Joe Biden's FBI did what Biden and Democrats accuse Donald Trump of doing with the FBI. It was a personal force that helped cover for the Biden family. If it weren't for whistleblowers coming forward, Biden would have gotten away with it, too.

Catherine Herridge and Michael Shellenberger were able to access internal FBI chat messages. Those chats, even redacted, showed the FBI instituted a "gag order" around anything related to Hunter Biden's laptop in the leadup to the 2020 election.

Herridge notes in the messages, "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)."

Instead of doing their job or even just being honest, the FBI helped peddle the bogus narrative that the laptop was fake. This is despite the FBI knowing the laptop was genuine and an active investigation was ongoing. Yet, any idea we got from senior leaders or anyone close to them that it was Russian disinformation was flatly false.

Other messages reflected the gag order lines. "In the same conversation, Chan is asked if 'Anyone discussing that NYPost article on the Biden's?' Chan responds, 'yes we are. c d confirmed an active investigation. No further comment.' 'C D' is likely shorthand for the FBI's Criminal Division. Said another FBI employee, whose name was redacted by the Bureau, 'please do not discuss biden matter.'"

All the lies and coverups matter. Miranda Devine is correct in observing, "The deliberate silence of FBI senior managers allowed the false narrative to take hold that the laptop was Russian disinformation, and helped presidential candidate Joe Biden shake off evidence in his son's laptop that Joe had lied during the campaign when he repeatedly insisted he knew nothing about Hunter's overseas business dealings. That lie over the years of his presidency evolved into 'was not involved" in Hunter's business deals and then 'did not profit.'"

During Kash Patel's nomination process and during the campaign, Democrats alleged that Donald Trump would weaponize the FBI. They claimed he would use it to attack his opponents.

In 2020, the FBI was doing the bidding of Democrats, issuing gag orders to help Biden despite no instructions to do so from on top. If you want evidence of "the swamp," and how the administrative state benefits Democrats, look no further than this.

If Trump returns the agency to its initial purpose, it'll be good. That would seem like warfare to Democrats, who have come to depend on the FBI as their personal operation.

It's notable that simply changing presidents has resulted in multiple arrests of people on the FBI's "most wanted"list. Since taking office, Kash Patel has had three arrests of people on the FBI's top ten most wanted list. Biden's FBI was inert—serving the man at the top, not the country which its agents had sworn an oath to protect.

What was the priority for the Biden FBI? They did nothing to combat surging gangs from illegal immigrants. The most wanted list is stacked up. Biden wanted to claim a "law and order" mantle while providing either. The only one getting what he needed from the FBI was Hunter Biden.

If it wasn't for whistleblowers coming forward, it's not even clear Hunter Biden would have been prosecuted. Biden's FBI drug its feet and issued a gag order. The DOJ tried cutting a sweetheart deal for Biden that was so egregious that a judge took one look at it and demanded answers from the prosecution team that requested it.

Aside from protecting the Biden family, it's unclear what the Biden FBI was charged with doing. The same could be said about the White House. Every day, we get a new revelation that every conspiracy theory regarding the Biden White House was true.

All these revelations put the primary House Republican criticism of the Biden FBI front and center. The House Judiciary Committee summarized it as saying the Biden FBI, under Christopher Wrap, "abandoned its core mission to uphold the Constitution and protect the American people, wasting taxpayers' hard-earned money on partisan investigations, ineffective procedures, and abusive tactics."

Democrats claim the issue is Donald Trump weaponizing the FBI. But the proof is in what evidence: Democrats weaponized the FBI and used it to protect Joe Biden and his family. Government leaders went out and lied on the record about Hunter Biden and the evidence relating to him.

That's the real story. Unfortunately for Democrats, we're finally getting the truth.
