The newest selection for the Afghanistan War Commission is an MSNBC pundit who was among those who signed a letter in October 2020 claiming without evidence that the Hunter Biden laptop story was part of a Russian operation.
The Democratic chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, Washington Rep. Adam Smith, announced he had picked Jeremy Bash for the Afghanistan investigation Friday, with the biography for Bash noting he served as chief of staff at the Pentagon and chief of staff at the CIA during the Obama administration. Former CIA Director Leon Panetta, for whom Bash worked, also signed the letter.
Joe Biden was referring to a Politico report about the letter in an article titled “Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say.” The title was misleading because the letter never directly called it Russian “disinformation.”The letter hedged a bit at various times, noting, “We do not have evidence of Russian involvement.” But, it said, “our experience makes us deeply suspicious that the Russian government played a significant role in this case.
David Buckley, who was formerly the CIA inspector general and also signed the infamous laptop letter, is now the staff director for the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
