On Tuesday, lawyers from the offices of Attorneys General Eric Schmitt of Missouri and Jeff Landry of Louisiana deposed FBI Supervisory Special Agent Elvis Chan as part of their lawsuit against the Biden administration. That suit accuses high-ranking government officials of working with giant social media companies "under the guise of combating misinformation" to achieve greater censorship.
Chan, who serves in the FBI’s San Francisco bureau, was questioned under oath by court order about his alleged "critical role" in "coordinating with social-media platforms relating to censorship and suppression of speech on their platforms."
During the deposition, Chan said that he, along with the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force and senior Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency officials, had weekly meetings with major social media companies to warn against Russian disinformation attempts ahead of the 2020 election, according to a source in the Missouri attorney general's office.

Fox News Digital also learned that, according to Chan's testimony, the FBI regularly sends social media companies lists of internet URLs and social media accounts that should be taken down because they are "disinformation" from "malign foreign influence operations." The FBI then inquires whether the platforms have taken down the content. On many occasions, the platforms take down the accounts flagged by the FBI.
"Since filing our lawsuit, we've uncovered troves of discovery that show a massive 'censorship enterprise,'" Attorney General Eric Schmitt told Fox News Digital. "Now, we're deposing top government officials, and we're one of the first to get a look under the hood — the information we've uncovered through those depositions has been shocking to say the least. It's clear from Tuesday's deposition that the FBI has an extremely close role in working to censor freedom of speech."

We have a Fake Government by rigged “elections”.
Colluding with their big tech libtard cronies to help President Retard get elected
Looks like the FIB wants to replace the U.S. Constitution with their own processes regulations.
What more is needed to indict Chris Wray?
“We have a Fake Government by rigged “elections”.”
The revolution already happened while we were sleeping.
The FBI has been politicized far beyond my wildest dreams
of seven or eight years ago.
It really is shocking what they’ve been involved in.
The one thing the noodle-armed FBI soi-bois fear most is bigger noodles from the GOP.
Oh, wait. Never mind.
They got it exactly right, EXCEPT the disinformation was from the FBI, not the Russians.
It used to be Illegal to make In Kind Political Contributions, especially for a Government Agency. It had Serious Civil Penalties and carried serious Federal Prison sentences for the FELONS that dis this kid of stuff
The NKVD, Stasi, KGB, Kempeitai, Gestapo, SS, etc all could never dream that one day people would be strolling through their headquarters, going through their records.
The FBI working to achieve political outcomes and to cover for the Biden crime family is criminal. And yes, one day, people will be going through CIA/FBI/NSA databases.
Yes they will... and it will be ugly.
“ What more is needed to indict Chris Wray?”
An Attorney General that would actually indict members of the deep state.
There are none that currently exist, and in our lifetimes, it isn’t likely there ever will be one.
Quantum computing is not so far away... some future Snowden will be able to download everything, all at once, and store it on something we can scarcely imagine... and on some random day, all their dirty secrets will be exposed.
Not so far away boys, maybe less than a decade. Don’t wind up on the naughty list F-Troop. What you do today will become known.
“Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.”
Matthew 10:26
The FBI has been politicized far beyond my wildest dreams
of seven or eight years ago.
It really is shocking what they’ve been involved in.
This has been ongoing for years. Remember no one at the FBI questioned all those requests from the Clinton White House for files.
Which is exactly why I will never abandon Trump. Trump MUST win 2024 to send the message that these bastards will never put their SELECTION over our ELECTION.
A red tsunami.
Didn’t happen.
What is Zuck going to say if they ask him if FBI is "legitimate?"
