House Select Committee Be Pissed: Paragraphs below are from the first 1-1/2 pages of the (22 page) report, this release this report is NOT completely about COVID 19 origins,it’s a shot across the bow to the IC community, it seems like a serious warning and to condemn the IC community at every angle. The accusations to the IC community are constant and numerous, examples below:
Part I:
• The COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc across the country, with almost every household feeling its effects…. The United States’ death toll from this virus has surpassed one million people. Although concrete data is hard to lock down, millions of Americans are suffering from the long-term …This unclassified report attempts to add to the discourse of COVID-19 origins with the understanding that information held by theUnited States Intelligence Community (IC)that has yet to be shared with this Committee could be..
• …the scientific community now largely accepts as feasible that the COVID-19 pandemic may have emerged
from a lab-related…Since the People’s Republic of China has not…information,the ICis uniquely situated to provide relevant information. However, the IC has
thus far failed to inform the public and failed to keep its Congressional oversight committees
fully informed about what it knows. The IC owes the American people greater transparency…
• Based on our investigation involving a variety of public and non-public information, we
conclude that there are indications that SARS-CoV-2 may have been tied to China’s biological weapons…The IChas failed to adequately address this information.
• Omissions in the IC’s declassified version of its Updated Assessment on COVID-19 Origins (Updated Assessment) were misleading on key issues. One of the IC’s three primary tasks in its 90-day assessment of the virus’s origins…. The declassified report claimed __the IC__was able to reach “broad agreement” that the virus was not developed as a biological weapon. Despite the fact __the IC__relayed its confidence levels for nearly every other assessment in the declassified report – low
confidence, moderate confidence, etc. –
….the ICfailed to disclose to the public its confidence level regarding this bioweapons assessment
•The IC’sdeclassified version also withheld other key information from the public that was in the classified version. The Committee believes that this vital information could have been included in the declassified version…The IC should be transparent regarding what it does or does not know…
• In addition to the problems with theIC’s declassifiedversion of the Updated Assessment, the classified version provided to Congress omits additional vital information and dismisses important intelligence…. __The IC also failed to correct claims in the classified Updated Assessment
•The IChas failed to comply with numerous requests for more information on these issues. The Committee will continue to press the IC to share the information it has and to explain why information was omitted from the declassified and classified reports.
• Members will seek to declassify the full classified version of our investigative report on this matter. Regardless,the IC should, on its own, declassify and release to the public….
