… Patel then pointed out the bombshell that dropped just weeks ago. According to him, former CIA Director Gina Haspel “authorized six case officers and intelligence analysts to be paid off so that they would change their assessment on COVID originations.”
“That’s a CIA institutional decision to spend taxpayer dollars to lie to the world where COVID came from because it fit the narrative that Fauci and the media wanted out there, along with Gina Haspel, because she didn’t want Donald Trump to get the credit for reading the intel right and making the hard right decision,” he said.
That accusation tracks with years of bureaucratic sabotage aimed at undermining Trump, especially on issues where he refused to bow to elite groupthink. According to Patel’s findings, the CIA took extraordinary measures to conceal the truth. The agency used public money to manipulate analysts, rewrite assessments, and bury an origin story that threatened the political storyline the left had banked everything on. Trump was right about China. Fauci was wrong. The media was wrong. And the bureaucracy moved heaven and earth to keep that reality under wraps.
