This story isn’t over. Heads should roll over this elaborate plot to muzzle the Hunter Biden laptop story, which the FBI knew was authentic from day one. Michael Shellenberger, Alex Gutentag, and Catherine Herridge wrote in Public about the now-released, though heavily redacted chats, the bureau had among top officials and the agent who acted like the liaison between the FBI and Silicon Valley. The bureau had an extensive team working with social media companies to suppress certain opinions and stories while trying to influence public opinion. That operation has blessedly been obliterated.

The FBI silenced an employee who tried to tell Twitter the Hunter Biden laptop story was real on the day it came out, newly released chat logs show.

On October 14, 2020, the day the New York Post first reported on Hunter Biden’s laptop, the FBI told employees “do not discuss [the] Biden matter” and imposed a “gag order” on an analyst who tried to confirm the story’s veracity to Twitter during a meeting, according to chat logs released by the House Judiciary Committee.

Two former Politico reporters, Marc Caputo of Axios and Tara Palmeri of Puck, claimed there were instances in which they felt their ex-employer either killed or resisted negative stories about former President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden on a podcast earlier this week.

Trump issued an executive order Monday revoking the security clearances of at least 51 former intelligence officials who helped coordinate an effort to discredit reporting that former President Joe Biden’s son Hunter had left his laptop at a computer repair business. 

The story, originally reported by the New York Post, revealed details of the Biden family’s dealings with foreign governments. 

The 2020 letter signed by 51 former intelligence officials discrediting the Hunter Biden laptop story was fueled by a phone call from then-Biden campaign adviser Antony Blinken to former Deputy CIA Director Michael Morrell, according to a House investigation.

Mr. Morrell told investigators that the letter was quickly drafted as “a talking point” for Joe Biden’s upcoming debate with President Trump.

Hunter Biden is dropping his lawsuit accusing Rudy Giuliani and the former New York City mayor’s ex-lawyer of manipulating data found on his infamous laptop. 

Biden’s lawyer Abbe Lowell filed the stipulation for dismissal Thursday in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. 

The attorney asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit against Giuliani and Robert Costello “without prejudice, with each party bearing its own attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses.”

Politics is a cynical business, but it’s unusually cynical for a president to blame his failed re-election bid on massive vote fraud for which he has no evidence.

It’s cynical for a presidential campaign to fabricate and promote evidence that its rival is a Russian agent.

It’s cynical for a candidate to coordinate with the country’s intelligence establishment to lie to voters and say his son’s embarrassing laptop was fabricated by a foreign power to benefit his rival, the sitting president.
