Big Tech companies knew that they were influencing the 2020 election by covering up the Hunter Biden laptop story but they did it anyway to “colour the way an incoming Biden administration views us,” according to a new report by the House Judiciary Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.
The report shows damning evidence that the FBI met with Big Tech to pre-bunk the story about the Biden’s links to foreign influence money for months before the story broke. This was done during President Trump’s administration so who they were working against their own President at the time to get President Biden elected. Tech companies were told that the Hunter Biden story would be Russian interference but they knew that they would not be able to prove that. They didn’t care because they thought the government would run cover on their lack of proof. They called the government their “secret squirrel partners.”
They also joked that they would not get bad press for censoring a story because “The Press is only as good to you as you are bad to Trump.”
Did tech companies know that this was election interference? They did. In one message thread they said this: “When we get hauled up to the hill to testify on why we influenced the 2020 election, we can say we have been meeting for YEARS with the US gov’t to plan for it.”
And because this censorship push went so well for the government, they kept doing when under the Biden/Harris administration, censoring Americans for valid questions and true statements about the Covid pandemic.
