Last Friday, Elon Musk released documents and information relating
to Twitter’s interference in the 2020 presidential election by censoring the
New York Post’s Hunter Biden reporting.
And yesterday, Musk reportedly fired Twitter’s General Counsel,
Jim Baker, for his involvement in the censorship scandal. Baker was General Counsel at the FBI and was
involved in Crossfire Hurricane. You
can’t make this up.
Musk also released information that showed the Biden campaign was
involved in censorship efforts. The information shows that Twitter employees knew
they had no legitimate basis to censor the Hunter Biden reporting but proceeded
anyway.
Twitter also removed links and blocked the reporting from being
shared by direct messaging on its platform. Folks that fought the good fight
against Twitter’s extraordinary censorship were locked out of their accounts.
The documents make clear that Twitter was effectively an arm of
the Democratic Party and the Biden campaign. Twitter essentially gave the Biden
campaign a massive in-kind campaign contribution.
What Twitter and other Big Tech companies did in 2020 with respect
to censorship was as much an outrage then as it is today.
Simply put, what they did is expected of communist China not the
United States of America.
Reports also indicate that the FBI warned Twitter during weekly
meetings before the 2020 election that hack and leak operations involving
Hunter Biden material were likely in October of 2020. Well, the FBI had the
Hunter Biden laptop since December 2019. Information on it has been verified by
liberal news outlets.
Didn’t the FBI do the same or did they fail to do their due
diligence? I find the FBI’s actions in advance of the 2020 election to be more
than suspicious.
When Senator Johnson and I released our first report on the Biden
family’s connections to communist China on September
23, 2020, it was swept up into the Hunter Biden censorship fiasco not long
after. So, too, was our second report which we released on November
18, 2020.
But, we were more than just censored. Before we even made the
first report public, the liberal media and some of our Democratic colleagues
tried to smear us with false claims that our work was connected to Russian
disinformation.
They went into full Joe Biden protection mode.
So, here we have four elements to this fact pattern that ought to
shake every member of the Senate to their core.
First, the FBI got their hands on Twitter via these weekly
briefings and planted the seeds regarding future hacked material relating to
Hunter Biden.
Second, the FBI
improperly labeled information it possessed on Hunter Biden as disinformation.
Third, the FBI provided an unnecessary August
2020 briefing to me and Senator Johnson that was used by some Democrats and
the liberal media to try and undermine our Biden investigation.
Fourth, the liberal media repeatedly and falsely labeled my and
Senator Johnson’s investigation as Russian disinformation.
All of that happened in the run-up
to the 2020 presidential election.
In the long run these false allegations and bad faith efforts against
me and Senator Johnson didn’t work.
For example, this Congress, Senator Johnson and I gave floor
speeches on March
28, 2022, March
29, 2022 and April
5, 2022, that introduced bank records connecting Hunter and James Biden to
the communist Chinese regime.
And we sent hundreds of pages of bank records to U.S. Attorney
Weiss on October
26, 2022 showing the same connections – the same connections we made in our
2020 reports. These are authentic bank records.
They aren’t Russian disinformation.
President Biden still owes the American people answers about his
connections to Hunter and James Biden’s business deals and arrangements. He
owes the American people an explanation as to how much he knew about their
business and personal relationships with communist China.
On October
13 of this year, I wrote to the FBI telling them that I know it possesses
documents that indicate Joe Biden was aware of Hunter Biden’s business
arrangements and may have been involved in some.
In conclusion, since Senator Johnson and I began our Biden
investigation in August 2019, our work has been substantiated. Big Tech censorship may have succeeded in the
short term; however, the truth eventually sees the light of day.
I thank the new Twitter owner for his transparency. Accountability
should follow.
