I thought it might be a good idea, in preparation for any last minute “surprises” from the secular left, to remember a major example of election interference from the 2020 election. Who really interferes with elections? Is it even happening? Why can’t we post about election interference on social media without getting “de-boosted” or banned outright? Let’s take a look at it.

Here is the best example of election interference from the 2020 election, reported in the New York Post:

They are the supposed nonpartisan group of top spies looking out for the best interest of the nation.

But the 51 former “intelligence” officials who cast doubt on The Post’s Hunter Biden laptop stories in a public letter really were just desperate to get Joe Biden elected president. And more than a year later, even after their Deep State sabotage has been shown again and again to be a lie, they refuse to own up to how they undermined an election.

The officials, including CNN pundit and professional fabricator James Clapper — a man who was nearly charged for perjury for lying to Congress — signed a letter saying that the laptop “has the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

What proof did they have? By their own admission, none. “We do not know if the emails . . . are genuine or not,” the letter said. They’re just “suspicious.” Why? Because they hurt Biden’s campaign, that’s evidence enough.

Keep in mind this was written Oct. 19, 2020, five days after The Post published its first story. Neither Joe Biden nor Hunter Biden had denied the story, they simply deflected questions. Didn’t these security experts think that if this was disinformation, the Biden campaign would have yelled to the heavens that the story was false?

[…]Politico picked up the letter and ran the false headline “Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say.” That headline is still online today, even though the letter clearly says they don’t know if it’s Russian disinformation.

That headline was tweeted out by legions of Democrats, including current White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki, as proof that it was all a con. That tweet also is still up despite being proven false.

[…]Only after the election was safely over did Hunter tacitly admit the laptop was his. Last year, a Politico reporter confirmed that the laptop’s materials were real. And now, the coup de grace: The Times said it’s “authenticated” material from the laptop.

The author of that article contacted the 51 “intelligence experts” to comment on how they were wrong about the laptop, and most of them didn’t reply. Some insisted that they were right even after being proved wrong. What do you think would be a good punishment for their actions? Personally, I would try each of them for treason, and sentence them appropriately.

That first article is from 2022, but there’s more from this New York Post article from 2024:

Four years later, none of the 51 have retracted the statement or apologized.

Some have doubled down on their lie, even though they know that the FBI had possession of the laptop in December 2019, had determined that it belonged to Hunter, that it had not been tampered with in any way and was fit for use as evidence in court.

Four months ago, that silver MacBook Pro was brought by prosecutors into a Delaware court, displayed to the jury that convicted Hunter of felony gun charges, and confirmed by an FBI forensic expert to be Hunter’s laptop.

It was also cited as evidence by prosecutors in his felony tax indictment in California, to which he pleaded guilty last month.

Just to be clear, there is no doubt about the evidence. The evidence shows that the laptop was genuine, and that means that the 51 experts, their allies in the corporate news media, and their allies in Big Tech, all colluded to spread misinformation that interfered with a federal election, handing the victory to the Democrat candidate.

And just to get the names and ranks out there, so everyone knows how to think about the CIA as a federal department:

Among the Dirty 51 were five former CIA directors or acting directors, including John Brennan, Leon Panetta and Michael Hayden, as well as former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. Brennan and Clapper, who were also knee-deep in the Russia collusion hoax against Donald Trump, were appointed by Mayorkas to his inaugural Homeland Security intelligence group before it was disbanded after public outcry and litigation.

Finally, it’s important to remember that Big Tech companies like Facebook, also interfered in the election to help the Democrat party.

The New York Post explains:

The FBI warned major US tech companies ahead of The Post’s first reports on Hunter Biden’s laptop in October 2020 that Russian agents were preparing a strikingly similar document dump — and once the scoop materialized, Facebook executives discussed calibrating censorship decisions to please what they assumed would be an incoming Biden-Harris administration, a congressional investigation found.

The new details — contained in an interim report by the House Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee on the weaponization of government — are emerging as former President Donald Trump leads in polls ahead of the Nov. 5 election and as his allies urge a house-cleaning at the FBI and possible new regulations or antitrust actions to punish and restrain platforms like Facebook.

“FBI tipped us all off last week that this Burisma story was likely to emerge,” an unidentified Microsoft employee wrote on Oct. 14, 2020, the day The Post published the first in a series of bombshell stories on the Biden family’s foreign dealings, according to the congressional report.

Internal Facebook communications, including a chat log, show that employees quickly discounted The Post’s reporting because it was the “[e]xact content expected for hack and leak.”

“Right on schedule,” another Facebook employee concurred.

“Obviously, our calls on this could colour [sic] the way an incoming Biden administration views us more than almost anything else…,” Facebook’s then-vice president of global affairs Nick Clegg wrote on the same day to vice president of global public policy Joel Kaplan.

I wrote before about how Google uses their products and services to also interfere in elections to help the Democrat party. So, if you see a Trump administration taking power and arresting “intelligence experts” and “journalists” and “tech executives” in January 2025, don’t be alarmed. It’s just justice.
