FBI Responds To Zuckerberg’s Bombshell Rogan Revelation Bureau Helped Bury Hunter Biden Laptop Story | Eastern North Carolina Now

    The FBI finally weighed in on Mark Zuckerberg's claim that Facebook suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story after being warned about "Russian propaganda" by the bureau ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

    Zuckerberg, who founded the company which is now known as Meta, told podcast giant Joe Rogan this week that Facebook restricted sharing of the story because the FBI had warned the company just before it broke that a Russian disinformation dump was coming. The revelation, coupled with whistleblowers' allegations the bureau barred agents from investigating it, raises questions about the FBI's role in the election.

    "The FBI routinely notifies U.S. private sector entities, including social media providers, of potential threat information, so that they can decide how to better defend against threats," the bureau said in a statement Friday night, adding that it "cannot ask, or direct, companies to take action on information received."

    While Facebook and Twitter, which also silenced the New York Post bombshell ahead of the election, are private companies not technically bound by the First Amendment, any action taken under government pressure could become a constitutional issue.

    Photos, videos, emails, and text messages on the abandoned laptop, which were also ignored by legacy news outlets, paint the president's son as a drug-addled, venal degenerate and raise troubling questions about President Joe Biden's own role in his son's corrupt dealings. A recent poll by TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics suggested that 79% of Americans believe President Trump likely would have won re-election if voters had known about the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop and that it was authentic.

    Long after the election, media outlets like CNN and the Washington Post, which had dismissed the laptop as Russian disinformation, acknowledged it was authentic.

    Zuckerberg told Rogan he couldn't remember if the FBI alluded specifically to the laptop, but after the FBI released its statement, Meta tweeted that the warning had been general in nature.

    "The FBI shared general warnings about foreign interference - nothing specific about Hunter Biden," the statement said.

    Zuckerberg's revelation came on the heels of Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) disclosing that multiple whistleblowers from inside the FBI have told him they were barred by their superiors from investigating the laptop.

    The computer, which Hunter Biden abandoned at a Wilmington, Delaware, computer repair shop, is believed to have been in the possession of the FBI since late 2019, more than a year before the election. It contains photos of Hunter Biden naked and smoking crack, unseemly discussions about his family, and sexual activities, and references to the role of the "Big Guy" in corrupt dealings with foreign entities. The "Big Guy" has been named by former Hunter Biden associate Tony Bobulinski as Joe Biden.

    FBI Director Christopher Wray told lawmakers earlier this month that he could not comment on what, if anything, the bureau is doing regarding the laptop. But he said he found reports that the bureau refused to pursue a laptop investigation ahead of the election "deeply troubling."

    Johnson called on Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz to investigate why the bureau, which is part of the DOJ, has apparently refused to investigate the laptop.

Big Tech Platforms are acting as the defacto policing /judgement force of the internet by deciding whose Speech is most relevant, which Speech might languish, and which Speech must die, never to be resurrected. Is this what you expected to occur on OUR internet when we began expending so much of our time on this medium?

  Yes, I have always trusted a larger entity to divine for me what is true and what is real.

  No, I instead expected the internet to become a conduit to information that might enlighten my perspective by the choices I make while using OUR internet.

  I never think this deeply; this makes my brain hurt.

Inarguably, the policies of the Democrats in congress and Joe Biden as the Executive is plunging the United States into a recession, if we are not already there; a recession that was completely avoidable. Will abrupt changes in policies occur in time?

  Yes, the Democrats have a bold plan, yet to be revealed, to save us.

  No, there will have to be a complete undoing of the damage done by these Democrats.

  I can't do simple math, so how am I to understand the concept of basic economics.

Are you in favor of the Joe Biden Executive Order, just weeks before the midterm elections, to shift the Higher Education debt, of up to $10,000.00 per individual, to the taxpayers of this Republic (estimated at 1/2 trillion)?

  Yes, it costs so much to go to college, and the right job is so hard to find in my focus of study.

  No, one's individual debt should be born by the beneficiary of that debt; certainly NOT by others that work to support their own families and pay their own debts, and their taxes.

  I am bereft of knowledge, so who cares?

Is it fair or even patriotic to threaten states that do not conform to the Democratic Socialists' mandate to control the outcome of Free and Fair elections enacted by constitutionally guaranteed states' legislatures?

  Yes, all elections must be federalized so that the whim of the majority political party can set the standard for all elections.

  No, Our Founders purposefully decentralized elections by guaranteeing only states' legislatures the independent right to enact Free and Fair elections.

  I don't vote and I don't care.
