The FBI Interfered in the 2020 Election

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook suppressed the distribution of the Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020 after a visit from the FBI.

Zuckerberg told Joe Rogan that the FBI had been warning Facebook to beware of incoming “Russian propaganda” before the New York Post released the report on Hunter.

Zuckerberg explained on the “Joe Rogan Experience” Thursday:

    “Basically the background here is the FBI, I think basically came to us — some folks on our team and was like, ‘Hey, um, just so you know, like, you should be on high alert. There was the — we thought that there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election. We have it on notice that basically there’s about to be some kind of dump of — that’s similar to that. So just be vigilant.'”

    “We just kind of thought, Hey look, if the FBI, which, you know, I still view as a legitimate institution in this country, it’s a very professional law enforcement. They come to us and tell us that we need to be on guard about something. Then I wanna take that seriously.”

He says Facebook took a more judicious approach to the story than Twitter:

    “So our protocol is different from Twitter’s. What Twitter did is they said ‘You can’t share this at all.’ Um, we didn’t do that. If something’s reported to us as potentially, um, misinformation, important misinformation, we also use this third party fact-checking program, cause we don’t wanna be deciding what’s true and false.”

To clarify Zuckerberg’s comments, Twitter briefly suspended the New York Post for sharing the story and deleted tweets sharing the hyperlink. Facebook didn’t remove posts but instead placed the story lower in newsfeeds so that only accounts continuing to scroll could find the link.
First, Facebook interfered in the 2020 presidential election by throttling the story. 16% of Biden voters say they would have voted differently had Facebook and smaller social media platforms not censored a credibly-reported bombshell.

Second, it sounds as if the FBI is why Facebook put a specific report under a thorough review process. In that case, there’s another example of Facebook working on behalf of the government.

Facebook has rarely applied this careful review to other potential bombshells, including stories that turn out to be, well, propaganda. The Washington Post’s dubious reporting tying Donald Trump to Russia collusion sat atop newsfeeds for weeks.

Rogan asked Zuckerberg if he regretted how Facebook handled the laptop story after the New York Times found corroborating evidence. Zuckerberg quickly responded “yes.”

Why he didn't take or give [who told him] names is what I wonder.. but the FBI starting with the Director has just long been another political function and that is a violation of it's understood law enforcement charter.

Mark Zuckerberg tells Joe Rogan FBI warned Facebook of 'Russian propaganda' before Hunter Biden laptop story
                                                               August 25, 2022
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed that the FBI approached Facebook warning the platform about "Russian propaganda" ahead of the bombshell Hunter Biden laptop story leading up to the 2020 presidential election.

Appearing on Thursday's installment of "The Joe Rogan Experience," Zuckerberg was asked about Facebook's suppression of the New York Post's reporting that shed light on the shady foreign business dealings of the son of then-candidate Joe Biden.

Zuckerberg began by stressing how Facebook took a "different path" than Twitter, which completely censored the Post's reporting while Facebook limited its reach on the platform.

"Basically, the background here is the FBI, I think, basically came to us- some folks on our team and was like, 'Hey, just so you know, like, you should be on high alert…  We thought that there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election. We have it on notice that, basically, there's about to be some kind of dump of that's similar to that. So just be vigilant,'" Zuckerberg told host Joe Rogan.

Top FBI agent resigns amid claims he shielded Hunter Biden from probe: report

A top FBI agent at the Washington field office reportedly resigned from his post last week after facing intense scrutiny over allegations he helped shield Hunter Biden from criminal investigations into his laptop and business dealings.

Timothy Thibault, an FBI assistant special agent in charge, was allegedly forced out after he was accused of political bias in his handling of probes involving President Biden’s son, sources told the Washington Times on Monday.

The agent was escorted out of the field office by at least two “headquarters-looking types” last Friday, the sources said.

Thibault and the FBI didn’t immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment on Monday.

Thibault, a 25-year-veteran, had already been on leave for a month after the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), started raising concerns about whistleblower claims the FBI had obstructed.......

The truth is coming out.  Better late than never.  The so called "national security experts" who signed the letter indicating that the Hunter Biden laptop was the product of Russian disinformation should be held accountable.  They engaged in an effort to influence the election with a false conspiracy theory.  Ironically, the only "disinformation" here was that produced by the media and these phony experts.

How great would it be if the FBI devoted even a small portion of the resources devoted to Trump to the open border where over two million unknown individuals have entered the US in violation of Federal law in the last year.  And the US government has not only refused to enforce the law but are complicit as part of a conspiracy to aid these individuals in breaking the law.  The biggest human and drug trafficking operation in human history.  Being funded by US taxpayers.  Or how about if some of the 87,000 new IRS agent had been allocated to the border?  That is NEW IRS employees to add the existing bureaucracy.  There are only about 30,000 total border agents.
