Power without accountability.
FBI Agent Testifies About Bureau’s Involvement in Social Media Censorship
An FBI agent has provided sworn testimony that the bureau’s leadership was directly involved in colluding with Big Tech companies to censor certain political information during the 2020 presidential election.
Story continues below advertisementAs reported by Just The News, Elvis Chan, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s Cyber Branch in San Francisco, provided the information to lawyers for the Attorneys General of Missouri and Louisiana, as part of a lawsuit filed by those two states regarding government coordination with Big Tech to censor alleged COVID-19 “misinformation.” Chan testified that he was in charge of a “command post” in San Francisco that played a crucial role in a nationwide censorship operation.
Chan said that his office would sometimes enlist the help of other federal officials, including federal prosecutors, lawyers for the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ), as well as FBI field offices all across the country, before making direct requests to social media companies to censor any content that the office determined to be “misinformation.”
“We would receive some responses from the social media companies,” Chan revealed. “I remember in some cases they would relay that they had taken down the posts. In other cases, they would say that this did not violate their terms of service.”
Chan’s testimony raised new concerns among Republican lawmakers, as it further revealed the true extent of the FBI’s direct role in censoring conservative political statements in the weeks and months leading up to the 2020 election.
“Should be very concerning to everyone who cares about the First Amendment, who cares about civil liberties,” said Congressman James Comer (R-Ky.), who is likely to be the next Chairman of the House Oversight Committee. “This is wrong.”
“This should be a violation of the Hatch Act,” Comer continued. “Apparently, there’s a loophole in the Hatch Act that doesn’t impact social media. We’re going to change that legislation next ye

The Federal Bureau of Investigation was once a good decent all American law and order institution.
Now it’s been terribly corrupt by subversive influence of such Socialists ,Communist pro -Sharia characters as Nancy Pelosi and that overseas villain ,George Soros ,and likewise the FBI ,as seen in that invasion /raid that the FBI is now a tool organization of Kamala Harris with their comrades of the Red/Green alliance.
To corruption of the FBI by the insidious sinister forces .just mentioned above, is so extensive that reform would be able to straighten that now crooked institution.
Therefore, that means that the FBI can no longer be numbered or counted as all American organization engaging in the right actions for the Republic of the United States and the security and safety of the American citizens.
Such horrendous as this is a reflection of the Wisdom found in the Bible. Which reads, “What is crooked cannot be made straight, and what is lacking cannot be numbered.” Ecclesiastes 1:15. [N.K.J.V.]

The FBI is no longer the grand all American patriotic law enforcement institution to it once was in the past. Now it’s only been influenced thoroughly infiltrated and corrupted and infected by the politically correct insidious and sinister activists of the Red/Green alliance and now the FBI is their tool as well as the stooge organization acting for Nancy Pelosi and the others of the “power elate” un-American subversives as her.

The agent can testify all he wants. Nothing will happen until the corrupt FBI is completely disbanded.

The largest scandal, conspiracy, collusion, treason and acts of sedition in our country’s history – and these criminals will walk – you just watch.
If something like this were to be uncovered in 1800, federal authorities would already have most of these people in stocks and at the end of a rope before summer. The evidence is in writing for Gods sake!
What is it going to take for us to slough-off this form of tyranny – and start over?

Yeah, right. With Der Trump in the White House and Bill Barr as AJ, the FBI was censoring conservatives.
If there’s nothing illegal here–no sign of any–skip the hyperventilation and hysteria.

Two words…’Sovereign Immunity’ and they know it. Nothing will happen other than some sacrificial lambs shoved out the door with golden parachutes attached.
