FBI Warned Twitter During ‘Weekly’ Meetings of Hunter Biden ‘Hack-and-Leak Operation’ Before Censoring The Post
New York Post ^ | 11/5

Posted on 12/04/2022 11:35:14 PM PST by nickcarraway

The FBI warned Twitter during “weekly” meetings before the 2020 election to expect “hack-and-leak operations’’ by “state actors” involving Hunter Biden, and “likely” in October, according to a sworn declaration by Twitter’s former head of site integrity, Yoel Roth.

The warnings were so specific that Twitter immediately censored The Post’s scoop about Hunter Biden’s laptop on Oct. 14, 2020, citing its “hacked materials” policy, a move described on Saturday as “election interference” by Twitter’s new owner, Elon Musk.

The extraordinary revelation for the first time lays bare how the FBI was involved in pre-bunking the story of the laptop, which had been in the bureau’s possession for almost a year.

15 Sept 2021: WashingtonFreeBeacon: Twitter Blocked Hunter Laptop Story After Intelligence Officials Shared Hack ‘Rumors’
by CHUCK ROSS
Yoel Roth, the head of Twitter’s Site Integrity Team, cited the information from U.S. intelligence officials to justify Twitter’s decision to block access to a series of New York Post articles published in October detailing emails found on Biden’s laptop. A conservative group filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission accusing Twitter of giving an illegal campaign contribution to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign by blocking access to the articles...

The six-member Federal Election Commission voted unanimously to dismiss the Republican complaint, according to documents released Wednesday. The ***bipartisan*** commission accepted Twitter’s claim that it blocked the articles for commercial purposes rather than for political reasons...

Time for a Convention of States to specifically repeal the 17th Amendment and eliminate the Senior Executive Service

I kept adding faces to this composite during 2017. This was my April 2018 Russian Collusion Hoax face chart. Note James Baker bottom center.

How many of these Rats will ever serve a day in jail? Probably none.

The Deep State / Globo Homo cabal runs our formerly free nation. Our "red vs blue" sham elections are just to keep the proles from rebelling.

Now that the world knows for sure that Twitter was controlled by Democrats, who suppressed the news, can we talk about the elephant in the room?

Democrats are suppressing the news in all of the networks and media outlets.

AND ITS ALL RIGHT IN OUR FACES!!!

McCarthy and Graham are chomping at the bit to have hearings on the FBI’s misconduct and then assure them that they will give them even more funding.

Actually, the FBI was correct on this. There was, indeed, a “hack and leak operation”.

The only problem is that the hacking was done by the FBI, to learn that the NY Post was going to produce a truthful story on the Hunter Biden laptop, and it was they who leaked it to Twitter and likely the other favorable social media operations in order to kill a factual story.

“””The FBI warnings were so specific that Twitter immediately censored The Post’s scoop about Hunter Biden’s laptop on Oct. 14, 2020, citing its “hacked materials” policy”””


I seem to recall that the FBI had possession of the Laptop in December 2019 and now a year later the FBI is warning that the laptop was hacked.

And two years later the Laptop is now deemed genuine.

Yep, this sure looks like government censorship and 1st Amendment violations.

A true conspiracy of utter 3rd raters. One of life’s lessons is that these folks sniff each other out from across a parking lot and it’s a self-protection instinct for them to automatically league up in a self-protection society of the utterly incompetent.

And these liars lie all the time. They have been lying since nursery school. It’s how they get away with s4it. They make it so painful to deal with them that you move on, and the mold grows until it takes over an entire building and no clean normal person wants to live there any more.

I’m sick of saying that people should be in jail over this. They won’t be. democrats will refuse to prosecute and Republicans are too spineless and wimpy to see that justice is done.

Incompetent? They are in total power with no avenue to remove them.

The GOP congressional hearings will be a joke.

They will just laugh and give both middle fingers.

Civil war?

A protest on Jan 6 landed dozens of citizens in jail for nearly 3 years now, never having been charged with a crime!

Free speech suppressed by the gov’t.

Political opponents openly targeted and called “threats to democracy”

All of that was just re-elected and strengthened in the midterms.

We lost the war. There is no restoration possible. It must all come down.

"If this government ever became a tyranny, if a dictator ever took charge in this country, the technological capacity that the intelligence community has given the government could enable it to impose total tyranny, and there would be no way to fight back." -- Sen.

That doesn’t mean they’re competent. Just that they hold interlocking positions of power and promote each other. None of them really know how to do anything. I live in DC. I watch them every day.

We haven't even figured out who it is we have to fight.

For a start:

The MEDIA (99% of them)
The IRS
The EPA
THE FBI
THE UNIONS (ALL OF THEM)
etc,etc,etc...

As I said to my friend yesterday, Joe, Hunter, Bill, Nancy, Hillary, Obama nor Swalwell, Raskin, Schiff or any other crooked lawyer, FBI agent, CIA analyst, the 52 ex-intelligence officers, Miley, Austin, Fauci or any Liberal connected with Epstein Island will....

NEVER DO A DAY IN JAIL.

Hunter may plea down to some kind of probation and the J6 people will rot, Letitia James will hunt down Trump and they will not stop going after imaginary crimes of DJT.

This world is not set up for justice. Just avoid the slings and arrows, praise God, raise your family as best you can and keel over in Florida playing shuffleboard one day in 101 degree heat.
