The revelation comes after Morell, the former Obama CIA acting director, admitted that now-Secretary of State Antony Blinken \u201ctriggered\u201d him to write the October 2020 laptop letter.<\/p>\n<h3>The Recruitment Email<\/h3>\n<p>The recruitment email from Morell was sent to former intelligence officials and included the laptop letter co-authored by him and former senior CIA operations officer Marc Polymeropoulos as an attachment. The quoted language from the Morell email, sent on Oct. 18, 2020, was read to the Washington Examiner verbatim and identically by two independent sources who had access to the email.<\/p>\n<p>Morell&#8217;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. \u201cWe want to give the VP a talking point to use in response,\u201d Morell wrote, the two sources confirmed to the Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n<h3>The Laptop Letter<\/h3>\n<p>Fifty-one ex-intelligence officials signed the laptop letter, which was published on Oct. 19, 2020, three days before the debate, and contributed to the baseless narrative that the laptop stories were a product of Russian disinformation \u2014 a narrative seized upon by Biden\u2019s 2020 campaign and spread by some of the laptop letter signers. Biden referenced the letter during the debate after Trump brought up &#8220;the laptop from hell&#8221; and referenced Hunter Biden\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-laptop-letter-recruitment-email-wanted-to-give-joe-biden-a-debate-talking-point\/\" title=\"Email sought to provide Joe Biden with debate advantage through Hunter Biden's laptop.\">lucrative business dealings tied<\/a> to Ukraine and China.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are 50 former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fncs-carlson-if-youre-looking-for-election-rigging-look-no-further-than-media-treatment-of-hunter-biden-saga\/\" title=\"FNC's Carlson: 'If You're Looking for Election Rigging, Look No Further' Than Media Treatment of Hunter Biden Saga\">national intelligence folks<\/a> who said that what he\u2019s accusing me of is a Russian plan. They have said that this has all the characteristics \u2014 four, five former heads of the CIA, both parties, say what he\u2019s saying is a bunch of garbage,\u201d Joe Biden said. Trump replied, \u201cYou mean the laptop is now another Russia, Russia, Russia hoax?\u201d Joe Biden replied: \u201cThat\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re told.\u201d Trump lamented, \u201cHere we go again with Russia.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The Aftermath<\/h3>\n<p>Last month it was revealed Morell told House investigators he had no intention to write the laptop letter, but admitted his phone call with Blinken, then a top advisor for Biden&#8217;s 2020 campaign, \u201ctriggered&#8221; him to do so. Morell said it was his \u201cguess\u201d Blinken called him because the future secretary of state wanted it \u201cout\u201d in public that \u201cthe Russians were somehow involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then-Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe argued in October 2020 that there was \u201cno intelligence\u201d to support that the laptop was part of a Russian disinformation campaign.
