THE FACEBOOK FILES PART 4. FBI LIED ABOUT MEETING WITH BIG TECH REGARDING NY POST’S HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY

Internal FB docs reveal that an FBI Special Agent made false statements in testimony about the FBI’s role in the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story

🧵 Thread:
FBI Special Agent Elvis Chan is the main conduit between the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force and Big Tech.

Agent Chan was in the meeting between the FBI and Facebook on Oct. 14, 2020—the day the @nypost published its story on the Hunter Biden laptop.
Laura Dehmlow is the current Section Chief of the Foreign Influence Task Force.

On Oct. 14, when Facebook asked if the laptop was real, she responded “no comment” even though the FBI had the laptop and knew it was real.
In July, @JudiciaryGOP and @Weaponization interviewed Laura Dehmlow.

Her testimony was shocking, revealing that the FBI deliberately withheld critical information from social media companies about Hunter Biden’s laptop the day that the @nypost story broke.
In her interview, we learned, for the first time, that the FBI met with Twitter on October 14 before meeting with Facebook the same day.
When Twitter asked if the laptop was real, an FBI agent said “yes.” But a second FBI agent—a lawyer—jumped in, cut him off, and said, “no further comment.”

Read the transcript for yourself: Image
But it gets better. Dehmlow revealed that the FBI then had emergency internal deliberations to decide how to answer that same question going forward.

Someone at the FBI—the FBI refuses to say who—ordered that the FBI would say “no comment” going forward. Image
Later that same day—October 14—Facebook met with the FBI, including Chan and Dehmlow.

Facebook asked the same question: is the laptop real? Now having its story straight, the FBI responded, “no comment.” Image
Did Dehmlow know that the FBI had the laptop and it was real? Yes.

Did other key members of the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force know? Yes.

The FBI knew the laptop was real and yet decided it would say “no comment.”
We know what happened next.

Twitter and Facebook censored the @nypost story.

The Biden campaign secretly set in motion the events that led to the 51 former intel officials discrediting the story as Russian disinformation.
So, just weeks before the 2020 election, most Americans either did not hear about the story or were misled to believe that it was the product of Russian disinformation.

Fast forward to November 2022. Elvis Chan is being deposed as one of the key figures in the government’s censorship regime.

He is obligated to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

You can watch the whole deposition here:

Chan first testified about the October 14 Facebook-FITF meeting where Dehmlow said “no comment” when Facebook asked if the Hunter Biden laptop was real. Image
Chan was then asked if the FBI had any meetings with companies, other than the Facebook meeting, about the Hunter Biden story?

Chan responds that he is “confident” that he was not part of any meetings with Big Tech about Hunter Biden. Image
Chan was asked again if, other than the October 14 Facebook-FITF meeting, he was “aware of any communications between anyone at Facebook and anyone at the FBI related to the Hunter Biden laptop story?”

He answered: “No.” Image
COMPLETELY FALSE.

The Committee has recently obtained an internal Facebook document PROVING that Agent Chan had a secret “follow up” call with Facebook about the Hunter Biden laptop story on October 15, just one day after the @nypost story and the first Facebook meeting! Image
Those weren’t Agent Chan’s only inconsistent statements. Agent Chan also claimed in the deposition that he had “no internal knowledge of [the FBI’s] investigation” involving Hunter Biden’s laptop. Image
But the Facebook employee, an ex-FBI agent, wrote—the day after the story broke—that “Chan advised that he was up to speed on the current state of the matter within the FBI.”

Chan also told FB that “there was no current evidence to suggest any foreign connection...of the leaks.” Image
Of course, there was “no evidence” of “any foreign connection.”

The laptop was real, and the FBI knew it.

The FBI had the laptop since December 2019.

Is there any wonder why the Biden DOJ has so far stonewalled the Committee’s efforts to interview Agent Chan?
Our investigation remains ongoing and we will continue to update the public with our findings as we prepare and consider legislation to fight the censorship-industrial complex and protect the First Amendment.

And that federal case against the Biden Administration? That’s still ongoing.

On July 4, a federal court granted an injunction prohibiting the Biden Administration from continuing to censor Americans.
That injunction would stop the government from censoring Americans.

Biden’s DOJ is APPEALING the decision.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals will hear oral argument this Thursday. The freedom of speech is at stake.

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.

🧵 Image
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. Image
Image
Image
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.Image

THE AMAZON FILES PART 3 – AMAZON’S CENSORED BOOKS LIST

We knew that @Amazon censored books because of pressure from the Biden @WhiteHouse.

Now we know which books:

--Children’s Books
--Books for Parents
--Books critical of Big Pharma

🧵 Thread:
.@JudiciaryGOP and @Weaponization obtained internal Amazon documents showing that the urgent “impetus” for Amazon censoring books in March 2021 was “criticism from the Biden administration.”

To censor the books, Amazon created a “new [Do Not Promote] class for anti-vax books.” Image
Internal emails reveal that Amazon initially added 43 books to its newly created “Do Not Promote” class of allegedly anti-vaccine books.

These pro-censorship changes were being made “due to criticism from the Biden people.”

Before finalizing a new content moderation policy proposal, YouTube asked the Biden White House to review and for their “feedback.”

🧵 Thread:
.@JudiciaryGOP and @Weaponization obtained internal Google docs revealing the Biden White House’s pressure campaign against YouTube.
As revealed in the YouTube Files, the company was concerned things could “spiral out of control” and wanted to stay on good terms with the White House because they were seeking “to work closely with [the Biden] administration on multiple policy fronts.”
