How Feds Conspired to Censor and Discredit the Hunter Biden Laptop Story
New details show the depths of the government-led information operation to interfere in the 2020 election. What's in store for 2024?
The Feds’ Hunter Biden Laptop Scandal Is More Egregious Than We Knew
In issuing an Independence Day injunction freezing federal government-led speech policing, U.S. District Judge Terry A. Doughty heaped particular scorn on the FBI for its interference in the 2020 presidential election, namely by grooming and deceiving social media companies into suppressing the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story.
New revelations emanating from the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government about the Bureau’s apparent press to quash the laptop story—just as authorities, including the FBI, allegedly hid the laptop itself—show the effort to have been perhaps even more egregious than Judge Doughty knew.
The still-burgeoning scandal appears to be a case study in how the mass public-private surveillance and censorship regime operated to advance its political interests—in this instance, interests of the highest order in helping its favored presidential candidate secure victory.
Seen in its broader context, the government-driven effort to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story should now firmly be understood to have been one leg of a concerted, long-running campaign by the U.S. security state to protect the Bidens through obstructing investigations into their alleged corruption and possible criminality, and to protect itself through covering up the obstruction.
