     TWITTER FILES: PART 7

    The FBI & the Hunter Biden Laptop

    How the FBI & intelligence community discredited factual information about Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings both after and *before* The New York Post revealed the contents of his laptop on October 14, 2020 
    In Twitter Files #6, we saw the FBI relentlessly seek to exercise influence over Twitter, including over its content, its users, and its data.
     
    In Twitter Files #7, we present evidence pointing to an organized effort by representatives of the intelligence community (IC), aimed at senior executives at news and social media companies, to discredit leaked information about Hunter Biden before and after it was published. 
    Shortly before 7 pm ET on October 13, Hunter Biden’s lawyer, George Mesires, emails JP Mac Isaac.

    Hunter and Mesires had just learned from the New York Post that its story about the laptop would be published the next day.Image
    7. At 9:22 pm ET (6:22 PT), FBI Special Agent Elvis Chan sends 10 documents to Twitter’s then-Head of Site Integrity, Yoel Roth, through Teleporter, a one-way communications channel from the FBI to Twitter.Image
    8. The next day, October 14, 2020, The New York Post runs its explosive story revealing the business dealings of President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter. Every single fact in it was accurate.Image
    9. And yet, within hours, Twitter and other social media companies censor the NY Post article, preventing it from spreading and, more importantly, undermining its credibility in the minds of many Americans.

    Why is that? What, exactly, happened? 
    10. On Dec 2, @mtaibbi described the debate inside Twitter over its decision to censor a wholly accurate article.

    Since then, we have discovered new info that points to an organized effort by the intel community to influence Twitter & other platforms
     
    11. First, it's important to understand that Hunter Biden earned *tens of millions* of dollars in contracts with foreign businesses, including ones linked to China's government, for which Hunter offered no real work.
    Here's an overview by investigative journalist @peterschweizer 
    12. And yet, during all of 2020, the FBI and other law enforcement agencies repeatedly primed Yoel Roth to dismiss reports of Hunter Biden’s laptop as a Russian “hack and leak” operation.

    This is from a sworn declaration by Roth given in December 2020.

    fec.gov/files/legal/mu…Image
    13. They did the same to Facebook, according to CEO Mark Zuckerberg. “The FBI basically came to us [and] was like, ‘Hey... you should be on high alert. We thought that there was a lot of Russian propaganda in 2016 election. There's about to be some kind of dump similar to that.'" 
    14. Were the FBI warnings of a Russian hack-and-leak operation relating to Hunter Biden based on *any* new intel?

    No, they weren't

    “Through our investigations, we did not see any similar competing intrusions to what had happened in 2016,” admitted FBI agent Elvis Chan in Nov.ImageImageImageImage
     
    15. Indeed, Twitter executives *repeatedly* reported very little Russian activity.

    E.g., on Sept 24, 2020, Twitter told FBI it had removed 345 “largely inactive” accounts “linked to previous coordinated Russian hacking attempts.” They “had little reach & low follower accounts."Image
    16. In fact, Twitter debunked false claims by journalists of foreign influence on its platform

    "We haven’t seen any evidence to support that claim” by @oneunderscore__ @nbc News of foreign-controlled bots.

    “Our review thus far shows a small-scale domestic troll effort…”ImageImage
    17. After FBI asks about a WaPo story on alleged foreign influence in a pro-Trump tweet, Twitter's Roth says, "The article makes a lot of insinuations... but we saw no evidence that that was the case here (and in fact, a lot of strong evidence pointing in the other direction).”ImageImage
    18. It's not the first time that Twitter's Roth has pushed back against the FBI. In January 2020, Roth resisted FBI efforts to get Twitter to share data outside of the normal search warrant process.ImageImage
    19. Pressure had been growing:

    “We have seen a sustained (If uncoordinated) effort by the IC [intelligence community] to push us to share more info & change our API policies. They are probing & pushing everywhere they can (including by whispering to congressional staff).”Image
    20. Time and again, FBI asks Twitter for evidence of foreign influence & Twitter responds that they aren’t finding anything worth reporting.

    “[W]e haven’t yet identified activity that we’d typically refer to you (or even flag as interesting in the foreign influence context).”ImageImage
    21. Despite Twitter’s pushback, the FBI repeatedly requests information from Twitter that Twitter has already made clear it will not share outside of normal legal channels.Image
    22. Then, in July 2020, the FBI’s Elvis Chan arranges for temporary Top Secret security clearances for Twitter executives so that the FBI can share information about threats to the upcoming elections.Image
     
    23. On August 11, 2020, the FBI's Chan shares information with Twitter's Roth relating to the Russian hacking organization, APT28, through the FBI's secure, one-way communications channel, Teleporter.Image
    24. Recently, Yoel Roth told @karaswisher that he had been primed to think about the Russian hacking group APT28 before news of the Hunter Biden laptop came out.

    When it did, Roth said, "It set off every single one of my finely tuned APT28 hack-and-leap campaign alarm bells." 
    25. In Aug, 2020, FBI’s Chan asks Twitter: does anyone there have top secret clearance?

    When someone mentions Jim Baker, Chan responds, "I don't know how I forgot him" — an odd claim, given Chan's job is to monitor Twitter, not to mention that they worked together at the FBI.ImageImage
    26. Who is Jim Baker? He's former general counsel of the FBI (2014-18) & one of the most powerful men in the U.S. intel community.

    Baker has moved in and out of government for 30 years, serving stints at CNN, Bridgewater (a $140 billion asset management firm) and BrookingsImageImageImageImage
    28. Baker wasn't the only senior FBI exec. involved in the Trump investigation to go to Twitter.

    Dawn Burton, the former dep. chief of staff to FBI head James Comey, who initiated the investigation of Trump, joined Twitter in 2019 as director of strategy. 
    29. As of 2020, there were so many former FBI employees — "Bu alumni" — working at Twitter that they had created their own private Slack channel and a crib sheet to onboard new FBI arrivals.Image
    30. Efforts continued to influence Twitter's Yoel Roth.

    In Sept 2020, Roth participated in an Aspen Institute “tabletop exercise” on a potential "Hack-and-Dump" operation relating to Hunter Biden

    The goal was to shape how the media covered it — and how social media carried itImageImageImageImage
    31. The organizer was Vivian Schiller, the fmr CEO of NPR, fmr head of news at Twitter; fmr Gen. mgr of NY Times; fmr Chief Digital Officer of NBC News

    Attendees included Meta/FB's head of security policy and the top nat. sec. reporters for @nytimes @wapo and othersImage
     
    32. By mid-Sept, 2020, Chan & Roth had set up an encrypted messaging network so employees from FBI & Twitter could communicate.

    They also agree to create a “virtual war room” for “all the [Internet] industry plus FBI and ODNI” [Office of the Director of National Intelligence].ImageImage
    33. Then, on Sept 15, 2020 the FBI’s Laura Dehmlow, who heads up the Foreign Influence Task Force, and Elvis Chan, request to give a classified briefing for Jim Baker, without any other Twitter staff, such as Yoel Roth, present.Image
    34. On Oct 14, shortly after @nypost publishes its Hunter Biden laptop story, Roth says, “it isn’t clearly violative of our Hacked Materials Policy, nor is it clearly in violation of anything else," but adds, “this feels a lot like a somewhat subtle leak operation.”Image
    35. In response to Roth, Baker repeatedly insists that the Hunter Biden materials were either faked, hacked, or both, and a violation of Twitter policy. Baker does so over email, and in a Google doc, on October 14 and 15.ImageImageImage
    36. And yet it's inconceivable Baker believed the Hunter Biden emails were either fake or hacked. The @nypost had included a picture of the receipt signed by Hunter Biden, and an FBI subpoena showed that the agency had taken possession of the laptop in December 2019.ImageImageImage
    37. As for the FBI, it likely would have taken a few *hours* for it to confirm that the laptop had belonged to Hunter Biden. Indeed, it only took a few days for journalist @peterschweizer to prove it. 
    38. By 10 am, Twitter execs had bought into a wild hack-and-dump story

    “The suggestion from experts - which rings true - is there was a hack that happened separately, and they loaded the hacked materials on the laptop that magically appeared at a repair shop in Delaware”Image
    39. At 3:38 pm that same day, October 14, Baker arranges a phone conversation with Matthew J. Perry in the Office of the General Counsel of the FBIImage
    40. The influence operation persuaded Twitter execs that the Hunter Biden laptop did *not* come from a whistleblower.

    One linked to a Hill article, based on a WaPo article, from Oct 15, which falsely suggested that Giuliani’s leak of the laptop had something to do with Russia.ImageImageImage
    41. There is evidence that FBI agents have warned elected officials of foreign influence with the primary goal of leaking the information to the news media. This is a political dirty trick used to create the perception of impropriety. 
    42. In 2020, the FBI gave a briefing to Senator Grassley and Johnson, claiming evidence of “Russian interference” into their investigation of Hunter Biden.

    The briefing angered the Senators, who say it was done to discredit their investigation.

    grassley.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
     
    43. “The unnecessary FBI briefing provided the Democrats and liberal media the vehicle to spread their false narrative that our work advanced Russian disinformation.”ImageImageImageImage
    44. Notably, then-FBI General Counsel Jim Baker was investigated *twice,* in 2017 and 2019, for leaking information to the news media.

    “You’re saying he’s under criminal investigation? That’s why you’re not letting him answer?” Meadows asked.

    “Yes”
     
    45. In the end, the FBI's influence campaign aimed at executives at news media, Twitter, & other social media companies worked: they censored & discredited the Hunter Biden laptop story.

    By Dec. 2020, Baker and his colleagues even sent a note of thanks to the FBI for its work.Image
    46. The FBI’s influence campaign may have been helped by the fact that it was paying Twitter millions of dollars for its staff time.

    “I am happy to report we have collected $3,415,323 since October 2019!” reports an associate of Jim Baker in early 2021.Image
    47. And the pressure from the FBI on social media platforms continues

    In Aug 2022, Twitter execs prepared for a meeting with the FBI, whose goal was “to convince us to produce on more FBI EDRs"

    EDRs are an “emergency disclosure request,” a warrantless search.Image
    Anyone who reads the Twitter Files, regardless of their political orientation, should share those concerns.

    One Thing, Jesus Christ
    Fr. Ben Daghir Will Post Weekly Articles HERE Every Monday!
    Article 1 - Second Series - December 19th, 2022 by Fr. Ben Daghir
     
    Ed Sheeran’s song “Perfect” became an instant success upon its release in 2017. The song has well over 3 billion views on YouTube. I wonder why? Maybe because the song articulates authentic love and we are naturally oriented toward love in the most natural and adventurous way.
     
    In my opinion, the song is quite Catholic at heart. It describes a young man’s joy in finding the love of his life but he soon realizes that she also found him. The song also describes his desire to remain in love with her and his dream of having a family with her.
     
    The first line states “I found a love” which indicates that he isn’t in charge of this love story. He neither invented nor created it. He found something which indicates a greater, mysterious hand is at play. Then he sings “Darling, just dive right in and follow my lead.” There is a reason why we have the phrase “falling in love.” Like diving right in, it implies that we must loosen our firm grip of trying to control everything. Love demands a risk, a diving into the deep, and a letting go of control.
     
    A few lines later, Sheeran sings “Baby, I’m dancing in the dark with you between my arms, barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song.” The imagery, which literally could be taken as two people outside dancing on the lawn to a song, could metaphorically mean something much deeper. Love demands an adventure. It demands a willingness to enter into the unknown. It demands that two people become vulnerable. Finally, it demands that both of them listen to a higher voice than their own. Could it be that “dancing in the dark” implies the two lovers being willing to enter together into the unknown of the future? Could it be that “with you between my arms” implies not only a physical embrace but also an embrace of dreams, hopes, fears, anxieties, aspirations, goals, and worldviews? Could it be that “barefoot on the grass” implies a state of vulnerability like that of Moses on holy ground? (Exodus 3:5). Could it be that “listening to our favorite song” implies both of them listening to a higher voice as opposed to just their own voices?
     
    Sheeran also adds “She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home.” Beautiful! The trajectory of authentic love is on display. Their love is built upon friendship. They know one another well. The two lovers share one another's passions, hopes, and dreams long before one another’s home. The foundation of love is always built upon a sturdy friendship.
     
    The song is also fundamentally pro-life. Sheeran sings, “I found a lover, to carry more than just my secrets, to carry love, to carry children of our own.” The singer doesn’t see the woman as a mere object of pleasure but rather as a woman, a friend, a spouse, and a mother. Unfortunately, pro-life has been reduced to mere political language but it’s so much more than that. Pro-life is a fruit of authentic love. In other words, authentic love is naturally oriented toward life, toward the building up of family, of society, of culture, and of the human race.
     
    Sheeran also sings, “When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful…I don’t deserve this.” Only now does the singer describe her physical attributes. He has mentioned that she is a stronger woman than anyone he has ever known. He has stated that she shares his dreams, that he desires to share a home with her, a future, and a family. It is obvious that when the singer says “looking so beautiful” he is referring to much more than her physique. In fact, he is referring to her whole being. Then, he humbly admits “I don’t deserve this.” How true it is that the overwhelming reality of one’s vocation leads to “I don’t deserve this.” God’s gifts for us, especially our respective vocations, is overwhelming.
     
    As a Catholic priest, I have officiated at several weddings. It is always a great privilege and honor to be with the groom just minutes before his wedding. Many of these soon-to-be husbands are overwhelmed with the sheer gravity of how blessed, how lucky they are. “I don’t deserve this” is exactly how they feel. Interestingly, young men preparing for the priesthood often experience the gravity of “I don’t deserve this,” the overwhelming reality of God’s love for them.
     
    The words “Baby, I’m dancing in the dark with you between my arms, barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song” is a poetic way of describing authentic love. It is adventurous. It demands vulnerability, friendship, and listening to a higher voice. It is also directed toward life in the fullest sense possible.

    1.THREAD: Twitter Files Supplemental 
    2.In July of 2020, San Francisco FBI agent Elvis Chan tells Twitter executive Yoel Roth to expect written questions from the Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF), the inter-agency group that deals with cyber threats.Image
    3.The questionnaire authors seem displeased with Twitter for implying, in a July 20th “DHS/ODNI/FBI/Industry briefing,” that “you indicated you had not observed much recent activity from official propaganda actors on your platform.”Image
    4.One would think that would be good news. The agencies seemed to feel otherwise.
    5.Chan underscored this: “There was quite a bit of discussion within the USIC to get clarifications from your company,” he wrote, referring to the United States Intelligence Community. 
    6.The task force demanded to know how Twitter came to its unpopular conclusion. Oddly, it included a bibliography of public sources - including a Wall Street Journal article - attesting to the prevalence of foreign threats, as if to show Twitter they got it wrong. 
    7.Roth, receiving the questions, circulated them with other company executives, and complained that he was “frankly perplexed by the requests here, which seem more like something we'd get from a congressional committee than the Bureau.”Image
    8.He added he was not “comfortable with the Bureau (and by extension the IC) demanding written answers.” The idea of the FBI acting as conduit for the Intelligence Community is interesting, given that many agencies are barred from domestic operations. 
    9.He then sent another note internally, saying the premise of the questions was “flawed,” because “we've been clear that official state propaganda is definitely a thing on Twitter.” Note the italics for emphasis.Image
    10.Roth suggested they “get on the phone with Elvis ASAP and try to straighten this out,” to disabuse the agencies of any notion that state propaganda is not a “thing” on Twitter. 
    11.This exchange is odd among other things because some of the “bibliography” materials cited by the FITF are sourced to intelligence officials, who in turn cited the public sources. 
    12.The FBI responded to Friday’s report by saying it “regularly engages with private sector entities to provide information specific to identified foreign malign influence actors’ subversive, undeclared, covert, or criminal activities.”Image
    13.That may be true, but we haven’t seen that in the documents to date. Instead, we’ve mostly seen requests for moderation involving low-follower accounts belonging to ordinary Americans – and Billy Baldwin. 
    14.Watch @bariweiss and @ShellenbergerMD for more from the Twitter Files.

    1. THREAD: The Twitter Files, Part Six TWITTER, THE FBI SUBSIDIARY

    4:00 PM · Dec 16, 2022

    1. THREAD: The Twitter Files, Part Six
    TWITTER, THE FBI SUBSIDIARY 
    2. The #TwitterFiles are revealing more every day about how the government collects, analyzes, and flags your social media content. 
    3. Twitter’s contact with the FBI was constant and pervasive, as if it were a subsidiary. 
    4. Between January 2020 and November 2022, there were over 150 emails between the FBI and former Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth. 
    5. Some are mundane, like San Francisco agent Elvis Chan wishing Roth a Happy New Year along with a reminder to attend “our quarterly call next week.” Others are requests for information into Twitter users related to active investigations. 
    6. But a surprisingly high number are requests by the FBI for Twitter to take action on election misinformation, even involving joke tweets from low-follower accounts. 
    7. The FBI’s social media-focused task force, known as FTIF, created in the wake of the 2016 election, swelled to 80 agents and corresponded with Twitter to identify alleged foreign influence and election tampering of all kinds. 
    8. Federal intelligence and law enforcement reach into Twitter included the Department of Homeland Security, which partnered with security contractors and think tanks to pressure Twitter to moderate content. 
    9. It’s no secret the government analyzes bulk data for all sorts of purposes, everything from tracking terror suspects to making economic forecasts. 
    10. The #TwitterFiles show something new: agencies like the FBI and DHS regularly sending social media content to Twitter through multiple entry points, pre-flagged for moderation. 
    11. What stands out is the sheer quantity of reports from the government. Some are aggregated from public hotlines:Image
    12.An unanswered question: do agencies like FBI and DHS do in-house flagging work themselves, or farm it out? “You have to prove to me that inside the fucking government you can do any kind of massive data or AI search,” says one former intelligence officer.
    “HELLO TWITTER CONTACTS”: The master-canine quality of the FBI’s relationship to Twitter comes through in this November 2022 email, in which “FBI San Francisco is notifying you” it wants action on four accounts:Image
    14.Twitter personnel in that case went on to look for reasons to suspend all four accounts, including @fromMA, whose tweets are almost all jokes (see sample below), including his “civic misinformation” of Nov. 8:ImageImageImage
    15. Just to show the FBI can be hyper-intrusive in both directions, they also asked Twitter to review a blue-leaning account for a different joke, except here it was even more obvious that @ClaireFosterPHD, who kids a lot, was kidding:ImageImage
    16. “Anyone who cannot discern obvious satire from reality has no place making decisions for others or working for the feds,” said @ClaireFosterPHD, when told about the flagging. 
    17.Of the six accounts mentioned in the previous two emails, all but two – @ClaireFosterPHD and @fromMA – were suspended. 
    18.In an internal email from November 5, 2022, the FBI’s National Election Command Post, which compiles and sends on complaints, sent the SF field office a long list of accounts that “may warrant additional action”:Image
    19.Agent Chan passed the list on to his "Twitter folks":Image
    20. Twitter then replied with its list of actions taken. Note mercy shown to actor Billy Baldwin:Image21.Many of the above accounts were satirical in nature, nearly all (with the exceptions of Baldwin and @RSBNetwork) were relatively low engagement, and some were suspended, most with a generic, “Thanks, Twitter” letter:ImageImage
    22.When told of the FBI flagging, @lexitollah replied: “My thoughts initially include 1. Seems like prima facie 1A violation 2. Holy cow, me, an account with the reach of an amoeba 3. What else are they looking at?” 
    23.“I can't believe the FBI is policing jokes on Twitter. That's crazy,” said @Tiberius444. 
    24.In a letter to former Deputy General Counsel (and former top FBI lawyer) Jim Baker on Sep. 16, 2022, legal exec Stacia Cardille outlines results from her “soon to be weekly” meeting with DHS, DOJ, FBI, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence:Image
    25.The Twitter exec writes she explicitly asked if there were “impediments” to the sharing of classified information “with industry.” The answer? “FBI was adamant no impediments to sharing exist.” 
    26. This passage underscores the unique one-big-happy-family vibe between Twitter and the FBI. With what other firm would the FBI blithely agree to “no impediments” to classified information? 
    27.At the bottom of that letter, she lists a series of “escalations” apparently raised at the meeting, which were already “handled.”
    28. About one, she writes: “Flagged a specific Tweet on Illinois use of modems to transmit election results in possible violation of the civic integrity policy (except they do use that tech in limited circumstances).” 
    29.Another internal letter from January, 2021 shows Twitter execs processing an FBI list of “possible violative content” tweets:Image
    30.Here, too, most tweets contained the same, “Get out there and vote Wednesday!” trope and had low engagement. This is what the FBI spends its time on:Image
    31. In this March, 2021 email, an FBI liaison thanks a senior Twitter exec for the chance to speak to “you and the team,” then delivers a packet of “products”:Image
    32.The executive circulates the “products,” which are really DHS bulletins stressing the need for greater collaboration between law enforcement and “private sector partners.”Image
    33.The ubiquity of the 2016 Russian interference story as stated pretext for building out the censorship machine can’t be overstated. It’s analogous to how 9/11 inspired the expansion of the security state.Image
    34.While the DHS in its “products” pans “permissive” social media for offering “operational advantages” to Russians, it also explains that the “Domestic Violent Extremist Threat” requires addressing “information gaps”:Image
    35.FBI in one case sent over so many “possible violative content” reports, Twitter personnel congratulated each other in Slack for the “monumental undertaking” of reviewing them:ImageImage
    36.There were multiple points of entry into Twitter for government-flagged reports. This letter from Agent Chan to Roth references Teleporter, a platform through which Twitter could receive reports from the FBI:Image
    37.Reports also came from different agencies. Here, an employee recommends “bouncing” content based on evidence from “DHS etc”:Image
    38.State governments also flagged content. 
    39.Twitter for instance received reports via the Partner Support Portal, an outlet created by the Center for Internet Security, a partner organization to the DHS. 
    40.“WHY WAS NO ACTION TAKEN?” Below, Twitter execs – receiving an alert from California officials, by way of “our partner support portal” – debate whether to act on a Trump tweet:ImageImage
    41.Here, a video was reported by the Election Integrity Project (EIP) at Stanford, apparently on the strength of information from the Center for Internet Security (CIS):Image
    42.If that’s confusing, it’s because the CIS is a DHS contractor, describes itself as “partners” with the Cyber and Internet Security Agency (CISA) at the DHS:Image
    43.The EIP is one of a series of government-affiliated think tanks that mass-review content, a list that also includes the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensics Research Laboratory, and the University of Washington’s Center for Informed Policy. 
    44.The takeaway: what most people think of as the “deep state” is really a tangled collaboration of state agencies, private contractors, and (sometimes state-funded) NGOs. The lines become so blurred as to be meaningless. 
    45. Twitter Files researchers are moving into a variety of new areas now. Watch @bariweiss, @ShellenbergerMD, and this space for more, soon.
