Democrat collusion with China to usurp the 2020 election? The most secure election ever?
Posted on 09/04/2026 4:33:32 PM PDT by ransomnote
SNIP"This latest news comes on the heels of a blockbuster report from Status — which reported that Bartiromo’s sudden departure from the network on Thursday can be traced to an incident in July — when Fox Business management privately instructed senior employees not to lend credibility to claims Trump had made during a prime-time address about the 2020 election and China. Status’s Oliver Darcy reported that Bartiromo “spilled the secret” to the White House — an action which, according to Darcy, amounted to Bartiromo having “effectively betrayed her employer.” Byers reported that Bartiromo took a screenshot of guidance sent from a Fox Business executive to Fox Business producers which ordered that Bartiromo not pursue a story she wanted to do “related to China and 2020 election voter conspiracies. Per Byers, she sent that screenshot to senior White House officials. Fox executives learned about Bartiromo’s action after getting a call from the White House."

Maria Bartiromo was preparing to air a report on the content of President Trump’s July 16, 2026 remarks and the declassified documents he released that night regarding China’s acquisition of U.S. voter data and alleged influence efforts related to the 2020 election.The the full transcript is linked below, along with the post of the relevant excerpt of Trump's remarks, and the document download link.President Trump's July 16, 2026: Address to the Nation on Election Security
Excerpted: People's Republic of China 2020 election efforts.
"But that all changes right now. The documents we will release starting tonight have been gathered by the White House Government Transparency Task Force, a great group of people, along with the staff of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, supported by our top intelligence agency chiefs, who have all personally reviewed the findings we are presenting this evening and fully confirmed their authenticity.
You can see these documents for yourself at whitehouse.gov. That's whitehouse.gov. Go check it out.
Our purpose in disclosing this information is not to weaken confidence in election, but to earn that confidence by confronting vulnerabilities and correcting them very, very quickly. And that's what we're doing.
The documents cover five major areas of concern. First, they show that over a period of years, starting during the 2020 election cycle, the People's Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history, resulting in China's illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files.
That information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive data that would be needed to register to vote and engage in other nefarious activities, which is exactly what was happening.
This data loss presents an unprecedented election security nightmare. The intelligence even shows that China assigned a data exploitation unit specifically to this new project.
Compounding the travesty, the second set of documents we are releasing reveals that members of the deep state, very, very famous group of people, many cases, in our intelligence agency worked to actively suppress and downplay information about the extent of China's sinister election meddling, covering it up from both the President and the American people like nobody thought was possible.
U.S. spy agencies began learning about the compromise of voter registration files in 2020 when they discovered that tens of millions of voter data, think of that, tens of millions of voters' data in 18 states have been bought, stolen, or hacked by China.
Yet those responsible for sounding the alarm instead kept the information secret and hidden. They did not disclose to me as President or to anyone else, and to the best of our knowledge, they did not inform Congress. In fact, all they kept saying is, "This is the most secure election in the history of our country." A standard, very pat line that was divvied out to say.
The coverup of this colossal security breach is even more disturbing in light of the additional information showing that China engaged in other election-related activities to undermine my first administration and our 2020 campaign. They did not want, and they just didn't want it. They fought like hell not to have a Donald Trump to win, and for good reason.
As the documents we are releasing show, CIA reporting explicitly stated, and I quote, "In mid-2018, the Chinese Communist Party's policy was to leverage all domestic and foreign elements that were opposed to the U.S. president in an effort to reduce the U.S. president's votes and make him resign or prevent his re-election." Isn't that nice?
Also, in mid-2018, China was working to influence the results of the U.S. midterm elections, and later, the results of the 2020 presidential election itself.
Separately, in mid-2019, the Chinese government's strategy against the United States was focused on undermining domestic confidence in the U.S. president. They wanted to just make you sound like your president wasn't so hot when actually your president has done a great job, and they did everything possible to do exactly that.
Going on, this document says, and this is by the CIA, "The strategy included efforts to use Chinese contacts with big U.S. companies to influence U.S. business leaders to turn against the President of the United States of America. The Chinese government sought to identify U.S. journalists who had reported negatively on the U.S. president and pay them large sums of money to write more negative articles about him, as many as they could, and they didn't care what they said. The Chinese government wanted U.S. president to lose the next election."
And the reason they wanted me to lose is because they knew I was wise to them, charged them billions and billions of dollars worth of tariffs, and built the strongest military anywhere in the world. We have the strongest military anywhere in the world.
These are exact quotes from the CIA reporting. The name of the person doing the quote is now under review, but it gets even worse.
Raw intelligence obtained by the FBI in 2020, yet buried by rogue bureaucrats, stated that China's activities even included an attempt to manufacture illegal ballots for Joe Biden.
Documents show that during this period, dozens of significant CIA and NSA reports about China's election targeting were kept out of the presidential briefing. These were briefings I would get almost every day. Everything was kept out that was of importance.
One email among intelligence analysts admitted that they had, quote, "Deliberately massaged the presidential daily briefing to withhold information regarding Chinese activities related to the election."
Another official inside the FBI wrote that she was running, quote, "A shadow government," unquote, to keep intelligence about China's election meddling from becoming known and to keep it away from the honorable press. Other officials who witnessed such efforts perceived the motivations to be blatantly political.
Recently, we found significant numbers of burn bags in formation, and this is a group of bags that were used to destroy information given by President Barack Hussein Obama to be burned. It was supposed to be burned. These bags were supposed to be at a different level by different people, incinerated and checked, but it never happened. Maybe we got lucky.
We believe this was not done on purpose, but rather through gross incompetence of the people that were supposed to burn the bags. But the findings are stunning.
Today, I'm asking the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the CIA to investigate how and why such crucial information was hidden, to fire those involved in the cover-up, and to file criminal charges if appropriate against these people.
Yet concealing China's meddling was only the beginning. The third set of documents we are releasing proves that for many years, Americans were blatantly lied to about the security of our election infrastructure, including electronic voting machines and ballot counting systems. Dishonest, almost all. They're vulnerable, and they're easily compromised, and people within our government knew that.
Tonight, we're publishing a series of previously classified U.S. intelligence community assessments and other reports proving that our government has long known these machines are extremely exposed to attack.
As one assessment states, "We judge that the United States adversaries, including at a minimum Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, as well as non-state groups, have the capability to compromise U.S. election infrastructure." That's unquote, but that's some statement, isn't it, made by supposedly great patriots of our country."

The MSM and intel agencies concealing from Americans the evidence of China's efforts to influence the 2020 election? This has to be treason. Fox says Baritromo 'betrayed her employers' while they boldly serve the interests of their employers in China?I've seen reports which try to smear Baritromo as a major litigation liability ('reckless reporting') and point to impending litigation against her as if lawfare will cover their actions to influence the 2020 elections and protect China.
Yet another reason not to watch Fox. Don’t watch CNN either!
Never heard of Status. I have heard of Mediaite. I take everything I hear from Mediaite with a block of salt. Not sure why I should trust Status.
Fox News execs object that Bartiromo leaked their editorial policy to Trump. Inquiring minds want to know!
Is Fox News like the Magicians’ Guild, where you cannot let outsiders know anything?
Classifying a position as hidden that the network should wear proudly and openly if they really believed it is not exactly what I thought of when I considered possible reasons for a reporter not to report. (a whistleblower or spy ops where rrevelation of identities could lead to harm are the kind that might make sense).
Fox fires people for telling the truth yet liberals hate Fox.
She should do her own YouTube thing.
Fox is a very condescending network. I know no one who watches anything other than live sports on cable and network.
Other than the right on here and left on DU sharing clips and keeping them in business, they'd be as popular as Lawrence Welk during a PBS fundraiser.

Ever wonder why/how MSNBC had so few viewers but offered such LARGE salaries? Maybe taking bribes from foreign countries to trash and lie about our President and demoralize our citizens for the Chinese was lucrative. Gobbles and Tokyo Rose stand in awe...

The first rule of Fox Club...
… the People's Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history, resulting in China's illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files.
What exactly does “illicit” even mean in this context? If this was ILLEGAL, then say so. But the report doesn’t say this because this was NOT illegal. And it was not illegal because voter records are public information. So what exactly was “illicit” about this? And how were these records “compromised” if they are public records?
Maybe fox should do another fake poll. They are good at it. Rumor has it that Trump might name her his new Press Secretary.
In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled Maria Bartiromo’s Top Producer Also Out Amid Stunning Report Ex-Anchor ‘Betrayed’ Fox to Trump Admin [Includes relevant excerpt of President Trump's July 16, 2026 address re CHINA, and the related documents he declassified], Alberta's Child wrote: I stopped paying attention to a lot of these stories a long time ago, because almost all of them end up being misleading and/or overblown hysteria at their core. Case in point (emphasis is mine): … the People's Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history, resulting in China's illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files.

Well, Americans don't want China to continue its years of meddling in our elections. They're trying to make American elections as fake as China's elections.
If it wasn't illicit, then why did China assign a data exploitation unit specifically to this new project, and why did FOX, American Intel agencies and other MSM hide China's involvement?
Trump said, "U.S. spy agencies began learning about the compromise of voter registration files in 2020 when they discovered that tens of millions of voter data, think of that, tens of millions of voters' data in 18 states have been bought, stolen, or hacked by China."
He also said, "As the documents we are releasing show, CIA reporting explicitly stated, and I quote, "In mid-2018, the Chinese Communist Party's policy was to leverage all domestic and foreign elements that were opposed to the U.S. president in an effort to reduce the U.S. president's votes and make him resign or prevent his re-election." Isn't that nice?"
We don't want China to influence our elections. Fox News worked to hide this information from Americans, the PResident, Congress so Trump's candidacy would be damaged.
Fox News, Intel Agencies and all others participating in the coverup are traitors. And you're saying what China did isn't 'that bad'????!
When you are lying to the American people, concealing and manipulating the truth it is not betrayal to call you out, it is integrity, Fox management (Paul Ryan, anyone) is betraying their responsibility to truthfully report the news & the facts. Working for a company does not come with an agreement to conceal malfeasance.
Fox caved to Dominion for reasons of their own. Other Dominion lawsuits were dropped by Dominion. Fox was either gutless or complicit. Blaming the rare journalist seeking to uncover and present the truth is a searing indictment of Fox, the RINO media company.
Newsmax is better anyways.
Newsmax is better anyways.
Who was the White House snitch? Inquiring minds want to know.
No tv here for YEARS and YEARS. 🛑
