Republican secretary of state for West Virginia, Mac Warner, is urging the federal authorities to regret for their part in obscuring data that might have had an impact on the results of the 2020 election. He warned that the state might do the same thing once more.
” I want the federal government to acknowledge that there was a difficulty, and that would be the first step in restoring confidence in both our federal government and our votes,” Warner told The Federalist.” One of these companies, or all these authorities, should do this. ” If you do n’t acknowledge the problem, then it’s likely to happen again”.
Hiding Hunter’s Computer
Warner said the FBI, CIA, and the Department of Homeland Security’s CISA system — the federal government’s hotspot for virtual censorship — need to recognize their role in suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop history ahead of the 2020 election. He claimed that they will likely take similar actions before November if they refuse to respond.
The contents of President Joe Biden’s son’s laptop were first revealed by The New York Post in October 2020. Those contents included evidence of foreign business deals involving the president, records of Hunter’s drug use, and explicit sexual material. However, the FBI continued to censor the story as Russian “misinformation” on Facebook and Twitter despite later admitting to knowing the information was accurate. 79 percent of Americans believed the story would have had a significant impact on the election’s outcome in 2022.  ,
Warner expressed concern that the federal government is inciting fear by intimidating election officials in an effort to deceive people into using information-stamping.
” That’s the real concern, that’s the insidious concern because it’s coming from the inside”, Warner said. It’s like a magician, who moves one hand to get your attention while doing the dirty work on the other.
Warner said he expects hostile nations like China, Iran, and Russia to try interfering in elections, but America already has safeguards against foreign influence, so he is more concerned about internal threats.
According to Warner,” We do n’t have mechanisms in place to watch out for our own federal government lying to us.” ” Watch out for anything that the CIA, FBI, CISA, and others say” . ,
Bidenbucks’ Peddling’
Warner claimed that the government is also turning the balances in favor of the left by using Biden’s” Executive Order on Promoting Access to Voting” to favor the government.
” They’re trying to get the federal government agencies, all of them, to become voter registration centers and basically get out the vote for Democrats”, Warner said.  ,
Due to the resemblance of the” Zuckbucks” program of 2020, when Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg funneled$ 400 million through leftist groups to election offices in mostly Democrat areas, influencing election policy and strategically boosting turnout, the order and its accompanying get-out-the-vote gambit have earned the nickname” Bidenbucks.”
Warner signed a 2022 letter to Biden, along with 14 other secretaries of state, asking him to rescind the order. On October 9, he also issued a press release urging Congress to look into possible election interference.
” We should n’t have to keep an eye on the very institutions that are supposed to keep us safe”, Warner said in the release. ” Americans need to be aware this occurred, and we must take action to ensure it does n’t happen again”.
On September 26, he wrote Republican Sen. Shelley Moore Capito to request a congressional investigation to check whether the federal government interferes with the election. Warner claimed that the same week he also wrote FBI Director Christopher Wray and CISA Director Jen Easterly.  ,
“CISA refuses to address these concerns, further eroding confidence in our elections”, Warner wrote at the time.
Denying Accountability
In spite of the federal election interference involved in repressing the Hunter Biden laptop story, then-CISA Director Chris Krebs endorsed a statement declaring the 2020 election to be the “most secure in American history.”
Chris Krebs was allowed to claim that this election was the most secure ever. That’s what the Democrats continually go back to, and say,’ There was nothing wrong with the 2020 election, it was the most secure ever,'” Warner said. “CISA should come out and say,’ No, it was n’t the most secure. We admitted that there was a problem, and we had this lie that was being spread to the American people.
At the time, 51 officials— including former National Intelligence Director James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, former Acting CIA Director Michael Morell, former National Counterterrorism Center Director Nick Rasmussen, and former CIA official Nick Shapiro — signed a letter to Politico claiming the story was” Russian disinformation” . ,
The Biden campaign was the source of the statement, which helped to suppress crucial information that might have influenced the outcome of the election. According to The Federalist, several of these officials recently stated that they do not regret the letter.
” We’ve never heard from the FBI and the CIA saying,’ We messed up,'” Warner said. ” There were problems with the 2020 election, and we cannot allow it to happen again”.
