Ex intel chief explained in email to John Brennan purpose of bogus laptop 'disinformation' letter

We now know the infamous letter signed by more than 50 former intelligence community officials saying that stories about Hunter Biden’s laptop and its contents were likely part of a Russian disinformation campaign was completely bogus. However, the letter was enough of an excuse for social media platforms to censor anybody who reported or discussed the laptop story in the weeks leading up to the 2020 presidential election.

Now proof has been spotted as to the entire reason the letter was created and circulated for signatures from intelligence “experts:

Of course John Brennan was more than happy to sign on. Nothing to see here:

Former acting CIA director Michael Morell told fellow former CIA boss John Brennan in an Oct. 19, 2020, email – obtained by Just the News – that he was attempting to give Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign some ammunition to “push back on Trump” during the debate as he urged Brennan to sign on to the letter calling Hunter Biden’s laptop a possible Russian disinformation operation.

“Can I add your name to this list?” Morell asks Brennan in the email.

“Trying to give the campaign, particularly during the debate on [Oct. 22, 2020], a talking point to push back on Trump on this issue,” Morell explains, admitting the letter is to help Biden during his showdown with Trump.

To which, Brennan responded: “Ok, Michael, add my name to the list. Good initiative. Thanks for asking me to sign on.”
