Independent journalist Catherine Herridge dropped a bombshell tweet on X Tuesday purportedly showing FBI chats that prove they did everything in their power to make the Hunter Biden laptop from hell story go away as the 2020 election approached. Kinda sounds like election interference, doesn’t it?
As you’ll recall, a drugged-out Hunter left the laptop at a repair center, but was too addled to remember to pick it up. The shop owner turned it into the black hole of the FBI, and they apparently did little with the masses of evidence of criminal behavior by the Biden Crime Family. The New York Post got ahold of the data, published stories about it, and were immediately censored by most of the mainstream media, the Biden administration and Big Tech.
According to Herridge, the feds memory-holed the damning information with gusto:
BREAKING: FBI Imposed “Gag Order” About Hunter Biden Laptop After Employee Accidentally Confirmed Its Authenticity To Twitter

Herridge has the receipts on the Bureau’s disinformation campaign:
Newly released internal FBI chat messages reveal senior bureau officials actively shutting down discussion of the laptop’s credibility days before the 2020 Presidential election...
An FBI official admitted to House investigators that an FBI employee had inadvertently confirmed the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s laptop to Twitter on a conference call the morning of October 14, 2020, the day the New York Post published a story about it.
“I recall that when the question came up, an intelligence analyst assigned to the Criminal Investigative Division said something to the effect of, ‘Yes, the laptop is real’,” the then Russia unit chief testified in a closed door transcribed interview.
“I believe it was an (Office of General Counsel) attorney assigned to the (Foreign Influence Task Force) stepped in and said, ‘We will not comment further on this topic.’”
And it wasn't just the FBI – remember the 50 “intelligence agents” who issued a letter saying the laptop was probably “Russian disinformation?” Biden used that cover during a presidential debate with Trump. There’s been much talk of alleged election interference in the past few years, but it’s undeniable that the Deep State, in collusion with Big Tech and the lying media, played a huge part in at least corruptly influencing the electorate in what eventually became a Biden win.
Consequences Delivered: Trump Expands Order Directed at 50 Gaslighting Intelligence Officers
Herridge has more:
An individual whose name is blacked out, tells Elvis M. Chan, the San Francisco-based FBI special agent tasked with interacting with social media companies, there was a “gag order” on discussion of Hunter Biden’s laptop. In a separate exchange, Chan is told “official response no commen(t).”
In the chat, the FBI officials showed awareness that the laptop may have contained evidence of criminal activity.
Asked Chan, “actually what kind of case is the laptop thing? corruption? campaign financing?”
Another FBI employee responds, “CLOSE HOLD —” after which the response is redacted.
To which Chan responds, “oh crap” appearing to underscore the serious nature of the probe, which included felony tax charges. Chan adds, “ok. It ends here”.
This is smoking gun stuff. Next time somebody says to you, “No, the Biden administration didn’t weaponize the DOJ,” remind them of this. Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel and Donald Trump and co. need to keep investigating the corruption at Justice and holding those who made a mockery out of our system to account.
The mainstream media, the corrupt press and the Biden administration all lied to you about the Hunter Biden laptop.
We didn’t.
