HOW THE FBI “PREBUNKED” A TRUE STORY ABOUT THE BIDEN FAMILY’S CORRUPTION BEFORE THE 2020 ELECTION
The FBI knew Hunter Biden’s laptop was real & worked for MONTHS to prime Big Tech to censor the @nypost story.
Here’s how the FBI "prebunked" the biggest story of the election.
🧵
In late 2019, the FBI obtained and secretly confirmed that the Hunter Biden laptop was real.
The laptop had damning material showing the Biden family’s corrupt influence-peddling scheme.
Just a few months later, while in possession of Hunter’s laptop, the FBI started meeting with Big Tech to warn about potential Russian disinformation ahead of the election.
In total, the FBI and Big Tech met over 30 times in 2020 before the Biden family corruption story came out.
FBI warned Big Tech to watch for:
WHO: Russians.
WHAT: Hack-and-Leak operation.
WHEN: October surprise.
WHY: To reveal “links between the Biden family and Ukraine, including Burisma.”
Internal Facebook emails a MONTH before @nypost story came out show Big Tech got specific warnings:
The FBI spent months establishing the who, what, when, & why behind a potential foreign hack-and-leak operation.
And it just so happened to match the damning contents about Biden family corruption on Hunter Biden’s laptop—which the FBI had since late 2019.
Quite the coincidence!
But it wasn’t a coincidence.
@JudiciaryGOP & @Weaponization obtained testimony from key FBI witnesses that the FBI officials who knew the FBI had Hunter Biden’s laptop were the same ones meeting with Big Tech when Big Tech was warned of a “hack-and-leak” involving the Bidens.
Then, when the @nypost Biden family corruption story came out, Big Tech did what the FBI primed them to do – they censored it.
Facebook demoted it for a week right before the election, and Twitter prevented anyone from sharing the link to the story.
Shocking internal notes from a Microsoft employee from the day the @nypost story came out confirm that the FBI “tipped” Big Tech off about “this Burisma story” a “week” earlier.
This was election interference, plain and simple.
Big Tech knew this work with the FBI would affect the 2020 election.
In an internal chat, Facebook employees joked that when they get called to testify about "why we influenced the 2020 election," they could “say we have been meeting for YEARS with the US gov’t to plan for it.”
And Facebook’s communications team didn’t fear that the press would criticize them for censoring a true story on the Biden family’s influence peddling.
Why?
As they joked about internally the night the story broke: “The Press is only as good to you as you are bad to Trump”
Internal Facebook messages obtained by @JudiciaryGOP & @Weaponization show that Big Tech employees knew their “trusted secret squirrel partners”—in the US gov’t—would give them cover for censoring the story even though they wouldn’t be able to prove that the laptop was hacked.
Right on cue, just five days after the @nypost story was published, 51 former intelligence community members, organized by @SecBlinken and the Biden campaign, lied to the American people, incorrectly calling the story Russian disinformation.
Big Tech censored the most important story of the 2020 election because the FBI spent months priming them to.
Today, Big Tech executives, like Mark Zuckerberg @finkd, now admit that it was wrong to censor the @nypost story, and point the finger at the FBI.
But Big Tech knew better at the time.
Even though the story was obviously not Russian disinformation, Big Tech continued to censor it because they knew that’s what the Biden-Harris Administration would want.
As Facebook’s senior leadership debated about censoring the @nypost story, Nick Clegg, VP of Global Affairs, explained why they had to continue to censor:
“Our calls on this [decision] could colour the way an incoming Biden administration views us more than almost anything else”
This was just the beginning of Big Tech’s censorship at the Biden-Harris Administration’s behest.
A few months later, Facebook, YouTube, and Amazon began caving to the Biden-Harris White House’s pressure to censor American speech, including true information and jokes.
