Summary

Internal FBI chat logs reveal the bureau imposed a 'gag order' on the day the NY Post published its Hunter Biden laptop story, with senior officials instructing staff not to discuss the Biden matter and silencing an analyst who tried to tell Twitter the laptop was real. The FBI had previously worked to discredit the story as Russian disinformation before its publication, leading Big Tech companies to censor it during early voting in the 2020 election.

    “Do not talk about the Biden matter” 🚨 NEW INTERNAL FBI CHAT LOGS SHOW THE FBI IMPOSED A “GAG ORDER” ABOUT THE NY POST STORY ON HUNTER BIDEN’S LAPTOP THE DAY IT CAME OUT 🧵 THREAD:

    The FBI had Hunter Biden’s laptop, but on the day the NY Post story came out, the FBI refused to tell Big Tech the truth.

    Last year, we detailed the FBI’s months-long campaign to ‘pre-bunk’ the New York Post story on the Biden family’s corruption ahead of the 2020 election.

    Our report showed how the FBI worked to discredit the story as so-called ‘Russian disinformation’ before it was even published. Read it here: judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subs…

    The FBI’s campaign to discredit the Post story continued even after it was published on October 14, 2020. That morning, one FBI analyst tried to tell Twitter that the laptop was real—until his bosses shut him up.

    The Committee had testimony from key FBI personnel, but until now, the FBI refused to produce the internal communications from that day in unclassified form for the American public to see.

    An internal FBI chat log newly obtained by the Committee shows the FBI deliberately withheld information about the FBI having Hunter Biden’s laptop and an ongoing criminal investigation involving the Biden family’s corruption: “do not discuss biden matter.”

    The internal FBI chat log also shows how far senior FBI officials went to silence this analyst. After the meeting, a senior FBI lawyer put a “gag order” on the analyst.

    The analyst was also “admonished” by FBI staff, who lamented that he still wouldn’t “shut up.”

    With the truth-telling analyst given a “gag order” and the FBI refusing the comment, Big Tech censored the Post story because the FBI had, for months, led them to believe it was Russian disinformation and had withheld the fact that the FBI was in possession of the laptop.

    During the week that Facebook demoted the story, over 30 million Americans cast their ballots in the 2020 presidential election. Read about it here: judiciary.house.gov/media/in-the-n…

    Fortunately, President Trump, @AGPamBondi, @FBIDirectorKash have ended the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force, which was responsible for this ‘prebunking’ operation. We will continue to work with them to increase transparency and end the weaponization of federal law enforcement.
