House Panel To Refer Andrew Cuomo Be Prosecuted Over Report On COVID-19 Nursing Home Deaths
'Conscious, calculated effort'
Did the CIA BRIBE experts to dismiss COVID lab-leak theory? COVID subcommittee member SPILLS the details.
It’s been almost four years since the COVID-19 pandemic swept the globe, but we still don’t know exactly where the virus came from. Was it really a pathogen spawned in a bat cage? Or did it come from a lab with sinister intentions?
Army Reserve officer, war veteran, doctor, and COVID subcommittee member Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) joins Glenn Beck to discuss this most serious issue.
Wenstrup tells Glenn that when the pandemic began, he began looking into how to effectively treat patients, and during this research, he “discovered that we were actually engaging with China in the lab in Wuhan to create gain-of-function viruses.”
Fast forward three years, and now “we have somebody coming forward as a whistleblower ... to both the Intelligence Committee and to the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, which I chair, and he's made many allegations,” says Wenstrup.
“The CIA, in trying to figure out whether this came from a lab or from nature, put together a COVID discovery team,” he tells Glenn.
Here were their results:
“Six of the people — they came to the conclusion with some level of confidence that this came from a lab,” Wenstrup explains, “and the senior person, according to these charges, said it came from nature.”
So it was a 6 to 1 vote.
But was that shared with the public? Of course not.
But they didn’t just conceal the findings; they outright lied.
“What they ended up doing at the end of the day [was] releasing to the public and to the Intelligence Community ... [that] the CIA was unable to determine” the origins of the virus, explains Wenstrup.
“Well, it sounds like they had a really high number of people who were able to determine,” he says.
Granted Wenstrup’s committee has a responsibility to “follow up on everything to do with the with the pandemic,” it’s now “seeking documents, communications,” and to speak with “Andrew Makridis, who the whistleblower says was the chief operating officer and had a lot to do with constructing this.”
Wenstrup admits that it’s deeply concerning to find out “our own intelligence department is changing things from what people actually did and said to fit a narrative that they want.”

Records Suggest Top NIH Official Squashed Lab-Leak Theory For Fauci, Used Personal Email To Hide It
Newly obtained documents indicate a senior NIAID official downplayed the Covid lab leak theory at the behest of Dr. Anthony Fauci.Report: U.S. Intelligence Agencies Are Keeping From Congress Key Information About Covid Origins
The report says U.S. intelligence agencies, despite having evidence otherwise, 'downplayed the possibility that SARS-CoV2 was connected to China’s bioweapons program.'GOP rep says FBI privately told lawmakers 2017 baseball field shooting was 'suicide by cop,' not assassination attempt
Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), a lawmaker who was at the scene of an attempted massacre of GOP politicians at a baseball field in 2017, revealed that the FBI designated the case "suicide by cop," a characterization he disputed.
Speaking during a House Intelligence Committee hearing held last Thursday that featured testimony from FBI Director Christopher Wray, Wenstrup criticized the FBI's findings, noting that other federal law agencies determined the attack was politically motivated. He said that FBI agents privately briefed members of Congress about the shooting on Nov. 16, 2017.
"Much to our shock that day, the FBI concluded that this was a case of the attacker seeking suicide by cop," Wenstrup said, according to Politico. "Director, you want suicide by cop, you just pull a gun on a cop. It doesn't take 136 rounds. It takes one bullet. Both the DHS and the [Office of the Director of National Intelligence] published products labeling this attack as a domestic violent extremism event, specifically targeting Republican members of Congress. The FBI did not."
On June 14, 2017, James Hodgkinson wielded two firearms and attacked members of the congressional Republican baseball team, shooting and seriously injuring Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), Capitol Police officers David Bailey and Crystal Griner, congressional staffer Zack Barth, and lobbyist Matt Mika. Wenstrup, a podiatrist and U.S. Army Reservist, was on the baseball field and provided medical aid to Scalise and others injured by the shooter.
Scalise underwent multiple surgeries and weeks of recovery before returning to Congress.
Hodgkinson, 66, died of injuries at the scene after the attack. He was later discovered to be a supporter of democratic socialist Bernie Sanders' campaign for president with a troubling history of violence and abuse. A behavioral review of Hodgkinson published by the U.S. Secret service noted that he "openly shared his anti-Republican views with friends, family, and others; attended protests; wrote letters to his local paper expressing discontent with economic inequality and taxes," though he "never made a threat" against any public officials.
The FBI has never publicly disclosed its conclusions on the attack. In a June 21, 2017 update on its investigation, the bureau noted the gunman's support for left-wing causes and candidates and reported its findings that Hodgkinson had made no threats against Republican lawmakers prior to the attack.
The district attorney's office in Alexandria, Virginia, called the shooting "an act of terrorism" in its report.
In a supplemental letter to his testimony, Wenstrup wrote that the FBI's private "suicide by cop" conclusion "defies logic and contradicts the publicly known facts about the perpetrator and the attack."
"The shooter had an extensive social media record highlighting his hatred of President Trump and Republicans. He had a list of names — including Republican Members of Congress — in his possession. Before carrying out his attack, he asked if the Members at the baseball field were Republicans or Democrats. Furthermore, the shooter's operational movements during the attack demonstrate his murderous intent," Wenstrup wrote.
He requested that Director Wray order the FBI Counterterrorism Division to review the investigative findings, interview all relevant witnesses, and provide an update on how the FBI reached its "suicide by cop" conclusion to Congress.
"Although the agents were not part of that investigation, they did not agree that this was suicide by cop and it's my firsthand opinion that this was an attempt at assassination of many Republican members of Congress," Wenstrup said.
