Allegations of Chinese Election Interference

  • πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ An internal intelligence report (IRR) from the Albany, New York FBI office alleged Chinese efforts to influence the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election.
  • πŸ—³οΈ These efforts reportedly included shipping fake driver's licenses to the U.S. to allow Chinese sympathizers to cast fraudulent mail-in ballots for Joe Biden.

Recalled Intelligence Report

  • πŸ” The IRR was reportedly recalled by former FBI Director Christopher Wray.
  • πŸ›οΈ This action is alleged to have been taken because the report contradicted Wray's testimony to Congress, where he stated that China was not conducting coordinated foreign influence campaigns in U.S. elections.
  • πŸ—£οΈ Wray had testified in September 2020 that the FBI had not seen historically any kind of coordinated national voter fraud effort in a major election.

FBI Whistleblower's Perspective

  • 🚨 FBI whistleblower Steve Friend described the recalling of an intelligence product as unique and unprecedented in recent FBI history, outside of a specific memo related to radical traditional Catholicism.
  • βš–οΈ Friend suggests the report was pulled back to prevent embarrassing Director Wray and potentially subjecting him to perjury charges for his congressional testimony.
  • πŸ“’ Former FBI leadership is accused of withholding facts and misleading the public on China's election interference for political gain.

Broader Implications for FBI Transparency

  • πŸ“‰ The incident is framed as potentially the worst election interference on behalf of the FBI, considering past issues like the Steele dossier, the Comey honeypot scheme, and the censorship of Hunter Biden's laptop.
  • πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ The core allegation is that the FBI possessed information about a foreign nation-state attempting to interfere in U.S. elections and actively suppressed it to avoid transparency and mislead Congress and the public.
