FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Elvis Chan, one of the central figures in the federal government’s censorship of conservative voices during the 2020 presidential election, has reportedly been placed on terminal leave. The development was first reported by independent journalist Breanna Morello. Chan, who served as the FBI’s key liaison between the Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) and Big Tech companies like Twitter, Facebook, and Google, was instrumental in a government-led censorship campaign to silence conservative voices and suppress damaging information about Hunter Biden in the lead-up to the election. The House Judiciary Committee filed a lawsuit against FBI...

BREAKING — Trump, on his first day, will suspend the security clearances for the 51 national security officials who "lied" about Hunter BIden's laptop ahead of the 2020 presidential election: Fox News

Obama’s ‘Censorship’ Office Goes Bankrupt COMMENTARY By Gabe KaminskyDecember 30, 2024 Obama’s ‘Censorship’ Office Goes BankruptAP The Global Engagement Center, an office housed within the State Department and aiming to thwart disinformation and misinformation, has been forced by Congress to close up shop. It’s no mystery why; the taxpayer-backed GEC violated its mandate to work only overseas and devolved into a partisan enabler of speech suppression in the United States. Here’s how. Founded in 2016 and technically the product of an Obama-era executive order on counterterrorism, the GEC lapsed in December and lost congressional funding. Over the last two years,...

National Public Radio’s public editor said she was “really uncomfortable” with large tech companies “censoring” The Post’s reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop — but gave her own outlet a free pass for declining to cover the story. Kelly McBride, who has been NPR’s ombudsman since 2020, told The Wrap that tech firms such as X and Facebook were wrong to prevent users from sharing links to The Post’s revelations about the laptop, whose hard drive included emails linking the Biden family to a Ukrainian businessman. “I was really uncomfortable with the tech companies censoring it,” McBride said. “Who are...

Hunter Biden’s abandoned MacBook was a window into the Biden family business, a secret international influence peddling operation. New York Post columnist Miranda Devine, who exposed many of Hunter’s secrets in her book “Laptop from Hell,” returns with “The Big Guy,” the story of how the FBI, the CIA, the State Department, the IRS and the Department of Justice conspired to protect Joe Biden and his family. Here, in a second exclusive excerpt, she explains the Ukrainian intrigue that surrounded Joe and Hunter:

In what could be the biggest moment of the campaign so far, Donald Trump and Joe Biden are set to square off in their first debate on Thursday. After years of speculation and doubt about whether such a meeting would take place, the current president proposed a highly controlled head-to-head on CNN featuring Jake Tapper and Dana Bash as moderators. With that said, the intellectual titans of 'The View' have a warning for Trump: Don't go after Hunter Biden. The discussion started with Joy Behar worrying that any mention of Biden's now-convicted felon son would be a "trigger point" and...

Biden echoed that claim, citing a letter by over 50 former intelligence officials. But as Breitbart News noted earlier this week, those officials admitted they had no actual evidence of “Russian disinformation,” and they allowed that the emails might in fact be “genuine.”

Jack Poso 🇺🇸 @JackPosobiec BREAKING: Federal prosecutors just entered Hunter Biden's laptop as evidence in the case against him Remember when the entire media, the intel community, and his father told us all it was fake in 2020 and Twitter censored anyone talking about it?

The Judge in Hunter Biden’s federal gun case ruled on Friday that prosecutors can use evidence from Hunter Biden’s laptop to sway jury members. However, according to Fox, “prosecutors on Special Counsel David Weiss’ team cannot use some salacious evidence in the first son’s criminal trial next month, including references to his U.S. Navy discharge and the child support case for his out-of-wedlock daughter in Arkansas.” In September, Hunter Biden was indicted on federal gun charges. He was indicted in a Delaware court on three counts related to his possession of a firearm while using drugs. Hunter pleaded not guilty...

The Biden administration agreed Friday to shut down a panel of “experts” that included multiple signatories of a letter that dismissed a laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden as Russian disinformation. The Department of Homeland Security agreed to “wind down” the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group in 30 days following litigation from America First Legal, according to court documents. The experts in the group included former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who signed an October 2020 letter that claimed a bombshell New York Post report about emails from the laptop supposedly abandoned by Hunter Biden...

It’s been called a device “from hell.” Intelligence experts once falsely insinuated it was Russian disinformation. And lawyers for the president's son this month even questioned if it really even exists. Remarkably, the Hunter Biden laptop saga begun four years ago is turning the tables on the FBI, which now is being asked to return the now infamous device and its data to the origin point of a scandal that prompted an impeachment inquiry against the 46th president. Lawyers for Delaware computer shop owner John Paul Mac Isaac this week subpoenaed America’s most famous law enforcement agency, demanding the bureau...

A letter on Hunter Biden’s infamous abandoned laptop shows the Biden family pursuing a deal with Qatar, undermining the Trump Administration and appearing like an effort at a shadow foreign policy. The letter — retrieved from the “Laptop from Hell” by Congressman Darrell Issa’s (R-CA) office after being in a previously unreadable format — shows James Biden, President Biden’s brother, making an overture to an associate of Qatari Sheikh Abdulla Bin Mohammed Al Thani. They say, “my family could provide a wealth of introductions and business opportunities at the highest levels,” despite unfavorable policies of the “fractured” and “beleaguered” then-Trump...

Hunter Biden’s laptop is a treasure trove of potentially felonious activity. It’s a roadmap into the entire Biden operation concerning shady deals with corrupt oligarchs whose monies were funneled into shell companies owned by the family. These proceeds soared into the millions of dollars, which explains the over 170 suspicious activity reports from six banks regarding the family’s financial transactions. Joe Biden’s son raked in $20 million from these people—he still didn’t know what was going on? Any parent would know, and Hunter isn’t one to keep his mouth shut about his lucrative exploits. His ego wouldn’t allow it. We...

The Washington Post’s fact-checking department has yet again quietly updated — rather than corrected — its most-read story, which contained glaring errors about first son Hunter Biden’s laptop and an infamous dinner involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi. Glenn Kessler, the paper’s chief fact-checker, has made six updates and authored an entirely new article about The Post’s bombshell reports in October 2020 and May 2021 that revealed Hunter Biden introduced his father to Pozharskyi at Café Milano in Georgetown months after joining the natural gas firm’s board. The initial fact check relied on statements from Andrew...

After Hunter Biden’s plea deal dramatically fell apart in court this week, the Department of Justice made clear it is still looking into potential foreign lobbying and money laundering charges against him. And now after a painstaking investigation using documents from Hunter's abandoned laptop, interviews with sources and subpoenaed records obtained by DailyMail.com, we can reveal exactly what evidence may be used against the First Son. The information lays out a laundry list of potential foreign influence violations that span China, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Kazakhstan, Mexico and other Latin American countries.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham takes a deep look into what was really behind the broad immunity request to protect Hunter Biden on 'The Ingraham Angle.' Put this together with all of last weeks Laptop/FBI revelations of Robert Hunter Biden's criminal business dealings in Ukraine, Romania, Russia, China, and the UAE that also implicate his daddy, sitting US President Joe Biden. Aaaand the Laptop From Hell implicating the DOJ, FBI, and CIA all involved in 2020 election interference/rigging. Remember, if dems still owned the house none of this would be happening. Democrats are liars and hypocrites. Poor Nancy Pelosi must...

The FBI knew about Joe Biden’s Ukraine business dealings before the “Laptop from Hell” reporting, according to an FBI informant document released by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA). The FD-1023 form is dated June 20, 2020, but the source reporting was from June 26, 2020. The form alleges that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden both received $5 million from the founder of Burisma Holdings, Mykola Zlochev after Joe Biden threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine until President Petro Poroshenko fired a prosecutor investigating Burisma. As Brietbart reported: The FBI’s informant document said that Hunter and Joe Biden allegedly “coerced” the Burisma...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., caused a stir when she held up several graphic photos from Hunter Biden’s laptop during a committee hearing Wednesday with IRS whistleblowers alleging misconduct in investigations into the Biden family.

"The FBI verified its authenticity in November of 2019 by matching the device number against Hunter Biden’s Apple iCloud ID," IRS whistleblower Shapley testified. The FBI knew the laptop Hunter Biden abandoned at a Delaware repair shop was authentic back in 2019. IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley Jr revealed in testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee that "in October 2019, the FBI became aware that a repair shop had a laptop allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden and that laptop might contain evidence of a crime." This was a full year before the laptop came to light via the New...

Hunter Biden identified himself as “heteroflexible” on a social networking and hook-up site geared towards people interested in the sexual practices of bondage, domination, sadism, masochism (BDSM), and other forms of fetishism. Hunter Biden’s profile on the website FetLife, short for fetish life, which is described as being like “Facebook for kinksters,” reveals his self-described sexual orientation to be “heteroflexible,” meaning that he is interested in having sex not just with women, but with other men. According to a definition of “heteroflexible” available on the FetLife website, “This term refers to people who are mostly attracted to the ‘opposite’ gender...
