Jeff Childers ( I know most of you subscribe and even if not it’s free 6 days a week…but just about every day he comes up with some profound analysis ) So I post it here for further discussion if there is intrerest

Personally I think this is a HUGE development to look forward to during Trump 2.0

This morning, the Wall Street Journal ran an “Exclusive” headlined “Behind Closed Doors: The Spy World Scientists Who Argued Covid Was a Lab Leak.” The long-form, multimedia-rich story had all the hallmarks of a deep-state limited hangout.

Never forget that even asking the question about covid’s Wuhan laboratory origins was disinformation that could get you canceled off social media and maybe even fired from your job. Heaven help you if you forwarded a lab-leak meme or something.

But today, the Wall Street Journal ran a deep dive supporting the agencies and scientists who believed in the lab leak. The article (gently) criticized the Biden Administration for ignoring the alternative theory. Why? We cannot know, but my guess is it has something to do with this paragraph:

Call me cynical, but I think the deep state expects a stinker of a report from the Inspector General soon, and so we get this anonymously sourced limited hangout.

The article provides an enormous amount of insider detail. FBI microbiologist Richard Bannan waited for a car that never came to take him to a White House briefing. Three Defense Intelligence Agency scientists wrote a classified internal memo that was excluded from the agency’s final report, and were told to stop working with the FBI. We learned about an argument between FBI bioterror scientists and National Intelligence Council agents over including a chart comparing covid to prior animal-to-human pandemics.

How did the Wall Street Journal learn about all these insider details? Why were are all these spooks from many different agencies allowed to talk to reporters? Why now? The Journal never quoted any of the many named agency scientists, not directly. It only generically cited, over and over, unnamed “people familiar with the matter.”

One cannot help but suspect that, with a new Trump Administration poised to take control of the intelligence agencies, especially the FBI, up to several levels deep, and with an IG report poised to appear, some people in those agencies may have concluded it was time to start the damage control.

Why is this dusty old argument important? If the Trump Administration formally concludes what is now painfully obvious, that the most destructive virus in human history negligently emerged from a Chinese lab, then the next natural question will be who is responsible? At that point, the Chinese will surely start pointing their fingers, too, and upon whom will all those fingers of blame ultimately land
