Now we know that the CIA conspired with former acting director Mike Morell and the Biden campaign to produce a letter falsely claiming that emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop were Russian disinformation — and solicited signatures from at least one former intelligence official.

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.

Despite their best efforts, with the help of the FBI, Big Tech and a complicit media, to bury it, here was The Post with the story on its front page three weeks before the election.

The letter was a domestic disinformation operation by the CIA to deceive the American people and help Joe Biden win the 2020 election. 

No surprise that last week, Democrats on the committees ran interference for the 51 deceitful spooks, issuing a dissenting statement to combat the majority report. 

Every sentence is false or misleading so here goes a partial fact-check:

Every one of those 51 intelligence officials knew the laptop was real and was not Russian disinformation.

Brennan and others in the CIA must also have known about Hunter’s risky behavior overseas while his father was VP.

They surely knew the FBI had had his laptop since December 2019. 

Joe Biden knew, too

Not just the 51, but Joe Biden knew he was lying to the American public. He knew it was his son’s laptop and he knew The Post was reporting the truth.

That’s why he went into hiding the day we published and sent out his campaign spokespeople to lie on his behalf.

On the morning of Oct. 19, 2020, while Morell was gathering signatures, and while the CIA was vetting the letter, then-Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe made a public declaration that The Post’s story was not Russian disinformation. 

He rebuked Adam Schiff, then- chair of the House Intelligence Committee, who had been all over the media for days claiming that the intelligence community believes that Hunter Biden’s laptop is a Kremlin plot.

“Let me be clear,” Ratcliffe said. “The intelligence community doesn’t believe that because there’s no intelligence that supports that.”

Within 24 hours the Department of Justice and the FBI confirmed his declaration. 

The next day Morell wrote an email to his co-signatories to congratulate them for successfully getting the letter published. 

“I just want to thank everyone for signing the letter on the Hunter Biden emails,” he wrote. “I think this is the most important election since 1860 and 1864 when the very existence of the country was on the ballot. Now, it is our democracy and the Constitution that are on the ballot. We all, of course, took an oath to ‘preserve, protect, and defend’ the Constitution. I think all of you did that yesterday by signing this letter.” 

This was the most dangerous delusion of all.
