In the weeks before the 2020 election, 51 former intel officials coordinated with the Biden campaign to publish a statement to discredit @NYPost reporting about Hunter Biden’s laptop and the Biden family’s influence peddling.
🧵 Thread:
The statement was a blatant political operation from the start.
It originated with a 2020 Biden campaign official, now-Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
In May 2023, the Committees revealed that w/o Blinken reaching out, the Hunter Biden statement would not have been written.
In an explosive new report, the Committees have uncovered the extent to which the intelligence community was involved in the Hunter Biden statement.
CC: @Weaponization @HouseIntel
Key Finding #1
High-ranking CIA officials, up to and including then-CIA Director Gina Haspel, were made aware of the Hunter Biden statement prior its approval and publication.
Because fmr. senior intelligence officials signed the statement, the CIA’s Prepublication Classification Review Board [PCRB] sent the draft statement to then-CIA COO Andrew Makridis.
He said he subsequently informed then-Director Gina Haspel or then-Deputy Director Bishop.
Key Finding #2
Some of the 51, including Morell, were on CIA contract at the time of the statement’s publication—and CIA staff knew that.
They were likely earning a taxpayer-supported income, while politicizing intelligence to boost the Biden campaign.
That’s despite the fact that Morell himself believed it was “inappropriate for a currently serving staff officer or contractor to be involved in the political process.”
Key Finding #3
After publication of the Hunter Biden statement, CIA employees internally expressed frustration about the politicized statement’s content, acknowledging it was not “helpful to the Agency in the long run.”
CIA officials knew the statement was political—yet no one stopped it.
Morell, the chief architect, explicitly told other statement signers: “we think Trump will attack Biden on the issue at this week’s debate and we want to give the VP a talking point to use … ”
Former CIA COO Andrew Makridis expressed his own frustrations with the Hunter Biden statement in a transcribed interview before the Committees.
🚨 NEW REPORT: “Quiet Amnesty: How the Biden-Harris Administration Uses the Nation's Immigration Courts to Advance an Open-Borders Agenda”
This damning report details how Kamala Harris has exploited immigration court proceedings, allowing nearly 1 million illegal aliens to remain in the U.S. indefinitely.
Under “Border Czar” Kamala Harris, over 700,000 illegal aliens have had their cases dismissed, terminated, or administratively closed.
The pace of these actions has increased each year, allowing those aliens to stay in the country indefinitely without facing immigration consequences.
Kamala Harris has used the backlog as an excuse to allow even more aliens to remain in America.
Instead of adjudicating cases based on the merits of their claims—such as valid asylum requests—immigration judges have rubberstamped dismissals, terminations, and closures.
This quiet amnesty has become a hallmark of the Biden-Harris Administration's immigration courts.
🚨 #NEWS: @Jim_Jordan reveals non-public information on 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐆𝐋𝐄’s issues with Search and Autocomplete surrounding the assassination attempt of President Trump.
🧵 THREAD:
1. Google ADMITTED that after the July 13 assassination attempt on President Trump “predictions for queries about the assassination attempt against former President Trump” “should have appeared but didn’t.”
2. Google ADMITTED that Autocomplete was not showing President Trump’s name in response to searches for “President Donald” and similar terms.
Google claims “that this particular issue was caused by a bug” and has been fixed by a recent update.

GARM’S HARM: HOW THE WORLD’S BIGGEST BRANDS CONTROL ONLINE SPEECH
Corporations, ad agencies, and associations through the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) participated in coordinated actions to demonetize content disfavored by GARM and its members.
🧵 THREAD:
Formed by the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA) in 2019, GARM claims that it was created to drive transparency in policies to help companies achieve “brand safety,” and even for the goal of stopping offline harm.
However, GARM’s work has veered far from its claimed purpose.
GARM is powerful. Why?
WFA members combine for almost $1 trillion annually in global ad spend.
GARM includes every major ad agency holding company in its ranks, accounting for hundreds of ad agencies, and includes the world’s largest media buying agency in its leadership.
