CIA Document Revealing Biden's Ukraine Corruption is Just a Decoy
The agency's release of the Obama-era document is part of the White House's bigger game, former CIA officer and State Department official Larry Johnson says.
So what’s it really hiding?
"I call it the shiny object. It's like what a magician does. They try to distract your attention with one hand while they do something with the other hand," Johnson tells Sputnik.
The CIA veteran wonders whether the attempt to get people to focus on former president Joe Biden links to Kiev is aimed at distracting the public from plans to go to war with
Venezuela or Iran, or sending
Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.

While the file exposed nothing new about Ukrainian corruption or the Biden family's involvement in the nation's affairs, it could have been used as "one more justification for distancing US policies from Ukraine," Johnson argued.
But that has not happened – in fact US President Donald Trump is discussing sending Tomahawk missiles to the Kiev regime.
Seventy-five percent of the CIA document is blacked out, so the public cannot know what it really says.
"I put this in the category of it's a political stunt," Johnson says.
CIA Works Hand-in-Glove With the White House
CIA Director John Ratcliffe's efforts to prove the Obama administration's interference in the agency's affairs looks unusual, according to the pundit.
For "seventy-eight years of history, the CIA has generally been the lapdog of the president, regardless of whether it's a Republican or Democrat," Johnson says. "So being responsive to White House requests is not unusual."
"The CIA has always wanted to be relevant at the White House," the pundit concludes.
