And what we broke this morning is the precursor warning that the intelligence community knew at the start of the 2020 election in January and February of 2020, that these systems were vulnerable.
Specifically, they flagged the voter registration data, and they described how a foreign power would likely use that data if they got it.
They would file false ballots.
They would potentially knock people off the voter registration list.
They would assume identities and do influence operations on social media.
That's exactly what would happen just three or four months later, the CIA, the FBI, the NSA began detecting evidence in the spring of 2020, just a few months after that document that made public today was written that China and Iran had done that.
Iran stole 100,000 voter identities and used them for mal-influence operations.
China, we believe, reached more than a dozen states' voter registration databases.
And then we know - because of documents Kash Patel made public recently that we wrote and broke about - that the Chinese sent tens of thousands of fake driver's licenses to the United States in the summer of 2020.
So they breached the databases. They get the identities. They send fake driver's licenses. And according to the FBI documents, their goal was to get ballots.
The Chinese were going to get ballots and vote in the names of Americans and try to swing the election to Joe Biden.
That's what the FBI documents say.
All of that was kept from us for the last six years.
And it's certainly those records that are now out in public do not equate to "the most secure election in American history."
We were lied to.
-
Jesse Kelly: Final one for me, John, and it's a fairly important one. Do we know WHO kept that information from us at, say, the FBI? Because that's kind of a big deal.
-
John Solomon: Yeah, listen, we know from the documents I got a few weeks ago that the FBI originally wanted to put an alert out - and did quickly put an alert out when the driver's licenses were captured.
They were stopped at an airport and the FBI had a very reliable informant in China saying this was a plot to help Joe Biden.
Within 24, 48 hours, their supervisors in the counterintelligence division ordered them to recall that report and destroy it.
I want to repeat what I just said.
They said, don't... pull it back from all the agencies you just sent it to and instruct those agencies to destroy the document.
That sounds like a cover-up because, by the way, the evidence is held true to this day.
They've re-vetted that informant multiple times.
They have considered that informant to be reliable.
And by the way, the government has in its possession the fake driver's licenses. They intercepted it.
So it was a real plot.
When it comes to Ukraine and the stuff we broke last week, we know it was the Inspector General, Michael Atkinson.
When it comes to FBI documents, there's a heavy focus on the 7th Floor, the leadership of the FBI, Chris Wray, and people downstream from him.
And also there's a growing body of evidence, particularly in Arctic Frost - and there was a hearing today in the Senate - that the Washington field office, which is the second most prominent local office in the FBI after New York - those are the two big ones. That they have been involved in some really nefarious things and in targeting Trump supporters without cause, without having evidence. a predicate or criminal case that made sense.
And so those are the players.
