Fed-backed censorship machine targeted 20 news sites

Trump called for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former Presidents Barack Hussein Obama, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton to be investigated and prosecuted for their own mishandling of classified documents.

The fact that they haven’t faced the same consequences, he added, is a sign that, one,

America contains “a two-tier system of justice,”
Given the disparity in handling by the FBI and outcomes which exactly align with political party or lean gives credence to this.

How many Democrats have had their homes raided by FBI SWAT teams when it clearly wasn't necessary? Seems all to frequent to be the case for non-Democrats.

and two, the Department of Justice’s investigation into him is nothing but “a new hoax” — “the document hoax.”

Russian Collusion was a hoax. One that FBI submitted fraudulent FISA warrants and extensions for, FBI lawyers altered evidence and documentation for. The FBI wielded as a political weapon to enable FBI spying on an opposition political campaign - talk about destroying all norms.

All true.
Just a couple of weeks ago Zuckerberg in an interview with Joe Rogan said the FBI/DOJ asked Zuckerberg to censor articles often claiming them as Russian disinformation. The New York Post stories on Hunter Biden's laptop were certainly not the first ones. And they requested that social media censor that story too. But everything they have claimed Russian disinformation they have been proved false. All the claims the left made that Trump was guilty of Russian collusion or even worse treason have been proved false after countless investigations. But that didn't stop lefties continue to repeat these falsehoods.
It was Obama that truly politicized our institutions. During Obama, Trump and now Biden the FBI/DOJ have been involved in presidential elections where they had no business engaging. There were days I struggled to figure out who was Obama. Some days he sounded like a Socialist and other days he sounded like a Fascist. I pondered for years trying to comprehend how the German people could be convinced that Jews were evil less than human. I concluded it was a media that was spewing propaganda and an education system including higher learning that were teaching the same crap. Sound familiar? It should. Replace Jew with Conservative today.

All true, and you can add to that list the 50 'Intelligence officers' to that same list.


It was all election manipulation on ideologically driven political propaganda, the stuff of the old Soviet Union state controlled media, and, frankly, worse.

This is 100% accurate and factual, and have we already forgotten Obama's IRS persecuting right leaning non-profit 501(c) organizations for the simple fact that they were right leaning?
I'm sure there are instances of the same in other federal agencies, because Obama was always thorough, never leaving a single stone unturned for political advantage, and suspect that there isn't a single federal agency which wasn't politicized by him, much to the detriment, both then and as we see now, nation's and it's people's.

I'm inclined to agree, considering that recent reports have shown us that a conservative anti-abortion pastor was raided by the FBI swat team. Add to that same FBI swat team raided list a number of conservative voices, none of the raids justifiable, and it's hard not to draw the historical German parallel nor the historical Soviet Union parallel.

If there's a thread to democracy, it's now what or whom the left claims it is, it is the left, which reinforces the truism, 'That which the left accuses others of doing is exactly what they themselves are guilty of'.

As far as the 50 intelligence officers that signed the letter claiming the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation have not been forgotten by Republicans in Congress. It is a done deal that the Republicans will win back the House and every week it is looking like they will win the Senate too. Let the investigations begin of the 50-intel personal none were ever elected to their positions be held to accountability.

There are 4 things I am aware of that McCarthy and others have pledged to do immediately gaining back the gavel ,
1. Remove Schiff and Swalwell from the Intel committee.
2. Warned Mayorkas to immediately start enforcing our immigration laws already on the books or face Impeachment.
3. The Jan. 6 committee will continue to show all the evidence that had been suppressed when Pelosi was in charge that did not agree with the narrative they were pushing.
4. Addressing all the whistleblowers from the FBI coming up on 30 at the moment revealing a political agenda of a politicized DOJ/FBI.

Do you realize how weak it sounds when you pick up one of our catch phrases and try to pretend it’s yours?
 
-snip- Mr. Morgan said he could not account for the claims in the report that the project sought to “enrage and energize Democrats” and “depress turnout” among Republicans, partly by emphasizing accusations that Mr. Moore had pursued teenage girls when he was a prosecutor in his 30s.

“The research project was intended to help us understand how these kind of campaigns operated,” said Mr. Morgan. “We thought it was useful to work in the context of a real election but design it to have almost no impact.”

Considering all I am presenting below, what is your point?

I clicked the link at the bottom of your post, it resolved to this,

BTW, here is a journalist's account of the "revolvernews" you've been persuaded to amplify, from the newspaper in the city where Jonathan Moore's business is located.

February 15, 2019
"...Efforts by Morgan and New Knowledge’s director of research, Renee DiResta, to connect with other researchers and policy makers to better understand the social internet has led the company to notable work. Last year, New Knowledge produced a 101-page report for the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee that revealed the scope of Russia’s effort during the 2016 election to cause discord among American citizens and sway the election.

The report describes how Russia, through its Internet Research Agency, manufactured fake social media accounts on virtually every platform to create fraudulent support of President Donald Trump. The agency, New Knowledge reported, aggravated existing divisions in American society, tried to suppress voting and targeted specific groups such as black voters.
...
During 2017’s Senate election in Alabama between Democrat Doug Jones, who would win, and Republican Roy Moore, Morgan was involved with a project that targeted 650,000 likely voters... Morgan has acknowledged that he worked with American Engagement Technologies, a technology startup funded by internet billionaire and Democratic supporter Reid Hoffman that is believed to be behind the project. However, Morgan said, his only role was in the creation of a fraudulent Facebook account, named “Alabama Conservative Politics,” and says he had no knowledge of any grander project to sway votes or create a bot network. His effort, Morgan said, was solely to better discern “countermessaging” tactics. ...In December, Morgan was one of five people who had their accounts suspended by Facebook. The social media site said the suspensions were for "coordinated inauthentic behavior on Facebook around the Alabama special election.."

I've seen too many congressional hearings, lead by either party, which haven't resolved or concluded anything, haven't resulted in referrals to the DOJ, and were largely peacocks posturing and bloviating for the cameras (which are far more present during Democrat led hearings).

OK, fine. Let's see it. Until then the peacocks posturing and bloviating is where I stand.

From my view the federal DC bureaucracy, to include congress, is so corrupt and is so skilled at obfuscating, at protecting their own even when cornered, I'm skeptical that even with these well justified congressional hearings nothing very much is going to change in the end. I guess you can call me a skeptic or a realist or a pessimist.
