If the FBI is telling social media what stories to bury, that’s a problem because FBI officials aren’t elected. We can’t vote them out if we don’t like what they’re doing. That’s why it’s a bad idea for unelected bureaucrats to have a lot of power.

That’s why it’s a threat to democracy. With elected politicians, we can always un-elect them. Can’t do that with FBI agents or Dr Faucci. So people
like that shouldn’t be setting policy. They should be advising those who do.

This doesn’t mean i think January 6th was a good thing. It’s a separate issue.

I still haven’t seen anything to suggest the FBI was trying to help Biden to hide anything ?

I saw a general message sent to all social media and news media to be aware of Russia influencing

And the Hunters laptop origin story is on par with Monica’s giz stained dress she happened to keep for over a year with Linda Tripp advice

Hunters laptop was clearly Planted to discredit Biden since that failed now they blame the FBI

Hell you have

Jim Jordan claiming on the floor of the house that the Biden administration has Weaponized the government against the American people..

It’s all theater for the republican party

"I still haven’t seen anything to suggest the FBI was trying to help Biden to hide anything ?"

Come on Wayne. Mark Zuckerberg stated the FBI told them to watch out for Russian disinformation regarding Hunter, just before the laptop story broke. At that time, the FBI had the laptop, so they obviously knew it wasn't Russian disinformation.

"Jim Jordan claiming on the floor of the house that the Biden administration has Weaponized the government against the American people.."

The FBI misled a FISA court to get surveillance on Carter Page. The FBI went to Facebook and told them to be alert for bogus stories regarding Hunter (and as far as I know, the only thing Facebook censored regarding Hunter was the laptop, which we now know was legit). When the FBI arrested Roget Stone, they did so with a fully armed tactical team, after alerting CNN so they could be there to cover it. We all saw the emails between Trump-hating FBI agents Strzok and his mistress.


It's not the whole DOJ. But there's some politically motivated stuff happening there.

If you don't see it, it's because you don't want to see it, because it doesn't serve your narrative.

Do you know what's on the laptop? You seem convinced already it's a nothingburger.

"It’s all theater for the republican party"

As was the Russia hoax investigation.

Elections have consequences. It's the GOPs turn now. Is the GOP supposed to let the dems engage in political theater, and not do the same when it's their turn? What's good for the goose, right? Or is there some reason why only the Democrats get to engage in political witch hunts?

Prove it. I’ll wait.

Zuckerberg said it. Was he lying to help Republicans? Is that what you're saying? I'm truly sorry if you don't happen to like it, but the CEO of Facebook who is a die hard liberal, claimed that's what happened.

"Because I don't like it", isn't an acceptable reason to deny what Zuckerberg said.

Spence, the FBI had possession of the laptop. They knew it wasn't Russian disinformation.

From BBC. Bold is my emphasis.

Zuckerberg told Rogan: "The background here is that the FBI came to us - some folks on our team - and was like 'hey, just so you know, you should be on high alert. We thought there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election, we have it on notice that basically there's about to be some kind of dump that's similar to that'."
He said the FBI did not warn Facebook about the Biden story in particular - only that Facebook thought it "fit that pattern".

I've said many times that Zuckerberg never claimed the FBI specifically warned them about the laptop. But Zuckerberg did say they were specifically warned about Russian disinformation concerning Hunter Biden.

Bryan, the FBI had the laptop in their possession, there was absolutely no reason for anyone to speculate that it was Russian disinformation. But with exactly zero evidence, that's how the left spun it.

Look, it's not a big story, America had an election and the voters obviously didn't care. But let's be honest about what happened. Part of being honest about what happened is admitting the FBI never specified the laptop.

And part of being honest is admitting that MANY of the outlets that banned the story, now (now that it can't hurt Biden) say it was wrong to ban it, because it was legit. two years later they're conceding that.

It's not illegal for a private company to have a political bias. If Foxnews can be biased, so can Facebook. But that doesn't mean we can't be honest about it.
