We haven’t heard the full story of the FBI’s interference in the 2020 election. Check out this thread by Sen Lee, describing a classified briefing senators received in September 2020 ( after the computer repairman reached out by phone to Giuliani): https://t.co/YK6quJdEP2— Kingmaker - Big IF!

DAVOS WATCH: Director of FBI Christopher Wray says “the level of collaboration between the private sector and the government, especially the FBI has made significant strides”

This brings to mind a September 2020 classified briefing to senators, when the FBI warned us about misinformation—possibly driven by a foreign government—that was about to come forward about “a member the Biden family.” They said we should neither believe nor share any such news. https://t.co/0hJrj90H9L— Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee) January 20, 2023
Apparently the FBI had similar conversations with social media companies at the same time. Is this the kind of collaboration he’s referencing?— Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee) January 20, 2023
This is a little trick sometimes played by these agencies—make it a classified briefing so members can’t discuss it in public or subject it to public scrutiny.— Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee) January 20, 2023
I saw a similar trick deployed in September 2012, in a classified briefing in the immediate wake of the Benghazi attack.— Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee) January 20, 2023
In both meetings, senators received a clear message: “you can’t talk about this stuff outside this room or subject it to the light of day.” And in both instances, at least parts of these briefings should not have been held in a classified environment.— Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee) January 20, 2023
