‘Baffled’: NBC Reporter Says Ex-Officials Stunned Pam Bondi Disbanded DOJ Task Force Combating China And Russia

MSNBC anchor Ana Cabrera spoke to NBC News Justice and Intelligence Correspondent Ken Dilanian on Friday about the latest moves made by Trump’s new attorney general at the Department of Justice.

“One of the first things Pam Bondi did as attorney general she’d just sworn in this week was halt the Justice Department’s efforts to combat foreign political interference. What do we know about that?” Cabrera asked.

“She disbanded the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force, which was created in 2017 by the Trump administration in the wake of Russian election interference. And it’s been working furiously ever since to try to identify and call out and counter manipulation on social media and elsewhere by Russia and China and Iran,” Dilanian explained, adding:

And people I’m talking to are baffled by the decision to shut this thing down. In her directive body said that it could be used for weaponization. We know that conservatives were very upset that the FBI went to Facebook and Google and other social media companies and flagged foreign disinformation, some of which was right-wing rhetoric.

What did Pam Bondi find out or know about these efforts to drive her to shut them down?

Most of us are stunned that any MSNBC host could put together a coherent sentence.

Yes.

As for the comment...What do we know about that?” ...

Nothing...as much as they know about anything.

The Justice Department will be refocused and China is foreign enemy number one although Iran ranks high.

The only tariffs that have been fully implemented by DJT so far are the ones on China.

Because Biden’s DOJ used it to censor free speech?

Correct—the “Russia” narrative was all about crushing our liberties.

The FBI needs to focus on Chinese and Russian espionage, not election interference, which is of their own creation.

But in FIB’s defense, they need to blame someone for all the election interference they and USAID have been doing to us and the rest of the world. I mean, those dirty filthy old Russians, they just keep tampering with our election and got the Donald elected again. What meanies!!!!

Thank You for the post. The obvious answer that NBC News did not want to report. They wanted a hit job on Pam.

Because there was no Russian election interference. And yet this task force was not able to let the people know this after 4 years

The task force was corrupt. Another one can be put together, sans corrupt agents.

““She disbanded the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force, which was created in 2017 by the Trump administration in the wake of Russian election interference. “

LIARS. It was not created by Trump, it was created by Wray, when he was immune from firing in 2017. And it was created to dramatize that Russia interfered on Trump’s behalf.
Complete bullshit.

The degree of Russian or Chinese interference in our elections is negligible. The real enemy is domestic electoral fraud.

That’s why the dumb bass turds are “ex officials”. Kind of like the liberals’ “experts”. They haven’t got a clue.
