A congressional committee has concluded its investigation into allegations the FBI rigged the 2020 presidential election against then-President Donald Trump by using threats and influence to censor news damaging to Democrat nominee Joe Biden, and a bombshell report lays out the stunning findings.
The House Judiciary Committee and its Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government released an interim report titled, “Election Interference: How the FBI ‘Prebunked’ A True Story About the Biden Family’s Corruption in Advance of the 2020 Presidential Election.,” the Committee announced.
“The interim report focuses on the coordination between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Big Tech to suppress allegations about Biden family influence peddling in advance of the 2020 election,” the Committee revealed.
“Testimony from key FBI and Big Tech personnel and subpoenaed nonpublic internal documents and communications obtained by the Committee and Select Subcommittee show that in the months before the election, the FBI provided social media companies with specific warnings, including:
A statement from the Committee reveals:
Beginning in early 2020, the FBI embarked on a concerted campaign to preemptively debunk—or “prebunk”—allegations about the Biden family’s influence peddling. Federal agencies repeatedly warned social media platforms about a pre-election Russian influence operation relating to Hunter Biden and the Ukrainian company Burisma.
In response, some platforms adopted new content moderation policies specifically designed to address hacked materials. Then, when the New York Post reported on Biden family influence peddling the morning of October 14, 2020, Big Tech did exactly what it had been primed to do.
The social media companies obediently treated the article as a potential Russian hack-and-leak operation and applied their content moderation policies to censor it, prevent it from spreading, and hide it from the American people. As a consequence, millions of Americans cast their presidential vote unaware of serious, credible allegations of misconduct levied against one of the two candidates. This censorship served to benefit one candidate over the other and wrongfully affected the 2020 election.
Today, these companies and their executives belatedly admit that their censorship was wrong. Although the FBI conditioned Big Tech to believe any allegations about Hunter Biden were Russian disinformation, the social media companies are far from blameless. Internal messages obtained by the Committee and Select Subcommittee show that senior executives at the social media platforms knew the dangerous consequences of their censorship decisions, but recognized that their decision to censor the true story would affect the way a potential incoming Biden-Harris Administration viewed them “more than anything else.”

All the companies that particpated in the concerted campaign to censor and influence voters that the information converning the Joe Biden Family was selling influence advantages should all be fined heavy fines to make it perfectly clear this is unacceptable behavior by corporations and individuals. Fines should be levied in the amounts of hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars for the lies, deception, and censorship of the truth told to the voting public. It is going on today which only drives a divsion wedge further into the American public to the point we have never seen before. The additional lies and deception by any member of Congress should subject them to diciplinary proceedings up to and including expulsion from Congress if proven valid and ruled on by the SCOTUS.
