The $5 Battery That Never Dies - Edison Buried This 100 Years Ago

James Erdman III, a veteran CIA special operations officer, told senators that in August 2021 the intelligence community was on the verge of concluding the virus most likely leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China. Days later, that position reversed with no clear explanation.
Erdman stated under oath: "Dr. Fauci's role in the cover-up was intentional. Dr. Fauci influenced the analytical process and findings by leveraging his position to ensure the IC consulted with a conflicted list of curated subject matter experts, public health officials, and scientists."
He added that intelligence leaders "purposefully downplayed the lab origin" and "knew the virus came from Wuhan but pushed the natural origin narrative anyway." Erdman testified that CIA scientists had circulated papers noting "all the conditions were present for a lab leak," yet senior analysts ultimately buried or softened those assessments.
Senator Rand Paul pressed Erdman on the timeline. Paul described the Biden administration's final moves as a "clean-up operation," noting: "Scientific analysts concluded multiple times between 2021 and 2023 that a lab leak was the most likely origin of COVID-19. Yet those conclusions never shaped the official narrative… It was not until after the 2024 election that the outgoing Biden administration directed the CIA to issue an assessment not because of new intelligence, but so officials could walk out of the door claiming there was nothing left to find."
Senator Bernie Moreno (R-OH) demanded accountability. He told the witness: "All these hearings are important. What you said is super critical… But where is the accountability? This is what I hear from my constituents all over Ohio… they want to see the perp walks."
Moreno continued: "Anthony Fauci is sitting sipping margaritas somewhere with his multi-million dollar financial success as a result of duping the American people into putting an experimental vaccine into their bodies or risk losing their jobs. He's not accountable to anybody."
Senators Ron Johnson and Rand Paul pushed back after the CIA labeled the public hearing "political theater." Johnson stated: "This committee needs an apology! This is not political theater. This is what the American people need to see." Paul added: "Closed-door testimony doesn't provide oversight. Public testimony provides oversight."
Fox News reporter Bill Melugin noted the complete absence of Senate Democrats from the Homeland Security Committee hearing, despite several members serving on the panel. One Democrat, Sen. Ruben Gallego of Arizona, walked past the media setup but did not enter the room.
Erdman also raised separate concerns about oversight of declassification efforts. He claimed the CIA "took back 40 boxes of JFK and MK-Ultra files" that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was reviewing.
The whistleblower further alleged the agency "illegally monitored the computer and phone usage" of investigators working on the COVID-19 origins probe under presidential direction. He said: "These were Americans being spied on illegally while carrying out duties directed by the President and under the authority of the Director of National Intelligence."
