FBI Office Investigating Hunter Biden Sent Twitter Numerous Censorship Requests Right Before 2020 Election

[Federalist] Emails released on Saturday as part of the latest dump of the "Twitter Files" reveal that the week before the 2020 presidential election, the FBI
...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...
field office investigating Hunter Biden

...son of President Joe: cashiered from the Navy, a crackhead, wheeler dealer, leg humper, horn dog, and general all around ne'er do well. We're supposed to feel sorry for him...
sent multiple censorship requests to Twitter — so many in fact, a top attorney for the tech giant found it "odd." This blockbuster detail from the weekend came mere days after the FBI issued a statement framing coverage of the "Twitter Files" as "misinformation" being peddled by "conspiracy theorists."

The FBI has "some folks in the Baltimore field office and at HQ that are just doing keyword searches for violations," then-Twitter legal executive Stacia Cardille stressed in a Nov. 3, 2020, email to Jim Baker, the then-deputy general counsel for Twitter. "This is probably the 10th request I have dealt with in the last 5 days," Cardille continued, before telling Baker to let her know if he had any other questions."

Less than an hour later, Baker responded to Cardille, noting it was "odd" that the FBI is "searching for violations of our policies."

Independent journalist Matt Taibbi published these emails as part of a 50-something Christmas Eve "Twitter Files" thread that he remarked showed "the FBI acting as doorman to a vast program of social media surveillance and censorship, encompassing agencies across the federal government — from the State Department to the Pentagon to the CIA."

The entire thread is newsworthy, but that FBI agents in both the Baltimore field office and at FBI headquarters were running keyword searches for supposed Twitter violations proves hugely significant because both offices were involved in the Hunter Biden investigation.

While the Delaware U.S. Attorney’s Office is — and was at the time of the 2020 election — handling the investigation into Hunter Biden, reportedly for potential money laundering and tax crimes, there is no separate Delaware FBI field office. Rather, the Baltimore FBI field office covers all of Delaware for the bureau and thus supported (and continues to support) the Delaware U.S. Attorney’s Office in its investigation of Hunter Biden.

We also know from multiple FBI whistleblowers that FBI headquarters entangled itself in the Hunter Biden probe: In July 2022, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, announced that "multiple FBI whistleblowers, including those in senior positions," had claimed that "in August of 2020, FBI supervisory intelligence analyst Brian Auten opened an assessment, which was used by a team of agents at FBI headquarters to improperly discredit and falsely claim that derogatory information about Biden’s activities was disinformation, causing investigative activity and sourcing to be shut down."

#1 No, that FBI office wasn't "investigating" Hunter Biden. That office was blocking and running interference for Joe and Hunter Biden. I suspect it still is.

Very likely a special Task Force. Let's call it what it is, shall we ?

#2 They'll eventually charge him with a minor tax violation and call it "Done"

#3 I wonder if my company is getting FBI input on our dress code compliance.

#4 Name those douchebags that gave the orders and who actually did the censorship rather than just what 'FBI Office' they worked at.
There are good folks that work for the FBI and I'm sure they want their names and agency cleared and to do that identify the jerks.

And BTW How about those Ducks! ; )

#5 Baron Trump probably had two agents assigned to watch him play Fortnight. You got to be seriously demented if you need an entire FBI task force to keep a lid on your exploits.

#6 At #4. If there were good folks at the FBI we would know all the names and details of the corruption already. Sadly most of our institutions are incredibly broke, corrupt, beyond repair….

#8 I know one agent very well and a few others that are stellar. I won't say I know inside info, as the old if I told you I'd have to kill you comes out. But I know their character. The FBI is so large with so many divisions and locations I maintain there is still a lot of good there. I see it as an upward battle and possibly being outnumbered.
Airandee, I hope you're wrong as I do pray they aren't beyond repair.
In my view the corruption can't continue if America is to survive

#9 Nice last-minute win, Jan!

#10 We have a few retired FBI folk commenting here — disgust at current patterns has been made very clear. The question becomes whether the good ones need to be repurposed elsewhere, or whether the organization itself can be cleaned out.

Elon Musk is demonstrating the necessary skills to take on the task, regardless, and after his work at Twitter will have lists of those who must be regardless.

#11 Sunlight is a good disinfectant. I never thought they would let Musk do what he has done.

#12 will have lists of those who must be regardless.

This and my next comment were made on my cellphone. I probably meant something like removed instead of regardless there, but it is long enough since that I cannot be certain. For which I apologize.

This comment was made on my iPad.
