling Hunter's laptop disinformation
2023-08-18
[MAIL] The CIA has been sued for its role in helping to craft a letter from 51 intelligence officials discrediting Hunter Biden's laptop as Russian disinformation.

The letter that was signed by 51 intel officials in 2020 immediately before the presidential election falsely claimed that Hunter Biden's laptop had all the 'classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.'

A Republican report released in May showed that the CIA was actively involved in getting signatures for the letter which 'was a political operation to help elect' Joe Biden in November 2020.

Government watchdog group Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit Thursday after it failed to receive requested documents from the agency regarding the internal crafting of the letter.

The GOP report alleges that a CIA employee 'may have helped in the effort to solicit signatures for the statement' and accuses former Deputy CIA director and Acting CIA Director Mike Morell and the Biden campaign of conspiring to quickly get the letter approved.

#5  It's a FOIA lawsuit. No discovery.

#4  If this lawsuit gets to 'discovery', it should be entertaining.

#1  I am not really keen on them messing with elections internationally unless they are able to do some comedy in a place like NK. They lost me at JFK.
