Interestingly, it has been suggested that the January 5th-6th instigator Ray Epps, who has never been arrested or charged, was an informant for Homeland Security, not the FBI. That's why Epps appeared on the "wanted posters" then suddenly disappeared without explaination.

Still stinging from efforts by foreign powers to influence the 2016 presidential election, the FBI is determined to keep the 2020 election tamper-free. Elvis Chan from the FBI’s San Francisco office shares insights into the election defense strategy.
“There is still a lot of work to be done,” says Chan, a supervisory special agent with the FBI. “The American public can be reassured ... the type of work we have been doing includes trying to ensure we have clear channels of communication open within the U.S. government; with the state, county and local officials that are in charge of elections; as well as with all the social media and technology platforms.”
And this is an international effort, Chan stresses in an interview with Information Security Media Group. “We are focused on the 2020 elections in the U.S., but there are elections going on all around the world, so we are liaising with our international partners,” he says. “We’re providing tips and guidance where we can, and we’re learning from them as they go through foreign interference campaigns in their own elections.”
Chan manages an FBI squad responsible for investigating national cybersecurity matters. He is a decorated agent who is recognized within the intelligence community as a cyberterrorism expert. Chan was the lead agent on significant cyber investigations and managed joint counterterrorism operations with domestic and foreign law enforcement agencies. Before joining the FBI, he was a process development engineer in the semiconductor industry for 13 years.

IMHO this goes right to the top of the FBI and that is director Wray. He needs to be fired.

Elvis Chan, the FBI assistant special agent in charge of the Cyber Branch in San Francisco, told lawyers for the Missouri and Louisiana attorneys general in a lawsuit over social media censorship that he supervised a "command post" in his home city that helped the nationwide disinformation censorship operation function in fall 2020. He described a sprawling operation that at time enlisted the help of FBI field offices around the country, federal prosecutors, and FBI and Justice Department lawyers before his unit would make the final request to social media to block content deemed by the operation to be disinformation or in violation of each company’s term of service.

The fallout from the unadmitted but flat out lie* of, “The Russians hacked the DNC to influence the 2016 election!!!” continues.

Elvis Chan’s whole universe os based on it.

The US backing corrupt Ukraine is because of the continuous demonization of Russia.

Hey FIB: Russia is not the big enemy. Look in the mirror for that.


*Zero actual proof ever released. Crowdstrike gave the FBI a REDACTED, DRAFT REPORT, and that’s all the evidence there is. And nobody else has seen it.

Seth Rich was involved, and not the friken Russians. And they all know it.

"Apparently, there's a loophole in the Hatch Act that doesn't impact social media. We're going to change that legislation next year."

I don't believe such a bill would pass in the dem-controlled senate. Even if it did, veto!
