Conclusion
The FBI conducted a secret operation called 'Round River' that constituted a deep state conspiracy to prevent investigation of Biden family corruption and suppress free speech about it
Premises
- The FBI launched a secret 'Round River' operation that targeted individuals sharing allegations against the Biden family
- This operation used 'prohibited access' files that were invisible to other FBI officials and investigators, including U.S. Attorney Scott Brady who was tasked with vetting Biden-related evidence
- The operation was controlled by FBI Headquarters and sought to discredit negative Biden information as Russian disinformation
- The FBI maintained over 40 Confidential Human Sources with criminal information about the Biden family, yet used Round River to falsely discredit this information
- The operation expanded beyond protecting the Bidens to target reporters, lawmakers, and other public figures who raised Biden corruption concerns
- FBI agents communicated with Twitter during this period, leading to censorship of Biden family corruption content on social media
Assumptions
- Secret government operations to suppress investigations are inherently illegitimate
- The FBI's actions were politically motivated rather than based on legitimate national security concerns
- Information about Biden family corruption was credible and deserved investigation
- Government agencies should not influence private companies' content moderation decisions
- Whistleblower accounts and unnamed sources are reliable
