Nada Bakos, a former CIA counterintelligence analyst, has been thrust back into the limelight.
Bakos was one of the many ex-intelligence officials who endorsed the controversial 2020 letter that dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop story as likely “Russian disinformation.” However, recent developments brought her actions under scrutiny.
Bakos’ involvement in this saga is not limited to her endorsement of the letter.
As it turns out, while the FBI suggested to major social media platforms that the laptop story was a hoax (despite having the laptop and confirming its authenticity), Bakos was securing a position at Twitter.
She joined the Trust and Safety committee, a move she kept under wraps during her testimonies on these events.

The former CIA agent’s secretive maneuvers didn’t stop there. In a recently disclosed corporate email, Bakos warned her colleagues about her photo appearing in the Post.
She also revealed she was locking all her accounts and keeping her employment at Twitter a secret. This move raises questions about transparency and the potential conflict of interest, given her previous intelligence role and new position at a major social media platform.
Bakos’ actions were not isolated. During the 2016 and 2020 campaigns, there seemed to be a revolving door between the FBI, the CIA, Twitter, and other social media platforms.
This career mobility among these entities raises eyebrows and questions about their roles in shaping public opinion during crucial election periods.
The plot thickens when we consider Bakos’ relationship with her former boss at the CIA, Michael Morell. Morell was reportedly urged by Antony Blinken, then a senior adviser on the Biden campaign, to help draft the infamous letter.
Bakos assisted Morell in writing the letter and signed it herself, despite knowing the laptop’s authenticity or being ignorant of it, which would question her competence as an intelligence official.

This entire episode reeks of election interference.
It appears Biden’s team, desperate to prevent any damaging news from leaking close to a tightly contested election, colluded with insiders at the FBI and CIA. They knowingly disseminated false information, leading to the Post being censored on social media.
The public was deprived of crucial information and those involved seemingly achieved their mission.
The corruption seems to have permeated the highest levels of the intelligence community and the government. Yet, no one has been held accountable. Instead, many of those involved have been rewarded.
Biden became president. Blinken secured a high-ranking position and many signatories of the letter now enjoy lucrative roles at various news outlets.
This scandal serves as a stark reminder of the need for transparency and accountability in our institutions.
