John Brennan's closed-door hearing 'confirmed' Hunter laptop letter was 'all political': Jim Jordan

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told Fox News the testimony his panel heard in private from Obama-era CIA Director John Brennan "confirmed" the letter signed by 51 current and former intel officials was not on-the-level.

"[Brennan] sat for a four-hour interview and he further confirmed that this thing was all political," Jordan said on "Jesse Watters Primetime."

Jordan recounted his allegation that then-Biden campaign adviser Antony Blinken was the "impetus" behind the letter, which he said was organized in-part by former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell, who testified before the Judiciary Committee earlier in May.

He also took issue with reaction from a member of his committee, Rep. Daniel Goldman, D-N.Y.

Goldman told the press following the hearing that what people saw from Brennan is "exactly what we hope for in our public servants."

Goldman, who previously served as lead impeachment counsel during the first investigatory iteration against then-President Trump, claimed such hearings are an "infringement on the First Amendment that this investigation is going on — [Brennan] was a private citizen when he wrote this letter."

Jordan said Goldman seemingly ignored how the officials who signed the letter saying the laptop appeared to have earmarks of a "Russian information operation" did so with their government titles listed below their names.

 Top Intel Officer Blows up Claims of Biden Allies as Brennan’s Testimony Confirms Laptop Letter Was Political
Nick Arama

A former top intel officer has just blown up any argument that the 51 former intelligence officials might have argued for signing the intel letter claiming that the Hunter Biden laptop might be Russian disinformation.

Former National Intelligence Officer for Cyber Chris Porter said that claims from Biden’s supporters “did not reflect” the actual intelligence. He said the CIA had no evidence to support any such claim.

    “As the intelligence officer in charge of U.S. intelligence community analysis of foreign threats to U.S. elections in 2020, I was concerned at the time about this letter because it did not reflect our understanding of the threat,” Porter told Fox News Digital. “Yes, it looked like the kind of thing Moscow might do, but as our unclassified report to the public later indicated, despite an extensive influence campaign there was no evidence this particular item was Russian disinformation.”

    “Any politically scandalous information from a nebulous source might be consistent with their sponsorship, but that doesn’t make it appropriate for senior officials to throw their weight into domestic politics by insinuation without clear and compelling evidence,” he added.

So nothing to support it and not appropriate to do it without clear and compelling evidence. Yet, they did it anyway and it may have changed the election.
