An FBI Employee Confirmed the Authenticity of the Hunter Biden Laptop in October 2020.
The FBI Immediately Slapped a Gag Order on the Entire Matter to Keep Anyone from Repeating the Confirmation to Anyone Else.

This isn't the FBI trying to remain non-partisan. Remember, they organized a "tabletop simulation" which coached the media on how to suppress a "hypothetical" story about Hunter Biden's laptop being revealed to the public by, supposedly, Russian hackers. The FBI really set up this "hypothetical" wargame to coach the media to be prepared for this eventuality and censor the story when it came out.

The gag order was imposed because the FBI was running a psyop on the country pretending this laptop, which they'd already confirmed was real, was a Russian fake, and they didn't want any of their employees admitting it was all real.

The FBI said it didn't interfere in the 2020 election, but it did. It tricked Twitter & Facebook into censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story. Now, newly released chat messages show the FBI issued a "gag order" after an employee accidentally confirmed the laptop's authenticity.

BREAKING: FBI Imposed "Gag Order" About Hunter Biden Laptop After Employee Accidentally Confirmed Its Authenticity To Twitter

Newly released internal FBI chat messages reveal senior bureau officials actively shutting down discussion of the laptop's credibility days before the 2020 Presidential election

This is a CatherineHerridgeReports @C__Herridge / Public @Shellenberger Joint Investigation

An FBI official admitted to House investigators that an FBI employee had inadvertently confirmed the authenticity of Hunter Biden's laptop to Twitter on a conference call the morning of October 14, 2020, the day the New York Post published a story about it.

"I recall that when the question came up, an intelligence analyst assigned to the Criminal Investigative Division said something to the effect of, 'Yes, the laptop is real'," the then Russia unit chief testified in a closed door transcribed interview.

"I believe it was an (Office of General Counsel) attorney assigned to the (Foreign Influence Task Force) stepped in and said, 'We will not comment further on this topic.'"

For the first time, and with a change of administration, the FBI has now turned over to GOP House investigators the internal chat messages that show Bureau leadership actively silenced its employees.

The FBI, which had a special task force to counter foreign election interference, could have set the record straight by confirming the laptop was real and the subject of an ongoing criminal probe. Instead, FBI leadership allowed the false narrative about the laptop to gain momentum.

The FBI provided the chat messages to congressional investigators with heavy redactions.

Some of the redactions on the chats are marked "OGC AGC," which appears to mean that they were made by the FBI's Office of General Counsel and Associate General Counsel.

An individual whose name is blacked out, tells Elvis M. Chan, the San Francisco-based FBI special agent tasked with interacting with social media companies, there was a "gag order" on discussion of Hunter Biden's laptop. In a separate exchange, Chan is told "official response no commen(t)."

In the chat, the FBI officials showed awareness that the laptop may have contained evidence of criminal activity.

Asked Chan, "actually what kind of case is the laptop thing? corruption? campaign financing?"

Another FBI employee responds, "CLOSE HOLD --" after which the response is redacted.

To which Chan responds, "oh crap" appearing to underscore the serious nature of the probe, which included felony tax charges. Chan adds, "ok. It ends here".

In the same conversation, Chan is asked if "Anyone discussing that NYPost article on the Biden's?" Chan responds, "yes we are. c d confirmed an active investigation. No further comment." "C D" is likely shorthand for the FBI's Criminal Division.

Said another FBI employee, whose name was redacted by the Bureau, "please do not discuss biden matter."

We asked for a response from the bureau and the FBI employees identified in the chat messages. An FBI spokesman declined to comment.

We go in-depth on the chat messages for subscribers!
