But there is much more to come from the House Intelligence and Judiciary committees on the origins of that "Dirty 51" letter cooked up by five former CIA directors and 46 fellow spooks to discredit The Post’s reporting on the laptop.
John Brennan, the Obama-era CIA chief, admitted to House investigators in a four-hour closed-door deposition last week that the letter was "political."
James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence, is slated to appear next week.
Brennan and Clapper also were involved in the Hillary Clinton campaign’s Russia hoax against Donald Trump and have lied to Congress previously without sanction, but it is unlikely the new breed of Republicans conducting these investigations will be as lenient as their predecessors.
Why does the letter matter? Because it was crucial to saving Biden’s skin to deny that he had met with his son Hunter’s Ukrainian paymaster Vadym Pozharskyi while he was VP, as The Post reported on Oct. 14, 2020, citing evidence from the laptop.
The Biden campaign knew that the laptop was a serious political liability.
