Fox News Digital reported this week that former Deputy CIA Director Michael Morell, who worked to write the letter and get support from ex-intelligence officials, sent a draft of the statement to the CIA’s Prepublication Classification Review Board before making it public. Morell sent the draft in an email to the PCRB, and wrote on Oct. 19, 2020,"This is a rush job as it needs to get out as soon as possible."
"And if you’re helping get rid of Trump and you’re potentially going to be their boss after that happens, you can get it done the fastest. That’s what it looks like happened here," he said."Political considerations play no role in the CIA Pre-Publication Review Board’s established process to determine whether information submitted by current and former officers contains any classified information," the statement said.
