FBI Concluded Covid Pandemic Started with Lab Leak, But Didn’t Tell Biden
Three scientists at the National Center for Medical Intelligence concluded that Covid-19 was manipulated in a laboratory as well. This determination was also omitted from the 2021 assessment on pandemic origins.
An exclusive report from The Wall Street Journal shared some startling new information about the intelligence community’s research on the origins of the COVID pandemic.
The analysis also indicated that some of the most important information related to lab leak origins was suppressed despite the arguments making more logical sense than the animal-origin theory pushed by “experts.”
The WSJ expose focused on Jason Bannan, a Senior Scientist in the Forensic Response Section of the FBI Laboratory. He has expertise in microbiology that would be essential in the agency’s investigations into the origins of COVID-19 and the possibility that the gain of function research conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology generated the novel coronavirus.
He anticipated his findings would be part of a report given to Biden, who had ordered an urgent assessment by the U.S. intelligence agencies and national laboratories to determine the pandemic origins seriously. The report was issued in 2021.
It turns out that Bannan would not be allowed to give his assessment to White House representatives, which was interesting because the FBI was the “only agency that concluded a lab leak was likely.”
“Being the only agency that assessed that a laboratory origin was more likely, and the agency that expressed the highest level of confidence in its analysis of the source of the pandemic, we anticipated the FBI would be asked to attend the briefing,” Bannan recalled in his first on-the-record interview on the subject. “I find it surprising that the White House didn’t ask.”
A spokeswoman for the Director of National Intelligence’s office said that it wasn’t standard practice to invite representatives from individual agencies to briefings for the president and that divergent views within the intelligence community were fairly represented.
…But an investigation by The Wall Street Journal shows that the disagreements among intelligence experts over what should be included in the report ran deeper than is publicly known. Nor were the FBI scientists the only ones who believed that the intelligence directorate’s review didn’t tell the whole story.
Three scientists at the National Center for Medical Intelligence, part of the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency, conducted a scientific study that concluded that Covid-19 was manipulated in a laboratory in a risky research effort. But that analysis was at odds with the assessment of their parent agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and wasn’t incorporated in the report presented to Biden.
Massive revelation in the WSJ report on the cover-up of COVID's origins:
Three scientists from the National Center for Medical Intelligence found evidence of "gain of function" research. The Biden admin buried it, and then Fauci spent years lying about it.
Rand Paul was right.

In fact, the three scientists at the National Center for Medical Intelligence based their conclusion on the genetic sequence for a spike protein sequence they determined the scientists in Wuhan could create…based on a paper published in 2008 by the Chinese.
John Hardham, Robert Cutlip and Jean-Paul Chretien conducted a genomic analysis that concluded that a segment of the “spike protein” that enables the virus to gain entry into human cells was constructed using techniques developed in the Wuhan lab that were described in a 2008 Chinese scientific paper.
This position contrasted with the view of the DIA, however.
More than three years on since the review was published, the debate about the origins of Covid is still highly politicised and continues among US agencies and departments, and in Congress where witnesses are being hauled in to give evidence.
It turns out that the information about the spike protein was suppressed by superior officers within the agency, and the scientists were asked not to brief their FBI counterparts.
Information about the possible spike protein manipulation, however, was suppressed by superior officers at the National Center for Medical Intelligence, and the Defense Intelligence Agency disagreed with the premise that the virus could have originated in the lab.
The medical intelligence scientists were also instructed by superiors not to brief their counterparts at the FBI on their findings, and their recommended edits were not included in the national security report commissioned by Biden.
… Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has promised to pick up where the House investigation left off and said he plans to use his new chairmanship of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to delve deeper into what happened at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and what occurred behind closed doors within federal public health agencies.
President-elect Donald Trump and his nominee for health and human services secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., are also expected to take action prohibiting or severely limiting U.S. funding for gain-of-function research relatively quickly within the new administration.
The WSJ report is chilling if for no other reason, it is essential to identify why the pandemic occurred so that something similar can be prevented.
Those responsible for the stonewalling and obfuscation must be held accountable, and it must be determined why this information was suppressed:
Were they bought off from China?
Were they simply hiding information that would help Trump or hurt their superiors?
Or were there other nefarious reasons? Hopefully, Paul’s investigation and a change in agency leadership will help the free flow of reliable information.

The last week of March 2020, NPR ran a one hour series every day for the week with in depth reporting and scientific analysis on why a lab leak was nearly impossible.
Of course NPR omitted any mention of the long history of lab leaks.
Not surprising that every leftist believed the “company story”
So what? Traitor Joe didn’t care about where the Wuhan virus came from. He was too busy trying to claim that he was the one who brought the faux-vaccine to America and forcing everyone to take part in that extremely dangerous medical experiment long after the serious threat from the Wuhan virus was in the past. By the tie Traitor Joe got in, the pandemic was done, but Biden wanted to pretend that it was still a threat as grave as the Black Death and to force people to do all sorts of insane things.
Biden can’t remember if they told him or not.
The problem is that the FBI’s duty is provide information to the Office Of The President, regardless of which Bozo occupies that office. It is not within their prerogative to decide what is to be done with the information they gather. They are investigators, not decision makers. You don’t let the drug dog decide who gets prosecuted for possession.
We have seen this unauthorized assumption of authority several times in recent years, with the Hunter Biden Laptop and Comey’s decision not to prosecute Hillary Clinton.
Given that a Lab leak is the only COVID origin theory with any evidence to support it, the fact that the FBI was the only Government agency to support it is very disturbing.
yes – pretty common knowledge that all the other agencies knew but were active in trying to hide it
Pretty much and the new administration should find out who suppressed the information. Immediate firings of all involved.
Lawrence Livermore labs supported the lab leak origin, and they are the only lab in the country specifically charged with determining the origin of new pathogens.
Right. The “intelligence” community either got it entirely wrong… or lied about it.
Nothing short of a good cleansing fire will ever cure this incompetence / misbehavior.
Torches will be de rigueur. The pitchforks will be for those who attempt to break quarantine confinement.
Lied. The question is why did they lie and who directed everyone to do that. The “following orders” thing won’t work here, all need to be terminated and barred from ever holding another government position”
Just how deeply compromised is our entire intelligence community? Including the State Department.
I tend to believe a more nefarious explanation. What if the entire C-19 leak in Wuhan was orchestrated from start to finish by our own Deep State to stop Trump’s reelection? What if the NGO program officers funding the Wuhan scientists for Fauci told their minions to leak the virus “to see what happens”? And what if the CCP knows this, and has solid evidence like recordings of conversations? (And what if our own NSA has it too, since they record everything?) CYA is the #1 instinct of bureaucrats, and they would have a lot of butts to cover in this case. They would be directly responsible for causing a global pandemic. And if the CCP has proof they did it, like recordings of conversations with the Wuhan scientists, the CCP has the ultimate blackmail power over the US Deep State, the entire Elite class in the US, and the whole Democratic Party. If that proof was ever released, it could bring them all down. Just imagine the public reaction against the Democrats and all the Educated Elites – the public would want these people swinging from ropes. What the Chinese did to the Confucian Scholars 5000 years ago would not be unthinkable here in the US. And the Democrats would be utterly incinerated in the following election.
I think WuFlu was a joint program between the CIA and the CCP, funded by the CIA and refined/perfected off of our shores to keep the appearance of clean hands.
The upcoming betrayals ought to be interesting.
Mew Cat, I have always thought the same. Everything adds up, cause chaos, blame Trump, hide decrepit Joe and rig the election. Look to Obama and his election lawyers for the bones of the coup and Fauci etal for the meat on the bones. Throw in a pre arranged
“Miracle vaccine “ to stir the pot of fear and deception and you had a perfect storm .
Loathsome pieces of garbage, all!
As The Fonz would say, exactamundo.
This shows us some important things.
1) There are too many intel agencies. Of course there’s going to be infighting over an important assessment like this. And the good of the nation, or the truth, are mere side issues compared to bureaucratic turf fighting.
2) Once again, the FBI wasn’t able to get the job done. Why do we even have an FBI any more?
3) If Biden had been mentally competent he might (Maybe) have been better able to see that he was being lead by the nose rather than given an honest assessment. A brain dead president is actually worse than no president at all. It may even be worse than a bad president because it lets the deep state completely off what little leash they have.
4) There is no four.
“Why do we even have an FBI any more?”
To punish citizens who insist on exercising inconvenient rights or holding government officers accountable.
Way back in year 2020 (how time flies), it was insane to me that anyone would dismiss, wholesale, the very realistic possibility that the Wuhan virus was a Chinese-produced and intentionally released bioweapon.
I couldn’t understand the leftist media’s incessant and naive talk of an allegedly “accidental” release from a Chinese lab. And, the leftist media fools are still talking about “accidents.” Not that glaring incompetence is alien to communists, but, to dismiss the notion of willfully malicious and cunningly planned acts of war from a transparently belligerent, callous and totalitarian Chinese communist regime that is bent on global domination, seems incredibly naive and foolish.
We are supposed to credulously dismiss as merely coincidental, that the Wuhan virus magically appeared on U.S. shores, during an election year in which #45 was cruising to an easy re-election victory over the corrupt, compromised and treasonous sell-out, dotard/crime boss, Biden?
The origin wasn’t Chinese.that’s the problem.
Bingo.
I tend to think that the release was accidental, mainly because it hit China first. From the start it spread near Wuhan, painting a target on that lab and making Chinese involvement obvious from the start. An intentional release would have been handled more carefully and at a distance.
Based on everything I’ve read it appears that the virus wasn’t ready for prime time. It was still too survivable, too easily weakened. Don’t get me wrong, the elites were more than happy about the resulting panic, but that was just a “fortunate” side effect.
The deep state is deeper than we thought.
Being a Conspiracy Theorist™️ has its drawbacks. Unfortunately, we sometimes see through the BS but don’t perceive scope or scale.
I think the pandemic is one of those issues. I don’t think we comprehend exactly how nefarious the effort to remove Trump from office (the entire point of foisting a pandemic upon us) was nor do we fully understand the damage that it caused.
In any case, since that dope Biden has cleared out death row, there’s lots of room for new convicts that richly deserve the punishment.
The “company story” was the wet market.
We were supposed to believe in 2020, a HIGHLY contagious airborne virus jumped from dead bats to humans for the first time in history. We were supposed to believe this with no evidence to support it.
This was an IQ test and the world largely failed.
Also it was on US shores in late 2019. We caught it in Hawaii in Dec. Likely on flight back to Seattle. Half our party got it and felt like crap for months… long before it was supposed to be here. An ER doc friend of mine said it was going through the ER in old people and drug addicts a month before they would allow them to diagnose it.
Lesson: When their lips are moving, they are lying.
My son got it in January 2020, in NYC.
It’s almost as if those of us “conspiracy theorists” were right from the start that the wet market origin story made no sense, the pandemic sudden spread was very suspicious and the spike proteins were not normal. Where do we go for an apology.
The apology is only one step for those who exploited Covid for political purposes. Ditto for the public health/healthcare systems, many corporations and most media. Then there’s the politicians and public employees who continued to use an ’emergency’ to impose restrictions on liberty restrictions past summer of ’20. All of these folks, all the way down to random Covid Karens demanding strangers wear a mask, should be ignored about everything until they do the work to confess, apologize and show genuine contrition.
The zoonotic origin of the virus never made any sense. The feature that made the virus more deadly than similar coronaviruses was its ability to attach more tightly to human ACE2 receptors. That, BTW, was its S1 spike protein. How did that evolve in a different species, or multiple species? Did they attach that tightly to the ACE2 receptors of other species? Apparently not. So, what evolutionary pressure could there have been to push the virus to attach itself tightly to human ACE2 receptors, while still resident in another species?
Turns out that when a virus humps from one species to another, one of several things can happen. First, the most usual case is where the virus is not as well adapted to the new species. Think smallpox and milkpox. Or, it could be just a wash. But it’s rare if the virus is better suited to the new species, because they adapt to new species through mutation, after a zoonotic jump. But the evidence of those mutations, from when the virus was adopting to the new (human) species were suspiciously absent.
Turns out that you had a bat coronavirus in bats, then that bat virus with the human specific ACE2 receptor S1 spike protein, found over a thousand miles away in Wuhan, but no bats to carry the virus there, and no intermediate species ever found that could have transport between the two locations. What could happen, and we know did happen, was that the bat virus was transported over that distance, to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, by humans, because they apparently have the world’s largest collection of bat coronaviruses. Of course, we also know, now, that Patient(s) Zero worked at the WIV. Of course, also suspicious was that gene editing insertion points were present right around the section of genetic code in the Wuhan variant of the SARS-2 virus that was changed from the original bat coronavirus ancestor’s genetic code. That’s how you get to 99.9% certainty that the jump from bats was not natural, and that the WIV was involved.
Not all of this was known, at the time when the various intelligence agencies were reporting to the President, but much of it was. They didn’t yet have over four years of failure looking for the intermediate virus and its non-bat, non-human, host. The Chinese may not have yet identified Patient(s) Zero as WIV researchers, and certainly hadn’t told very many that they knew. But what the Chinese knew, and disclosed to the world, for a short period of time, were the genetic sequences of the ancestor bat coronavirus and the Wuhan variant of its descendant SARS-2 virus. Then, the WIV possibly deleted the ancestor gene sequence from its catalog of bat coronaviruses. These two genetic sequences were in the hands of Western researchers and public health officials by at least January of 2020. And with just the two genetic sequences, and that they were found over a thousand miles apart should have shown, by at least a preponderance of the evidence that the creation of the SARS-2 virus was not natural.
It is going to be interesting to see who gets pardons in 3 weeks. I expect them to be handed out like lollipops by Joe to himself and his family. But, what about Fauci and those possibly involved in getting a million Americans killed? Will pardons create a trail of bread crumbs of people who no longer have Fifth Amendment protection against testifying?
