Justice Center Sues FBI Over…

The American Center for Law and Justice had to sue the FBI to get the election interference related information they asked for in a FOIA request. They asked for it nicely and the bureau played dumb.

Election interference investigation

Back in August, the American Center for Law and Justice opened an investigation of FBI election interference. They sent a Freedom of Information Act request to the bureau “regarding Mark Zuckerberg’s statement in an interview with Joe Rogan.

That, you may recall, is the one where he admitted the FBI ordered the cover up of anything related to Hunter Biden’s laptop. “The FBI, I think,” Zuckerberg declared publicly, “basically came to us – some folks on our team.” They were told to be “on high alert.

The FBI interfered in the election by telling all the social media platforms that “there was a lot of Russian propaganda” about to hit the streets related to Hunter Biden and Burisma.

Since Facebook honchos “thought that there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election,” they fell for it hook, line and sinker. “We have it on notice that, basically, there’s about to be some kind of dump that’s similar to that. So just be vigilant.” And “vigilant they were.” So was Twitter.

ACLJ sent their FOIA request off to Washington requesting “records pertaining to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s interactions with and requests to social media and news platforms, including Facebook.” Also anything telling them “to censor or ‘be on high alert for‘ information in connection with the then-upcoming election.

They knew from Zuckerberg that something “resulted in censorship (or reduced ‘distribution‘ which was ‘meaningful‘) of information, including the Hunter Biden-related stories, on Facebook.

They also asked about Twitter

ACLJ “also specifically requested information regarding the FBI’s interactions with Twitter during the same period.” That was long before Elon Musk bought the platform.

Now we know that the FBI had so much influence they were running Twitter as a “subsidiary.” It’s clear they rigged the election against Donald Trump by covering up Biden family crimes.

The bureau denied that the sun rises in the east. “The FBI responded on the last possible day with a Glomar Response (a response refusing to admit or deny the existence of responsive records).” They didn’t deny them because that would be perjury. They weren’t about to cough them up though.

As we told you, on November 3, we filed an appeal, as required by FOIA, and awaited the response.” They never got one. Then, the Twitter Files came out. Now, there’s a lawsuit.

The juicy part of their lawsuit says their election interference records were denied and the file closed because “the mere acknowledgment of the existence of FBI records on third party individuals could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.” That’s a load of fertilizer.

The ACLJ’s FOIA Request contained 9 other subparts seeking various records which could not reasonably be construed as privacy invasion of Hunter Biden, yet the FBI’s Response did not address those, e.g., communications to the personnel of Facebook, Twitter or other news media about being on ‘high alert‘ for ‘information in connection with an election‘ that does not include Hunter Biden.” They have 30 days. Stay tuned.
