Staff Reports
In a bombshell report released by the House Judiciary GOP, it has been revealed that two of the “former” intelligence officials who signed a letter dismissing the Hunter Biden laptop scandal as Russian disinformation were actually on the CIA’s payroll at the time. This revelation points to a concerning overlap between political agendas and intelligence agencies.
Former Deputy Director Michael Morell and former CIA Inspector General David Buckley were identified as being under active contract with the CIA when they signed the statement. The report also highlighted that other signatories may have been in a similar situation, but the full extent remains undisclosed due to the CIA’s lack of transparency.

Moreover, the report raised red flags about classified information being included in media talking points related to the statement. This misconduct underscores a breach of trust and ethics within the intelligence community, particularly as it pertains to influencing political narratives.
The involvement of high-ranking CIA officials, including then-CIA Director Gina Haspel, in the approval process of the statement further complicates the issue. The report suggests that there was a potential oversight in ensuring that such a politically charged statement was properly vetted and free from any improper influence.
Overall, this report sheds light on the dangerous implications of mixing intelligence operations with partisan agendas. It calls into question the integrity of certain intelligence officials and raises concerns about the level of political bias within the CIA. Conservatives are rightfully alarmed by these findings and are demanding accountability and reform within the intelligence community to prevent such abuses from happening again.
