When Blinken called Morell to express concerns about the Hunter Biden laptop story, did Blinken explicitly need to tell Morell to cook up the letter? Of course not. Morell is a longtime intelligence operative. He knows what to do without being told.
When Morell then rounded up 50 signatures for the letter, did he explicitly need to remind those former security state operatives that their continued access and career opportunities depended on staying in the good graces of a future Biden administration? Of course not. They know that without being told.
When the letter was then fed to the media, did the NYT and WashPost reporters explicitly need to be told to emphasize the parts claiming “Russian disinformation” and downplaying the CYA language where the signatories admit they have no evidence? Of course not. The media knows what to do without being told.
This is how the game is played. All it took was a phone call from Blinken.
