The FBI team that was in communication with Facebook before the social media company censored the original Hunter Biden laptop story has been identified, according to a new court filing.
Meta, Facebook’s parent company, identified the team as the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF), according to an updated complaint entered late on Oct. 6.
Meta named the team after receiving a subpoena in a case alleging the federal government pressured Big Tech firms to censor users.
“Pursuant to the third-party subpoena, Meta has identified the FBI’s FITF, as supervised by Laura Dehmlow, and Elvis Chan as involved in the communications between the FBI and Meta that led to Facebook’s suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story,” the updated complaint states.
The FBI did not respond to a request for comment on the updated lawsuit, which now names the FBI as a defendant. The bureau said previously that it is routinely in touch with U.S. companies but “cannot ask, or direct, companies to take action on information received.”
The FITF was established by FBI Director Christopher Wray in 2017 “to identify and counteract malign foreign influence operations targeting the United States,” according to the bureau’s website. Such operations include covert actions by outside governments aimed at influencing the American political scene or discourse, the bureau has said.
Laura Dehmlow is a supervisor of FITF. She has been named as a defendant in the case along with Elvis Chan, a special agent who manages the cyber branch at the FBI’s San Francisco Field Office.
According to new documents produced by the government as part of discovery in the case, Dehmlow briefed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) Cybersecurity Advisory Committee on March 1, 2022. Minutes of the meeting show Dehmlow telling members that the FITF actually started in 2016 and has since grown to 80 workers.
Asked about goals for approaching mal-, mis-, and disinformation, Dehmlow said that “we need a media infrastructure that is held accountable; we need to early educate the populace; and that today, critical thinking seems to be a problem currently,” according to the minutes.
Chan, meanwhile, bragged on a recent podcast that the San Francisco office “was very involved in helping to protect the US elections in 2020” by working with private companies and election officials. He also indicated he works closely with CISA Director Jen Easterly, who has been revealed to have taken part in pressuring Big Tech companies to crack down on alleged misinformation.
“We talked with all of these entities I mentioned regularly, at least on a monthly basis. And right before the election, probably on a weekly basis. If they were seeing anything unusual, if we were seeing anything unusual, sharing intelligence with technology companies, with social media companies, so that they could protect their own platforms. That’s where the FBI and the US government can actually help companies,” Chan said.
Dehmlow’s idea of “accountability” doesn’t extend to a corrupt government agency that oversteps the bounds of the law and the constitution. Chan’s interpretation of “protecting U.S. elections” is colluding with Big Tech to suppress the crimes committed by the Dem politicians to whom they cater.
Mark Zuckerberg did his part by collaborating with the FBI to censor the laptop and rig the 2020 election.
The FBI has had the contents of the hard drive since 2019 but has not acted on them.

An extensive interview with Biden’s former business partner, Tony Bobulinski, showed that Joe Biden was involved in Hunter’s shady business dealings and made quite a profit.
As if that wasn’t enough, there are photos of Hunter Biden exposing himself to underage girls.
Dems have no problem siccing government agencies on their political enemies. They’re weaponized servants of the Dems.
The DOJ and the FBI are corrupt to the core. Both of them sat on Hunter Biden’s laptop and refused to admit that the contents contain a trove of evidence against the Biden Family Crime Syndicate.
The GOP will take the majority in Congress after the November midterms, and will do nothing about it.
