"CISA makes the 'Disinformation Governance Board' look tame," House Judiciary GOP says.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Department of Homeland Security agency that helped launch a public-private partnership to flag and mass-report alleged election misinformation to social media platforms in 2020 took an immediate interest in New York Post reporting on emails from Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop, newly revealed documents show.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency internally shared one such report, "Obama conference call leaked to Burisma," the same day it was published, Oct. 14, 2020, according to heavily redacted emails turned over in Freedom of Information Act litigation to America First Legal.

The only content not redacted in the Oct. 14 email is the web address, date and timestamp, priority ("normal") and type ("Skype.Teams Message"), making the purpose unclear.

Eight days later, a redacted CISA analyst on the Countering Foreign Influence Task Force sent an email to "Colleagues" on "updated reporting for this week" that copies an Axios report titled "QAnon Conspiracy Theory Explodes Ahead of the Election."

The report ties the Pizzagate child sex-trafficking theory to "[r]ecent reports about what was purported to be Hunter Biden's computer hard drive," which has "sparked renewed activity from Q," which posted 16 times the day of the Post scoops.

These emails show that CISA at best was "in the dark" about the authenticity of Biden's laptop, nearly a year after the FBI confirmed its authenticity and despite CISA's representations that it closely coordinates with the FBI, AFL wrote on X.

AFL noted its litigation had already revealed CISA's participation in "prebunking" purported misinformation. The FOIA request was for records related to CISA’s Mis-, Dis-, and Malinformation (MDM) Team, "specifically records related to the suppression of Hunter Biden news stories ahead of the 2020 Election," its document production page says.

The legal group founded by President Trump's former aide Stephen Miller didn't say from which document production the emails came. It has posted eight rounds thus far, but Just the News couldn't find the cited emails in the two most recent.

Republican lawmakers quickly responded to the revelations.

"CISA is a poisonous agency staffed by bureaucrats who seem to view their mission as destroying the First Amendment," Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., wrote on X. "CISA makes the 'Disinformation Governance Board' look tame," the House Judiciary Committee GOP X account chimed in.

The Biden DHS’ 2020 co-partnership to flag alleged election misinformation to social media took an immediate interest in the NYP’s ace reporting on emails from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency internally shared one such NYP report: “Obama conference call leaked to Burisma,” according to heavily redacted emails turned over in FOIA litigation by “America First Legal.”

The only content not redacted is the web address, date and
timestamp, priority and type, making the purpose unclear.

Republican lawmakers quickly responded. “CISA is a poisonous agency staffed by bureaucrats who seem to view their mission as destroying the First Amendment,” Rep. Dan Bishop, R-NC, wrote on X. “CISA makes the ‘Disinformation Governance Board’ look tame,” the House Judiciary Committee GOP X-account chimed in.

Do you see why the deep state MUST rig elections?

Because there’s a lot, and still growing, number of illegal and anti-Constitutional activities which MUST be hidden.
