Bovard: Spy Letter About Hunter Biden Shows How Dems Are Undermining Democracy<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Authored by James Bovard,<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

In the closing address at last month\u2019s Summit for Democracy,\u00a0Secretary of State Antony Blinken<\/a>\u00a0piously proclaimed, \u201cAs\u00a0President Biden<\/a>\u00a0has said, democracy doesn\u2019t happen by accident… <\/strong>It requires constant effort.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Or in the case of the 2020 election, it required deceiving American voters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The House Judiciary Committee revealed that Blinken, then a top Biden adviser, orchestrated the letter from 51 top intelligence officials claiming that\u00a0Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop<\/a>\u00a0was nothing but a Russian disinformation campaign.<\/p>\n

Blinken contacted former acting CIA chief Mike Morell, who swayed scores of other former top officials \u2014 including three ex-CIA chiefs \u2014 to sign that letter to debunk the biggest threat to the Biden presidential campaign.<\/p>\n

In the final presidential debate on Oct. 22, Joe Biden invoked that letter from former intelligence officials to deflect\u00a0Donald Trump\u2019s attacks on Biden family corruption<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Polls show that Biden would have lost the election if the media had accurately reported the contents of that laptop.<\/p>\n

Biden pretended that letter arose spontaneously from the patriotic sentiments of former officials.<\/p>\n

But the letter was \u201ctriggered\u201d by Blinken\u2019s call to Morell, who then contacted his former colleagues.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blinken\u2019s ploy may have swayed Biden to appoint him secretary of state.<\/p>\n

The media are mostly ignoring or downplaying the revelations of Blinken\u2019s machinations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the roles were reversed, cable news and front-page headlines would be screaming about a villainous Trump operative pulling official strings to whitewash the Donald.<\/p>\n

MSNBC would be howling about the death of democracy, and CNN hosts would be sobbing hysterically about the dirty deal.<\/p>\n

But when Team Biden does it: nothing to see here, move along.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How many presidential elections can Democrats seek to dishonestly rig without suffering any penalty flags from media scorekeepers?<\/p>\n

Shortly before the 2016 election, senior Hillary Clinton adviser Jake Sullivan peddled false claims linking the Trump Organization to Russia.<\/p>\n

The Federal Election Commission last month levied a $113,000 fine on the Democratic National Committee and\u00a0Hillary Clinton\u2019s 2016 campaign<\/a>\u00a0for their deceptive funding to cover up their role in the\u00a0Steele dossier<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The FBI, which was apparently willing to pay any price to defeat Trump, offered former British spy Christopher Steele $1 million in cash if he could prove the charges in that dossier before the 2016 election.<\/p>\n

There was no proof \u2014 but that didn\u2019t stop the FBI from using the dossier to get warrants to spy on Trump campaign officials from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.<\/p>\n

Jake Sullivan is now Biden\u2019s national security adviser.<\/p>\n

Did he get that gig in part because of his willingness to lie for Democratic kingpins?<\/p>\n

Avril Haines is Biden\u2019s director of national intelligence.<\/p>\n

Did signing the Hunter laptop letter help her snare that plum job?<\/p>\n

The letter Blinken finagled would not have been so influential if journalists were not shamelessly docile to federal job titles.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inside the Beltway, former intelligence kingpins are viewed like royalty or at least second-tier aristocracy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But the CIA has a long record of secretly intervening in dozens of foreign elections.<\/p>\n

In 2019, former CIA director\u00a0Mike Pompeo<\/a>\u00a0summarized his agency\u2019s motif: \u201cWe lied, we cheated, we stole. It was like we had entire training courses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former CIA chief James Woolsey insisted in 2018 that the CIA intervenes in elections \u201conly for a very good cause in the interests of democracy.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet the letter from former spooks was instantly revered by journalists as if it were handed down from Mt. Sinai.<\/p>\n

For the Washington political elite, defeating Donald Trump was the ultimate good cause to save democracy.<\/p>\n

Biden talks as if his 2020 election victory was the result of practically a divine incarnation of the \u201cwill of the people.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, presidential elections are irrevocable regardless of how many voters were conned.<\/p>\n

How much official deceit can democracy survive?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Any notion of \u201cinformed consent\u201d by voters is a mirage if federal agencies and former officials have the power to endlessly distort the news.<\/p>\n

Shortly after he became secretary of state, Blinken boasted that the US government doesn\u2019t sweep problems \u201cunder the rug. . . . We deal with them in the daylight, with full transparency.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

That pledge apparently did not extend to Blinken\u2019s own tampering with the 2020 election.<\/p>\n

What else is Blinken hiding, and when will the next shoe fall?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
