Not that we didn’t know it, but we now have more proof that hard-bitten leftist ideologues are deeply involved in the FBI’s social-media censorship program.
The two agents who warned Facebook that it should censor posts on Hunter Biden’s “Laptop from Hell” because it was “Russian disinformation” are also Democratic donors, the Washington Free Beacon reported on Monday.
The website linked names in a court filing to those in federal campaign donation records. The court filing is from Missouri’s lawsuit against the Biden administration to stop it from squelching free speech.
The news is more evidence that the FBI is a not-so-secret police force working at the behest of the Biden administration and Democratic Party.
And nothing, of course, will be done about it, at least until the GOP retakes Capitol Hill — if it retakes Capitol Hill — in November’s midterm elections.
Small-money Donors
The two agents aren’t big-time donors. But they do support hard-left Democrats.
“Laura Dehmlow, the unit chief for the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force, and Elvis Chan, the head of the FBI’s San Francisco cyber division, were ‘involved’ in the communications between the FBI and Facebook that led to the social media giant’s ‘suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story,’ according to a court filing on Thursday,” the Free Beacon reported.
Facebook conspired with the FBI in squelching the story because the bureau lied about the laptop’s being “Russian disinformation,” which also gave the leftist mainstream media good reason to ignore it. Eventually, the pro-Biden New York Times confirmed the laptop’s authenticity.
“According to campaign finance records, Dehmlow gave $60 to the Democratic National Committee in 2020,” the website continued:
Chan contributed $50 each to Democratic Georgia Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock for their runoff campaigns in November 2020. According to the court filing, Facebook parent company Meta identified Dehmlow and Chan in response to a subpoena for records of interactions with the Biden administration. The filing, released by the Missouri attorney general’s office on Monday, does not detail Dehmlow and Chan’s interactions with Facebook or any other social media companies. The attorney general’s office is suing the Biden administration for allegedly colluding with social media companies to “censor free speech.”…
Sens. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R., Wis.) have for months pressed the FBI for information about who met with social media companies to warn them about the Post’s laptop story, which cited Hunter Biden’s emails with his Ukrainian business partners. After Zuckerberg’s comments, the Republicans asked the FBI and Justice Department to detail interactions with social media companies and accused the agencies of “falsely” portraying negative reports about the Biden family as Russian disinformation.
As The New American reported in July, whistleblowers contacted Grassley about the FBI’s role in suppressing information about the laptop. “In August 2020, FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst Brian Auten opened an assessment which was used by a FBI Headquarters (‘FBI HQ’) team to improperly discredit negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation and caused investigative activity to cease,” Grassley wrote in a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray. “Based on allegations, verified and verifiable derogatory information on Hunter Biden was falsely labeled as disinformation.”
In August, Facebook chieftain Mark Zuckerberg confessed to podcaster Joe Rogan that Facebook had, indeed, censored information about the laptop at the FBI’s request.
Public Confession of Censorship
And “Chan, who works in the FBI’s San Francisco field office, has spoken publicly about his interactions with social media companies in the run-up to the 2020 election.” The Free Beacon continued:
He said he “was very involved in helping to protect the U.S. elections in 2020” and that the FBI “worked in conjunction with the private sector.” He said he met with technology and social media companies “on a weekly basis” before the election to share intelligence regarding any “unusual” activity on their networks.
“That’s where the FBI and the U.S. government can actually help companies,” he said.
Again, completely exposing the corruption inside the FBI, whose agents also peddled the Hillary Clinton-conceived Russian Collusion Hoax and discussed a coup d’etat against President Trump, requires a GOP takeover of at least one chamber of Congress.
