House Republicans Investigate CIA Interference in Hunter Biden Investigation

House Republicans are demanding answers from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) after a whistleblower came forward with allegations of agency interference to thwart investigations into Hunter Biden.

On Thursday, the GOP chairmen of the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees sent CIA Director William Burns a letter seeking records related to claims the CIA acted with the Department of Justice to protect President Joe Biden and his son.

“The information we recently received from the whistleblower seems to corroborate our concerns about DOJ’s deviations from standard process to provide Hunter Biden with preferential treatment,” lawmakers wrote. “According to the whistleblower, in August 2021, when IRS investigators were preparing to interview Patrick Kevin Morris, an associate of Hunter Biden, the CIA intervened to stop the interview.”

“Two DOJ officials were allegedly summoned to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia for a briefing regarding Mr. Morris,” lawmakers added. “At that meeting, it was communicated that Mr. Morris could not be a witness during the investigation.”

Text Messages Show CIA Deployed Personnel Domestically to Capitol January 6, 2021

By Breitbart. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) deployed personnel to the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, text messages recently obtained by Judicial Watch via Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) show.

The CIA is generally prohibited from spying on American citizens — leaving that job to the FBI. In fact, the FBI’s website states: “The CIA collects information only regarding foreign countries and their citizens. Unlike the FBI, it is prohibited from collecting information regarding ‘U.S. Persons,’ a term that includes U.S. citizens, resident aliens, legal immigrants, and U.S. corporations, regardless of where they are located.”

However, the text messages obtained by Judicial Watch showed that “several” teams were deployed to the Capitol on January 6, 2021. After Judicial Watch sued the Justice Department for not responding to a FOIA request, the DOJ handed over documents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) that included the text messages.

The text messages were under the heading: “January 7 Intel Chain.”

One series of text messages said “two CIA bomb techs” are assisting with “a pipe bomb scene on New Jersey and D ST SE.” The location is where two pipebombs were allegedly left at the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee headquarters.

Video: CIA deployed personnel during Jan 6 Capitol storming, records show

By American Military News. A government watchdog group announced Wednesday that it obtained new records showing that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) deployed personnel to Washington, D.C., during the Capitol Hill protest on January 6, 2021. . .

According to Judicial Watch, the disclosure of the CIA’s involvement in the federal government’s response to the Capitol Hill protest was forced by a Judicial Watch lawsuit after the Justice Department refused to grant a FOIA request for records and communications pertaining to the reports of shots being fired inside the Capitol. . .

In a video posted on social media, Fitton explained that the recent disclosure of the CIA’s involvement in the response to the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6 raises many questions.

“First of all, why did it take Judicial Watch heavy lifting in federal court to get access to these documents after all these years?” Fitton asked. “Why didn’t the Pelosi January 6 Committee, even as corrupt as it was, not disclose the CIA involvement? What was the CIA involved for? Were they investigating foreign intelligence operations? Were they investigating American citizens? What else have they done related to January 6?”

CIA Gave Highly Classified Intelligence to Journos to Fight a PR War Against Anti-Ukraine Republicans in Congress

Well, it looks like the band’s back together. The CIA and the New York Times have teamed up yet again to pull a fast one on the American people. Sadly, this shouldn’t surprise anybody. After all, the CIA and the New York Times have been working together to gaslight the American people on a whole host of issues, including the infamous and debunked “Russia hoax.”

There’s a common misconception that the CIA’s job is to protect the US from foreign dangers. That’s a cute idea, but it’s not true. . .

According to Mike Benz, this is the key paragraph from the New York Times CIA Ukraine piece that reveals, explicitly, why the CIA hand-selected the NYT to publish highly classified intelligence and invited hand-selected NYT journalists onto a secret CIA base: It was to pressure Republicans in Congress to keep funding Ukraine.

Mike appeared on Fox News radio and discussed three key points regarding the Ukraine/New York Times bombshell:

Report: CIA Started Russia Collusion Hoax By Asking Foreign Governments To Spy On Trump Campaign

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) set off the Russian collusion hoax in 2016 when U.S. intelligence officials recruited foreign governments to spy on Democrats’ American political opponents. On Tuesday, Substack publications Public and Racket revealed new details about the origins of the Spygate hoax the U.S. federal government perpetrated on the Donald Trump presidential campaign.

“Multiple credible sources tell Public and Racket that the United States Intelligence Community (IC), including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), illegally mobilized foreign intelligence agencies to target Trump advisors long before the summer of 2016,” the publications reported. “The US [intelligence community] asked the ‘Five Eyes’ intelligence alliance to surveil Trump’s associates and share the intelligence they acquired with US agencies, say sources close to a House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HSPCI) investigation.”

The “Five Eyes” alliance refers to the global intelligence apparatus that includes the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

“After Public and Racket had been told that President Barack Obama’s CIA Director, John Brennan, had identified 26 Trump associates for the Five Eyes to target, a source confirmed that the [intelligence community] had ‘identified [them] as people to “bump,” or make contact with or manipulate. They were targets of our own IC and law enforcement — targets for collection and misinformation,’” the Substacks reported. “Unknown details about the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign and raw intelligence related to the IC’s surveillance of the Trump campaign are in a 10-inch binder that Trump ordered to be declassified at the very end of his term, sources told Public and Racket.”

“If the top-secret documents exist proving these charges, they are potentially proof that multiple US intelligence officials broke laws against spying and election interference.” (Read more from “Report: CIA Started Russia Collusion Hoax By Asking Foreign Governments To Spy On Trump Campaign” HERE)

Former CIA Employee Sentenced to 40 Years Behind Bars for Largest Data Leak in Agency’s History

A former CIA employee has been sentenced to 40 years behind bars after executing the largest data leak in the agency’s history. The employee worked for the CIA from 2012 to 2016 as a software engineer in the Center for Cyber Intelligence, according to a report released by the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of New York.

Joshua Schulte, 35, was previously accused of releasing classified data to Wikileaks in 2016 and was subsequently convicted in 2022 of illegally gathering and transmitting national defense information and obstructing a criminal investigation and grand jury proceeding.

USA Today reported that Schulte was convicted of espionage, child pornography, computer hacking, contempt of court, and making false statements to the FBI in separate trials. Schulte’s sentencing took place in New York federal court after three trials that concluded on March 9, 2020, July 13, 2022, and September 12, 2023, according to federal records.

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said, “Joshua Schulte betrayed his country by committing some of the most brazen, heinous crimes of espionage in American history.”

“He caused untold damage to our national security in his quest for revenge against the CIA for its response to Schulte’s security breaches while employed there,” Williams continued.

Ex-CIA Analyst Describes ‘Fundamental Change’ Taking Place in the Agency Due to Policies ‘Implemented by Obama’

Former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst Dr. John Gentry detailed Tuesday the “fundamental change” taking place at the agency due to former Obama-era policies.

Gentry appeared on “Jesse Watters Primetime” to discuss the difference he sees within the agency now compared to when he was working. Fox Host Jesse Watters asked the former analyst to describe “how the agency uses DEI” to deceive the public.

Gentry stated the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies implemented by former President Barack Obama in 2011 have been “accelerated” by the Biden administration to “hire people” based on personal common interests.

“Well, it’s using DEI policies, particularly that implemented by President Obama in 2011. And again, accelerated really in the Biden years, to hire people who, as you say, are more likely to be interested in the kinds of policies that you’re talking about,” Gentry stated.

“What they’ve done also is make a conscious effort to change the organizational culture of the CIA. John Brennan was mentioned in the video you just showed — he said explicitly in his book that he intended to change the organizational culture.” (Read more from “Ex-CIA Analyst Describes ‘Fundamental Change’ Taking Place in the Agency Due to Policies ‘Implemented by Obama'” HERE)

CIA Sued Over COVID-19 Cover-up

The Oversight Project, a government watchdog affiliated with the Heritage Foundation, has taken legal action against the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit. The lawsuit aims to force the CIA to disclose records related to its investigation into the origins of COVID-19, following allegations from a whistleblower that analysts were offered financial incentives to alter their conclusions about the virus’s origin.

The Oversight Project initiated its pursuit of CIA records after a whistleblower testified before Congress, claiming that members of the CIA’s COVID Discovery Team were provided monetary incentives to change their stance on the origins of the pandemic.

While the Energy Department and the FBI pointed to a potential lab leak in Wuhan, China, as the likely source, five other agencies suggested a natural transmission or transmission from animals through a wet market. Amidst these conflicting narratives, House investigators in September revealed that a senior-level CIA officer alleged that the agency had offered financial inducements to COVID investigators to alter their conclusions.

Representatives Brad Wenstrup and Mike Turner, chairs of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic and Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, asserted that, according to the whistleblower, a majority of the COVID Discovery Team members believed the evidence supported the assessment that COVID-19 originated in a Wuhan laboratory.

Oversight Project Chief Counsel Kyle Brosnan expressed concern over the lack of transparency from both the CIA and the Biden administration. Brosnan stated, “A CIA whistleblower has made serious allegations that the agency bought off employees to further obstruct efforts to get to the truth of the virus’s origins. This obstruction cannot stand, and we’re fighting in federal court to get to the bottom of this.”

Meet the Senior CIA Official Caught Posting Pro-Palestinian Content on Social Media

The top CIA official who changed her social media cover photo to a pro-Palestinian image two weeks after the Hamas terrorist organization carried out attacks on Israel is Associate Deputy Director for Analysis Amy McFadden, the Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.

The original Oct. 21 photo of a man waving a Palestinian flag — often used in articles critical of Israel — is no longer publicly visible on the official’s social media, as the official, the associate deputy director for analysis at the CIA, changed the image after the Financial Times reached out Monday, the outlet reported. The DCNF identified the official as Amy McFadden, who has served in the CIA Directorate of Analysis front office since 2020, according to her LinkedIn profile.

McFadden worked in the CIA’s Counterterrorism center, was deputy in the Office of North African, Arabian Peninsula, and Regional Analysis and later was director of the President’s Daily Brief, according to her biography.

“The officer is a career analyst with extensive background in all aspects of the Middle East and this post [of the Palestinian flag] was not intended to express a position on the conflict,” a person familiar with the situation told the FT. The person added that the official also posted Facebook posts opposing antisemitism.

The official previously oversaw the assembly of the President’s Daily Briefing and is jointly responsible for managing all analysis distributed within the CIA, the FT reported. (Read more from “Meet the Senior CIA Official Caught Posting Pro-Palestinian Content on Social Media” HERE)

Disgraced CIA Director Calls for Senator Tuberville’s Assassination

Former CIA Director Michael Hayden on Monday suggested that Sen. Tommy Tuberville be removed from the “human race” over his blockade of military confirmations.

The shocking suggestion from the retired US intelligence official came in response to a question from a user on the social media platform X, who asked if Tuberville (R-Ala.) should be “removed from his committee.”

“How about the human race?” Hayden replied.

Some on social media accused the former top CIA official of calling for Tuberville’s “assassination.”

“Former CIA Director Michael Hayden calls for the assassination of Sen. Tuberville because the senator is performing desperately needed oversight of the U.S. Military,” Mollie Hemingway, editor in chief of the Federalist, said in a tweet.

CIA Gave Financial Rewards to Six Analysts Who Covered up Lab Leak Investigation, Whistleblower Alleges

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) gave six analysts financial rewards for changing their position on the lab leak coronavirus origin theory, according to whistleblower testimony released by House investigators.

The House Oversight Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic wrote letters Tuesday to CIA Director William Burns and former CIA Chief Operating Officer Andrew Makridis outlining whistleblower testimony accusing the CIA of giving monetary incentives to six agents on its Covid Discovery Team to change their position on the lab leak hypothesis. According to the lawmakers, the whistleblower is a “multi-decade, senior-level, current Agency officer.”

“According to the whistleblower, the Agency assigned seven officers to a COVID Discovery Team (Team). The Team consisted of multi-disciplinary and experienced officers with significant scientific expertise. According to the whistleblower, at the end of its review, six of the seven members of the Team believed the intelligence and science were sufficient to make a low confidence assessment that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China,” the letter to Burns reads.
