NEW: Head Of Blue-Ribbon Covid Commission Has History Of Praising China, Criticizing U.S.

Economist Jeffrey Sachs is head of Lancet's commission investigating origins of the virus. Peter Daszak, who worked on the WHO's Wuhan team, is also on commission. dailycaller.com/2021/02/18/jef…
Sachs has met with WHO and UN as chairman of the Lancet Covid-19 Commission.

In September, he called the Wuhan lab leak theory "dangerous."

He appears frequently on China's state-run networks to bash U.S, praise Beijing.
In 2018, he called U.S. “today’s greatest threat to the international rule of law” and “global peace.”

Last year: “The U.S. is a force for division, not for cooperation."
The kicker: Sachs was an economic adviser for China's economic planning commission in early 2000s.

He was also on the advisory board for China Energy Fund Committee, a think tank whose chairman was convicted for bribing African officials.

HUNTER Biden was a lawyer for the guy

NEW: Senior FBI agent quit Crossfire Hurricane team after FBI officials shut down his "enhanced validation review" of Christopher Steele.

This implicates Bill Priestap, who was chief of FBI counterintelligence.

dailycaller.com/2021/01/18/fbi…
Joesph Pientka told the Senate that he wanted to do an additional source review of Steele in November 2016. Word came down that it was tabled because Priestap was concerned about leaks.
This is one of several examples of Priestap stepping in to block info related to Steele. Others:

*Priestap told the IG that he agreed with the Brits not to disseminate derogatory info on Steele. Because of that, the FISA court was never told of concerns about Steele's judgement

NEW: Victoria Nuland, who Biden will reportedly pick for a top State Dept post, played key role peddling the Steele dossier.

She also gave inconsistent statements about her involvement. dailycaller.com/2021/01/05/vic…
Nuland told the Senate Intel Committee in 2018 that she was "not aware" of a meeting Chris Steele had at State Dept in Oct. 2016. But she also claimed she intentionally avoided taking part in that meeting.
Nuland said in an interview on CBS she deferred to the FBI on how to handle information from Steele that was given to State Department.

But, according to internal FBI emails, Nuland was reluctant to give FBI the information in late Sept. 2016.
