Forget Russia — Facebook & Twitter have just interfered in the US Election – Opinion

FACEBOOK and Twitter have sensationally tried to stop voters seeing a news article published by New York Post which reveal Presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, introduced a Ukrainian energy executive to his father, who was Vice President in the Obama Administration at the time.

This is a Facebook employee.

Facebook is actively interfering in the election.

While Facebook limited spread of the article, Twitter went the whole nine yards and actually locked The Post’s Twitter account, claiming they had published “hacked material”.

You didn’t lock Rachel Maddow out of her account when she was posting about President Trumps alleged tax returns which were obtained illegally.

Senator Josh Hawley (Missouri) wrote letters to the Facebook & Twitter CEOs accusing them of “selective intervention” and “partiality”. He continued:

“Your efforts to suppress the distribution of content revealing potentially unethical activity by a candidate for president raises a number of additional questions, to which I expect responses immediately.”

.@Facebook I want to know on what grounds you are actively censoring a news report about potentially illegal corruption by the Democrat candidate for president. If you have evidence this is “disinformation,” disclose it immediately. Expect a formal inquiry from my office

Emails obtained by The Post were recovered from a laptop left at a repair shop in Biden’s home state of Delaware in April last year. The water-damage repair was never paid for and the hard drive never retrieved, despite multiple attempts by the store owner to contact the client. He alerted the FBI to the hardware’s existence in December, and gave a copy of the contents to former Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer. Giuliani gave The Post a copy of the email in the last week.

Joe Biden refuses to answer questions about Hunter Biden’s US$50,000 a month board position at Burisma Holdings Limited, a Ukrainian-based holding company for a group of energy exploration and production companies he is completely unqualified for.

A email sent May 2014 by Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi asked Joe Biden’s son for “advice on how you could use your influence” on the company’s behalf.

The exposed email sent April 2015 also by Pozharskyi says:

“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure.”

That email belies Joe Biden’s claim he has “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings”.

Less than eight months after this email regarding his meeting with Pozharskyi, Joe Biden pressured the Ukrainian President and Prime Minister to get rid of the Prosecutor General, Viktor Shokin. He admitted as much, saying:

“I looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the [US foreign aid] money.”

Shokin claims that at the time he was subsequently fired, he had made “specific plans” to investigate Burisma and members of the executive board, including Joe Biden’s son, Hunter.

More explosive details are outlined in the New York Post article now effectively censored by Twitter and Facebook.

If Hunter’s last name was ‘Trump’, there is little doubt Donald would be hounded by Democrats and the mainstream media for another three years demanding answers and impuning the President’s integrity.

If emails uncovered by a computer repair shop revealed Donald Trump’s son introduced Russian energy executives to the President, would Facebook and Twitter suppress news articles reporting the story?
