The FBI does not deny that they told Facebook that there would soon be a large drop of Russian propaganda coming out. The real question is who made the decision to call it propaganda? It should have been obvious right away that this was the real deal. Russians could have made up the stories, but they could not make up the pictures. The FBI had the laptop since 2019, over a year before the election and they refused to let it be investigated.
The bureau told NBC News:
“The FBI routinely notifies U.S. private sector entities, including social media providers, of potential threat information, so that they can decide how to better defend against threats.”
Zuckerberg explained to Joe Rogan:
“The FBI, I think basically came to us — some folks on our team and was like, ‘Hey, um, just so you know, like, you should be on high alert. There was the — we thought that there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election. We have it on notice that basically there’s about to be some kind of dump of — that’s similar to that. So just be vigilant.’”
“We just kind of thought, Hey look, if the FBI, which, you know, I still view as a legitimate institution in this country, it’s very professional law enforcement, They come to us and tell us that we need to be on guard about something. Then I wanna take that seriously.”
“Yeah. I mean, it sucks. I mean, it turned out after the fact, I mean the fact-checkers looked into it, but no one was able to say it was false, right? So basically it had this period where it was getting less distribution.”

After the FBI obtained the Hunter Biden laptop from the Wilmington, DE computer shop, these whistleblowers stated that local FBI leadership told employees, “you will not look at that Hunter Biden laptop” and that the FBI is “not going to change the outcome of the election again.” Further, these whistleblowers allege that the FBI did not begin to examine the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop until after the 2020 presidential election—potentially a year after the FBI obtained the laptop in December 2019.
Polling shows the shenanigans surrounding Hunter’s “laptop from hell” impacted the 2020 election. Seventy-four percent of Americans believe the FBI misled the public when it claimed Hunter Biden’s laptop was “disinformation.” Seventy-nine percent of Americans say former President Donald Trump would have won reelection in 2020 if Hunter’s laptop had been known to voters. When Americans were asked if they “agreed or disagreed the electorate did not have access to information that could have been critical to their decision at the polls,” 78 percent agreed. Twelve percent disagreed.
