To wit:<\/p>\n<p>1) An IRS probe into the Bidens money laundering payments from hostile nations \u2014 the normal outcome of which would have ended his candidacy \u2014 was instead given a stand-down order<\/p>\n<p>2) The FBI &amp; IRS wanted to search Biden\u2019s house in September 2020 but were given a stand down order.<\/p>\n<p>3) The<br \/>\n@FBI<br \/>\nauthenticated Hunter\u2019s laptop a year before the NYPost first reported on its contents<\/p>\n<p>4) Rather than use the laptop\u2019s voluminous documentation of myriad felonies to initiate criminal investigations, the FBI hatched a plot to warn social media companies of an imminent \u201chack &amp; leak\u201d operation of what they heavily suggested was Russian disinformation<\/p>\n<p>5) The FBI used its 2016 Russia collusion probe \u2014 which the Durham probe has since proven was essentially an extension of the Clinton campaign \u2014 to rationalize its meddling in the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>6) The FBI also conducted an influence operation with various reporters at major newspapers to convince them that forthcoming damaging reporting about Biden that they knew was true was in fact not<\/p>\n<p>7) The FBI was spying on Giuliani when he shared the laptop\u2019s contents with the NYPost<\/p>\n<p>8) When the FBI told Twitter &amp; Facebook a Russian disinformation campaign was coming, they had already concluded Russia wasn\u2019t trying to game the election<\/p>\n<p>9) In their attempt to corroborate their own rumor of Russian electoral influence, the FBI became aggressive with its demands for user data from Twitter, eventually getting shutdown for seeking users\u2019 private info without a warrant<\/p>\n<p>10) Nonetheless, in the preceding years, the FBI established a beachhead inside Twitter, with an operations center of former agents who communicated via their own dedicated slack channel. These ex-agents included Jim Baker, the FBI\u2019s former top counsel who played a central role in the FBI\u2019s Trump\/Russia scam, as well as Comey\u2019s former chief of staff, Dawn Burton, who started the FBI\u2019s Russia collusion probe.<\/p>\n<p>11) The CIA, in collusion with the Biden campaign, seeded disinformation claiming the laptop was itself Russian disinformation. The major media used this as a pretext to avoid reporting on its contents and instead attack those who were.<\/p>\n<p>12) The FBI also arranged a meeting with Sens. Grassley &amp; Johnson about supposed Russian disinformation &amp; Hunter Biden.<\/p>\n<p>13) The FBI then used this briefing with the senators to justify quashing their own agents\u2019 probe into the Bidens\u2019 corruption.<\/p>\n<p>14) When the story broke mere weeks before the election \u2014 one that polling later indicated would have altered enough Democrat votes to send Trump to a second term \u2014 Twitter &amp; Facebook orchestrated an unprecedented &amp; anti-democratic mass censorship campaign.<\/p>\n<p>15) When Twitter initially resisted censoring the story, it was Jim Baker who convinced them to do so (despite the FBI having known for a year the informartion was true).<\/p>\n<p>16) In December 2020, after the operation\u2019s success and Biden\u2019s \u201cvictory,\u201d the FBI agents working at &amp; with Twitter celebrated the outcome.<\/p>\n<p>17) The FBI subsequently paid Twitter $3.5 million for the staff hours expended on their influence operations.<\/p>\n<p>18) At the time Trump was being impeached for asking Ukraine to investigate Biden\u2019s alleged corruption in Ukraine, the FBI &amp; IRS already knew the Bidens had indeed laundered more than $10 million from Burisma, via fake companies and dozens of bank accounts, while at the same time VP Biden had used U.S. aid as leverage in getting the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Burisma fired.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. And that\u2019s to say nothing of Democrats orchestrating a state-by-state campaign to change voting rules to enable the widespread adoption of voting boxes \u2026 Left-wing activist groups, funded in part by Facebook, facilitated the exploitation of these drop-off boxes on behalf of the Democratic Party. That part may not have been illegal since they simply changed the rules, but it\u2019s especially shady since it was done alongside federal health agencies then-knowingly overstating the threat of Covid, which was used as the rationale for the change of rules in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>P.P.S. And this is just what we know despite the feds\u2019 best efforts. Imagine how much we don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tomselliott\/status\/1672641355913330688?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1672641355913330688%7Ctwgr%5E214bc7adf095292d65c23f654ea5afad147fa361%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&#038;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zerohedge.com%2Fpolitical%2Fblatant-political-corruption-rot-americas-democracy-explained-under-1000-words\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/tomselliott\/status\/1672641355913330688?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1672641355913330688%7Ctwgr%5E214bc7adf095292d65c23f654ea5afad147fa361%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&#038;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zerohedge.com%2Fpolitical%2Fblatant-political-corruption-rot-americas-democracy-explained-under-1000-words<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-173008","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173008","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=173008"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173008\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=173008"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=173008"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=173008"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
