House Judiciary launches investigation into Facebook, Twitter over Hunter Biden coverup
Breaking Thursday, Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee announced they are launching an official investigation into Facebook and Twitter’s involvement with censoring the bombshell news of Hunter Biden’s laptop.
The social media platforms were an accomplice in the mainstream media’s suppression of the Hunter Biden story. Jim Jordan (R-OH), who is ranking member of the Committee, told Fox News “the laptop was real, the emails were real, the eyewitness…was real – the only thing fake about a year and a half ago was the news. Big Tech, Big Democrat Party and Big Media all colluded to keep critical information from the American people in the run up to the most important election we have…so we’re launching an investigation.”
“The real thing here was how Facebook and Twitter suppressed this information” said Jordan. The investigation was formerly launched with a letter from the Representatives to Mark Zuckerberg.
The letter begins, “Shortly before 2020 election, Facebook suppressed an explosive New York Post article detailing how Hunter Biden used the position and influence of his father, now-President Biden, for personal gain, with the apparent awareness of President Biden.”

The letter goes on to say how an initial letter was written to Facebook at the time “with important questions” about the suppression of “First Amendment-protected activity.” Facebook ignored the letter, and now “we are investigating Facebook’s actions to interfere in free and fair election-related public discourse on its platform to the benefit of President Biden and the detriment of former President Trump” the letter reads.
According to unnamed sources first reported by the Washington Post, Biden will announce the first federal office for gun-violence prevention.
President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are expected to formally make the announcement of the new office Friday afternoon at a White House event and provide further details.
Gun-control advocates have been trying to get President Biden to take executive action on firearms, including the specific creation of a federal office dedicated to gun-violence prevention since he took office. In January of this year, 117 groups sent a letter to the White House calling for such an office, among other demands.
News reports say President Joe Biden will announce the creation of the first federal office for gun-violence prevention at the end of the week. The Washington Post cited four anonymous sources who have been allegedly been briefed on the executive action.
Biden aide Stefanie Feldman is reported to lead the new office, according to the Post. The Community Justice Action Fund’s Greg Jackson and Everytown for Gun Safety’s Rob Wilcox, leaders of the two prominent gun-control groups, are also expected to hold key roles, reports National Review.
In June 2022, Biden signed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which increased background checks for gun buyers under 21, and allocated money to states to implement “red flag” laws.
The Safer Communities Act also allocated billions of dollars for mental health and school-safety programs. Proponents touted it as the first gun-control legislation signed into law in about 30 years.
“I really think this is a testament to survivors, impacted communities, pushing for years the administration to do this,” an anonymous source with direct knowledge of the plan told Politico.
National Review reports: “So far this year, there have been more than 500 shootings in the U.S. in which four or more people were injured or killed, according to the Gun Violence Archive.”

As I have stated before in other columns, this entire country must obliterate Twitter and Facebook. The reason I stated it prior to this was because they are killing our young people. Teens and pre-teens get information detrimental to their health, body, & mind. Their brains are not mature enough to handle what they read. Anything, any subject they put on their computer is a click away. What happened to their two feet & libraries? Get rid of computers in general. But Facebook & Twitter just encourage all the bad stuff out there. Billions of people add their two cents…good or mostly bad Info. iBut now I know those two mediums are horrendous because of their manipulations into the 2020 elections. I don’t know what they got out of it, but I hope they are glad at the horrible things that are now happening in our country. Is this what they wanted? How could they gain from the way our country is in such a mess?

The only problem is, they can only recommend prosecution to the justice department and those people aren’t going to do that to their buddy Zuckerberg or Twitter.
