The FBI colluded with a Ukrainian intelligence agency in an effort to disrupt Russian disinformation campaigns by flagging social media accounts in a failed effort that ensnared a verified Russian-language U.S. State Department account and others, the House Judiciary Committee said in a report released Monday.
The report said the FBI partnered with the SBU, one of Ukraine's intelligence agencies, to flag the accounts believed to have spread Russian disinformation. Both agencies flagged American accounts for removal, as well as those belonging to American journalists, the report said.
The FBI and SBU requested the removal or suspension of the accounts expressing pro-Ukrainian views or criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the report said.

I think they meant pro-russian views, not
accounts expressing pro-Ukrainian views
In other words, much factual information about the battlefield that didn’t meet the SBU narrative that Ukraine is winning and is going to win, militarily
I would bet the corrupt Uke pigs the Vindman bros are behind it.
Actual Nazis, controlling free speech in America, through US law enforcement.
“In politics, a dog whistle is the alleged use of coded or suggestive language in political messaging to garner support from a particular group without provoking opposition. The concept is named after ultrasonic dog whistles, which are audible to dogs but not humans.”
“Russian disinformation” is one example. It does not mean what most people think that it does. Just about anything that does not go along with the official narrative has been labeled as Russian disinformation at one point or another... The information contained in Hunter’s laptop is probably the best example. Anyone who has not gone along with the official narrative in Ukraine has been accused of spreading “Russian disinformation”.
That aught to give someone a short pause.
Every claim of “Russian disinformation campaigns” from Michael Flynn’s corrupt prosecution, to the Steele Dossier, to election interference, to Concord Management’s $$ billions in facebook adverts, to Hunter’s laptop - have ALL been proven to be fake.
In fact, they have proven to be propaganda campaigns fostered by America’s top politicians and US security agencies.
These people simply can not be trusted.
This...10X
The FBI/DOJ is totally corrupt and must be disbanded. We cannot travel further down this road that has been travelled before. As they have no respect, things will undoubtedly get uglier soon. Remember 1/6
If I wanted the FBI’s and the US government opinion on the war in Ukraine..... I would seek it out. Liberals clearly don’t understand, and certainly not three letter acronyms government agencies, the point of the First Amendment.
They will not have any reservations about asking you, your family, or your kids to die for a ‘cause’ while they prevent you from engaging in communication.
the FBI, on behalf of the SBU, flagged Americans’ accounts and posts that were critical of Vladimir Putin and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine."
The SBU was previously infiltrated by a network of Russian collaborators, sympathizers, and double agents, according to the report. Furthermore, the FBI appeared to not vet the American social media accounts or did so and carried out the requests anyway, the panel said.
The committee said the SBU's motives for flagging the accounts came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s decision to fire the head of SBU in 2022 as the agency was "compromised by a network of Russian collaborators, sympathizers, and double agents."
It helps to read the article before commenting. It was russian collaborators who wanted accounts in the US removed.

“FBI Director Christopher Wray is slated to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday”
FBI Director Christopher Wray is slated to lie and refuse to answer questions before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
Does this describe he woefully poorly funded “russian” influence operation which Mueller’s investigation and the DOJ IG’s as well proved had little to ZERO effect?
That one? Because this is only posited to continue the now 7 years long ANTI-Trump efforts of Obamaumao/JoeyBaggs/Rosenstein efforts from DAY one to castigate and malign LOYAL AMERICANS who do not want the crap they are loading onto this Country for their OWN interests which are global, not Sovereign
“FBI Director Christopher Wray is slated to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday”
What for? He’s only going to lie.
Have to wonder what leverage they have over Wray, if any. Perhaps he’s a true believer. Either way the lamp post is what the bastard deserves.
So maybe this means FR is considered objective.
From the article:
“Furthermore, the FBI appeared to not vet the American social media accounts or did so and carried out the requests anyway, the panel said.”

Sounds like the FBI is simply subservient to their masters - no questions asked. Kind of like in organized crime, eh.
I knew that our government, through its armed jackbooted thugs, was controlling what is posted on “social media.” I also knew that our government was passing some of our money to “social media” to compensate them for the revenue lost when members were canceled or suppressed.
