Michael Morrell is a former acting CIA director under Obama and deputy director under Bush43. His claim to fame - up to now - was that he was the one who did the PDB for Bush on 9/11.

He's been busy since then, writing books and...ginning up election interference in the 2020 Presidential election:

washingtonexaminer.com - Hunter biden laptop letter recruitment email joe biden talking point trump debate

EXCLUSIVE - A recruitment email sent by Mike Morell, co-author of the infamous Hunter Biden laptop letter, wanted former intelligence officials to become signatories to help give Joe Biden a 'talking point' during a crucial presidential debate against Donald Trump.

That talking point? That the very REAL Hunter Biden laptop was "Russian Disinformation". Recall that there was a letter signed for 50-something "intelligence officials" all claiming that "the laptop has all the earmarks of Russian disinformation"...problem is, the letter itself and the effort behind it were the actual disinfo.

Morell's email explained that both he and Polymeropoulos believed Russia was involved in the Hunter Biden laptop stories and that Trump likely planned to attack Biden over the laptop revelations in the upcoming debate.

'We want to give the VP a talking point to use in response,' Morell wrote, the two sources confirmed to the Washington Examiner.


Sure, Jan.

Morell has previously testified that one of the reasons he helped put the letter together was to help Joe Biden "because I wanted him to win the election."

That's what the Deep State looks like, right there.
