Never forget that this happened under an administration that put together an official Disinformation Governance Board, chaired by the "Mary Poppins of disinformation," who claimed that the Hunter Biden laptop story was "a fairy tale about a laptop repair shop." John Solomon of Just the News reports that the FBI had 14 informants on corruption in the Biden family but instead put together a secret operation to discredit his reporting as disinformation.
BREAKING: Just-declassified FBI docs reveal Dir. Wray during the 2020 election classified Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Victoria Nuland and Amos Hochstein, along w/ George Soros, as "targets" of Russian "disinformation" in the Burisma scandal, while journalist John Solomon was branded…

… a "conduit" of "disinformation"
During the 2020 election. Right about when that fairy tale popped up.
So, Chris Wray hid the Biden family's corruption.

The FBI secretly flagged Cabinet officials Bill Barr, Mike Pompeo, lawmakers, and journalists as ‘conduits’ for Russia propaganda in an operation to downplay the Biden family corruption scandal, memos showhttps://t.co/QzSOaYubju
John Solomon and Steven Richards report for Just the News:
The FBI and U.S. spy agencies received derogatory evidence about Joe Biden from 14 different informants but embarked on a secret operation to tamp down a Ukrainian corruption scandal engulfing his family during the 2020 election by formally designating Attorney General Bill Barr, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, key members of Congress and journalists as Russian disinformation “conduits,” according to explosive intelligence community documents declassified by the White House.
A spreadsheet that was recovered from U.S. intelligence agency files and made public Wednesday by the White House Government Transparency Task Force shows that spy agencies and the FBI created a list of more than six dozen prominent organizations, Americans or foreigners who became figures in the Biden family Ukraine scandal and the 2019 impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump.
The spreadsheet neatly divided figures along political lines, with Democrats like the Bidens, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Barack Obama and George Soros listed as victimized “targets” of Russian disinformation and conservatives like Fox News, One America News, filmmaker Michael Caputo and Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani as “conduits” for disinformation.
The FBI also labeled two of President Donald Trump’s first-term Cabinet secretaries, Pompeo and Barr, as well as Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley, Ron Johnson and Lindsey Graham and House GOP committee chairmen Devin Nunes and Jim Jordan as “conduits” even while they all investigated whether the allegations of corruption against the Biden family were true.
…
The designations were part of a secret counterintelligence operation codenamed “Round River” that was launched during the 2020 election by a task force of FBI analysts claiming to be fighting “malign foreign influence” in the 2020 election, according to an administration official.

Solomon adds that the operation was sort of a mirror image of Operation Crossfire Hurricane, in that rather than collecting "evidence" against Trump, it was trying to discredit evidence against Biden.
Solomon also mentions the discovery earlier this month of Oxferd C0mma, an operation with a curious spelling that would help hide documents from searches and FOIA requests. Oxferd C0mma alleged that newly elected President Trump may have been acting as a Russian asset when he fired then-FBI Director James Comey.
Here's a link to a PDF of the spreadsheet mentioned in the story.
And Christopher Wray will never be held to account.

Everyone remember Victoria Nuland and her dirty hands being an intricate part of Ukraine?

I've withheld my position on Wray, but now, after all that has been released, with all the things he did, and his lies to Congress, manipulation of FBI personnel and resources, I believe he belongs in jail. Period.

John Solomon is one serious journalist. That man understands the history and has command of the facts. We live in an upside down world with a severe imbalance of consequences.

Operation Crossfire Hurricane, Operation Oxferd C0mma, Operation Round River … we had high hopes that Kash Patel was going to clean house at the FBI, but that might be a bigger job than one person can handle.
