A video that Hillary Clinton tweeted on October 31st, 2020, shows Ms. Clinton giving a 2016 speech in Ohio that accused Donald Trump of being a Russian asset. During her address, Clinton cited former CIA Acting Director Michael Morell’s assessment at the time that Vladimir Putin was manipulating Trump.
In a speech in Ohio that took place just days before the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton said, “Michael Morell, who ran the CIA and grew up just a few miles from here, says Putin is manipulating Donald to make Donald the Kremlin puppet and it seems to be working. Donald has singled to Putin he will let Russia do whatever it wants…. And it gets worse the U.S. intelligence community has confirmed that Russia is directing cyber attacks in the United States to influence our election.”
Flashback to October 2016 when Hillary Clinton said former CIA Acting Director Michael Morell believes that Donald Trump is colluding with Russia. In 2020, Morell helped write the debunked letter stating Hunter Biden's laptop is Russian disinformation.

National File previously reported on an April 2023 interview where Freedom Caucus Rep. Matt Gaetz said that Mike Morell played a major role in crafting the intel letter that falsely stated that Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation.
“So people know who Mike Morell is former Deputy Director of the CIA, former Acting Director of the CIA,” Gaetz explained in the interview.
“[Morell] wanted to be Joe Biden’s CIA Director, got a phone call from Tony Blinken who was representing the Biden campaign saying ‘Gee Mike doesn’t this Hunter Biden laptop look like Russian disinformation?’ Morell testifies that it triggers him to be the ring leader of an enterprise to put together a letter for the specific purpose of use of Joe Biden in the presidential debate,” Gaetz said.

On October 19, 2020, 51 former U.S. intelligence officials signed a letter saying Hunter Biden’s emails on his recovered laptop were part of a “Russian information operation.”

Morell and the rest of the Deep State actors used the same playbook in 2020 as in 2016 that goes by the overall false theme that “Russia will do whatever it takes to get Donald Trump elected President of the United States.” Many suspect the Deep State will use the same playbook against Trump again in 2024.
