Former Trump CIA Director Approved One Document That Proves The 2020 Election Was Rigged
Democrats spent four years claiming the 2020 election was the most secure in history.
That narrative just took a devastating hit.
And Former Trump CIA Director Gina Haspel approved one document that proves the 2020 election was rigged.
Trump's CIA Director Knew About the Letter Before It Went Public
A newly uncovered email obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests exposes the full scope of the conspiracy to bury the Hunter Biden laptop story five days before the 2020 election.
Would-be Biden Secretary of State Antony Blinken contacted former CIA Deputy Director Mike Morrell on October 17, 2020 about the New York Post's bombshell reporting on Hunter's abandoned laptop.
Within four days, 51 former and current intelligence officials signed a letter falsely claiming the laptop had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation."
The letter gave Joe Biden the exact talking point he needed during the final presidential debate when Trump raised the laptop issue.
Biden cited the letter to dismiss the laptop as Russian disinformation, declaring "there are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what he's accusing me of is a Russian plant."
But here's what nobody knew at the time — then CIA Director Gina Haspel and senior CIA officials were briefed on the letter before it was published.
The CIA's Prepublication Classification Review Board forwarded the letter to the agency's chief operating officer, who testified to Congress he informed either Haspel or her deputy directly.
Haspel had the power to stop this election interference dead in its tracks.
She didn't.
Active CIA Contractors Worked with Biden Campaign to Rig the Election
The corruption runs even deeper than anyone imagined.
House investigations revealed that at least two signatories — including Mike Morrell himself — were active CIA contractors when they signed the letter.
Morrell wasn't just a "former" intelligence official lending his credibility.
He was on the CIA's payroll.
So was former CIA Inspector General David Buckley.
These weren't retired officials sharing their personal opinions.
They were government contractors using their active security clearances to interfere in a presidential election.
Morrell admitted under oath that Blinken's phone call "set in motion the events that led to" the letter's publication.
He testified that one of his two goals was "to help Vice President Biden" win the debate and "assist him in winning the election."
Translation: this was a coordinated operation between the Biden campaign and active CIA personnel to manipulate voters.
The CIA even helped recruit signatories for the letter.
Retired CIA officer David Cariens told Congress he was contacted by a CIA employee about signing the statement.
That employee worked for the CIA's Prepublication Classification Review Board — the same board that approved the letter for publication.
This Violated Every Rule About CIA Domestic Operations
Since the CIA's creation in 1947, federal law has prohibited the agency from interfering in domestic politics.
The National Security Act makes it crystal clear — the CIA coordinates foreign intelligence, not domestic political campaigns.
Using government resources and active contractors to spread disinformation during a presidential election isn't just unethical.
It's illegal.
Internal CIA emails show some officers understood exactly what was happening.
"This frustrates me. I don't think it is helpful to the Agency in the long run. Sigh," one unnamed CIA official wrote on October 20, 2020 — the day after Politico published the letter.
Even CIA employees knew this was wrong.
But the operation proceeded anyway because senior leadership refused to stop it.
Trump's response after regaining power was swift and decisive.
On his first day back in office, Trump signed an executive order revoking the security clearances of all 51 signatories for "misleading and inappropriate political coordination with the 2020 Biden presidential campaign."
The order specifically notes that "senior CIA officials were made aware of the contents of the letter" and that "multiple signatories held clearances at the time and maintained ongoing contractual relationships with the CIA."
The Laptop Was Real and Everybody Knew It
Kash Patel knew what happened.
The FBI had Hunter's laptop since December 2019 — nearly a year before the letter was published.
FBI investigators concluded immediately that the laptop was genuine and hadn't been tampered with.
The laptop later became key evidence in Hunter Biden's federal gun trial, where he was convicted on all charges.
Every media outlet that dismissed the story as Russian disinformation has been forced to admit they were wrong.
The New York Post was right all along.
The 51 intelligence officials lied.
And the CIA approved those lies for publication five days before Americans went to vote.
Blinken orchestrated the entire scheme while serving as a senior Biden campaign adviser.
He went on to become Biden’s Secretary of State, and has flat-out refused to answer questions about his role in one of the most brazen election interference operations in American history.
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner demanded Blinken produce documents about his involvement.
Blinken has provided exactly zero documents in response.
Former President Biden’s administration and CIA "declined to cooperate with this oversight," according to the House report.
They've stonewalled because the truth destroys their narrative about 2020 being a fair election.
This wasn't Russian interference.
This was the CIA interfering in an American election to install their preferred candidate.
And they almost got away with it.
