Ex-CIA agent in laptop coverup outed

One of the many former intelligence officials who signed the now-infamous 2020 letter suggesting that the Hunter Biden laptop story was probably “Russian disinformation” is back in the news this week. Former CIA counterintelligence analyst Nada Bakos had signed the letter and later provided testimony on these events. But there was one thing she forgot to mention during all of this. At the same time the FBI was feeding information to the major social media platforms suggesting that the laptop story was fake (even though they already had the laptop in their possession and had confirmed it to be real) Bakos was lining up a job at Twitter and shifted over there to work on the Trust and Safety committee. And in a corporate email that was just released, she warned her colleagues about her picture appearing in the Post and disclosed that she was locking all of her accounts and keeping her employment secret.

A former CIA agent who signed the October 2020 open letter that dismissed The Post’s bombshell reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop emails as Russian disinformation worked on policy enforcement at Twitter as recently as last year and did not disclose her role to Congress, new “Twitter Files” reporting shows.

Nada Bakos alerted her senior policy team — including now-former Twitter head of trust and safety Yoel Roth — that her photograph was one of 20 on The Post’s March 19, 2022, cover highlighting 51 former intelligence officials who cast doubt on the authenticity of the laptop, according to an email sent the same day and obtained by Substack journalist Texas Lindsay.

“Hi All – I wanted to make you aware of the NYPost cover that I was ‘featured’ on related to the Oct 2020 story about Hunter Biden’s emails when he was on the Board of the Ukrainian Gas company, Burisma and a letter signed by 100s of former IC officials,”

Shortly after sending that email to her Twitter colleagues, Bakos switched her LinkedIn account to private and locked her profile on Twitter. She told her coworkers that she “didn’t want this to come as a surprise” when they learned of her involvement in the letter discrediting the laptop story.

All through the 2016 and 2020 campaigns, isn’t it remarkable how many people seemed to be moving back and forth between the FBI, the CIA, Twitter, and the other social media platforms? It must be wonderful to have that sort of career mobility and almost limitless opportunities. All snark aside, it’s long been obvious what was going on in the later stages of the 2020 election. The CIA and the FBI were both in on these deceptions and that includes Bakos.

Her former boss at the CIA, Michael Morell, had been pushed to help write the letter by Antony Blinken, who was then a senior adviser on the Biden campaign. (And who was later rewarded for all of this “service” with a job as the Secretary of State.) Bakos helped Morell write the letter and she signed it. All the while she knew that the laptop was real. Or if she didn’t know, she was too stupid to be working for our intelligence community.

This was election interference, plain and simple. Biden’s people were desperate to not let any damaging news about the boss leak out so close to what was anticipated to be an extremely tight election. So they worked with insiders at the FBI and CIA to knowingly push out false information and wound up getting the Post censored on social media. The public was deprived of that information and the mission was accomplished.

Everyone involved in this operation has dirty hands and that corruption has spread to the highest levels of the intelligence community and the government. And absolutely no one has been held accountable for any of this. In fact, many of them were actually rewarded. Biden became President, and Blinken got a spot fourth in line to the presidency. Many of the letter’s signatories are now paid contributors at CNN, MSNBC, and other news outlets. And there’s apparently nothing that can be done about it, at least until the next President takes office. But even then, the scoundrels who have already made it out the door will likely remain untouchable.
