Summary
Former acting CIA director Michael Morell was recently asked under oath about the origins of the intel letter discrediting the Hunter Biden laptop story as possible Russian disinformation.
He testified under oath that a call from now-Secretary of State Antony Blinken “triggered” the creation of the letter, which was signed by 51 current and former members of the intelligence community.
When questioned further, he said, “one intent was to share our concern with the American people that the Russians were playing on this issue; and two, it was [to] help Vice President Biden.”
“I wanted [Biden] to win the election,” he testified, according to a letter sent to Blinken by House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner.
This isn’t the first time this ex-CIA boss has stirred up hot-button issues in the lead-up to a presidential election, according to John Solomon and Nick Givas’s reporting in Just the News. In 2012, he edited official talking points about the deadly 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack to remove references to al-Qaeda. And in the summer of 2016, he was one of the first major figures to publicly claim Trump was a Russian asset in a New York Times op-ed.
In this episode of Kash’s Corner, we also take a look at Sen. Chuck Grassley’s recent allegations that the FBI falsely labeled information as Russian disinformation “to bury it”—and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s seeking to prevent Trump from speaking about the evidence in his case.

| 0:27.2 | And I have many questions for you about this. |
| 0:30.5 | So this is a big thing. |
| 0:32.6 | A little bit. |
| 0:33.3 | I think we have to talk about Tucker Carlson leaving Fox. |
| 0:37.0 | We'll also talk about Senator Grassley, basically coming out and saying that it seems like |
| 0:43.4 | the FBI has been using this moniker of Russian disinformation to shield the Biden family. |
| 0:48.9 | And he hasn't provided any evidence yet, but he seems to have made good on everything |
| 0:53.4 | else he's said up to now. |
| 0:55.1 | Finally, a little bit on this, the Manhattan DA, Bragg, basically saying that he wants to |
| 1:01.6 | restrict some of the evidence from, you know, the Trump side of the lawsuit. So I don't know, |
| 1:07.0 | we got a lot. We got a bunch. And for a lot of it, it seems all roads would lead |
| 1:11.7 | back to Russiagate, but we'll get there. It does seem that way, doesn't it? Let's look at Tucker |
| 1:17.1 | Carlson. I mean, this is something everybody's been buzzing about for a few days now. You have |
| 1:21.7 | an interesting theory. Tell me about that. Well, look, I'm not on the inside. I don't have any inside narrative |
| 1:30.0 | or take, but I'll just give you my thoughts on it. These are facts. Whether they're coincidence |
| 1:35.5 | or not, we'll leave for the audience. But the fact remains that Paul Ryan is on the board |
| 1:40.0 | of Fox News Corp and one of the largest voices at Fox News Corp. |
| 1:45.0 | The CEO is Rupert Murdoch's son, Lachlan Murdoch. |
| 1:49.0 | And it's no surprise that those two individuals who are in charge of Fox News have a heavy dislike of President Trump. |
