House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) has been trying to slag President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, for years now, and is so desperate that he’s now been busted fabricating “evidence” to make Hunter Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken look like they’re part of a conspiracy and cover-up.
Jordan used the Twitter account for the judiciary committee to send out a scurrilous allegation.
“#BREAKING: Testimony Reveals Secretary Blinken and the Biden Campaign Were Behind the Infamous Public Statement from Former Intel Officials on the Hunter Biden Laptop
“@Jim_Jordan and @RepMikeTurner reveal HUGE news here:”
But as Democrats on the committee point out, the unedited testimony clearly shows that Mike Morell testified he was never asked to write a letter about Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Here’s the testimony:
A spokesperson for Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee released a statement excoriating Jordan and his Republican cohorts.
To smear Secretary Blinken and sensationalize a three-year-old tabloid story, Jim Jordan has released cherry-picked excerpts of a transcribed interview. To be clear, no part of that interview demonstrates that Tony Blinken or any other Biden campaign official asked Mike Morell to write a letter about Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Mr. Morell is a former CIA Deputy Director and a highly decorated veteran of the intelligence community. For years, he has advised leaders of both parties—including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who awarded Mr. Morell a Director’s Award for distinguished service.
At no point during his interview did Mr. Morell testify that Secretary Blinken directed or asked him to write any letters. Instead, Mr. Morell testified that Mr. Blinken sought his advice, as many others have. In response to questions posed by Chairman Jordan’s own lawyers, he testified that Mr. Blinken did not “direct, suggest, or insinuate in any way” that he should write a letter about Hunter Biden’s laptop. Nor did Mr. Blinken—then a private citizen—try to get at the letter indirectly. Mr. Morell testified that Mr. Blinken did not hint that the Biden campaign “could use some help on this” or suggest that Mr. Morell should “cook up something” that the campaign should use.
Instead of focusing on issues that actually affect American families, Chairman Jordan is engaged in yet another political stunt. This time, he is using taxpayer resources to chase down the origins of a letter written by private citizens, expressing their private opinion, related to a story cooked up by Rudy Giuliani in the last few days of the Trump Administration.
Jim Jordan’s obsession with Hunter Biden and his repeated efforts to try and impugn the integrity of President Biden are failing, so now he’s resorting to lies. Could it be because he still hasn’t testified under oath about his actions on January 6, 2021?
