Many people saw the letter that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg sent to Rep. Jim Jordan earlier this week as old news. In 2022, Zuckerberg told Joe Rogan that Facebook had limited the spread of the New York Post story about the Hunter Biden laptop in response to information from the FBI. “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 the 2016 election; we have it on notice that basically, there’s about to be some kind of dump that’s similar to that.’”
In fact, Zuckerberg’s letter went further than what he told Rogan in 2022 because he specifically mentioned Burisma, the Ukrainian natural gas company Hunter Biden worked for. Zuckerberg wrote, “the FBI warned us about a potential Russian disinformation operation about the Biden family and Burisma in the lead up to the 2020 election.”
As a result of this, I now feel comfortable saying that the evidence is overwhelming that both the FBI and CIA violated a surveillance law, spread disinformation, and deliberately interfered in the 2020 election.
