A new report coming soon from Jim Jordan’s “Weaponization” committee accuses the FBI and the Ukrainian SBU of passing flawed intel along to Meta on Russian disinformation efforts during the ongoing war, resulting in a number of legitimately American accounts – including a Russian language one run by the US State Department – getting squashed for propaganda, CNN reports.

“Some of the accounts that the FBI passed on to Meta for review, according to the report, were actually criticizing Russia and its war on Ukraine,” CNN writes in their preview of the draft report which sure makes it sound like a good faith effort. Now of course it’s a problem if the FBI and SBU fucked up and ended up getting Meta to kill off the wrong accounts. That sucks for the users, especially the anti-war ones. But is it that big of a problem? More to the point, is Jordan really all that worried about what were probably at most a few hundred user accounts on the margins that got squashed because of incompetence in the FBI, SBU, and Meta’s execution or is he opening a window for Putin fanboys to attack them on their intent and objective?

Well we already decided that it’s the second one, hence the headline. It’s just really not that hard to see where this is going. It’s a win-win for old Gymbo: All the American accounts that were paid to push the Kremlin line and/or those MAGA assholes who were simply rooting for Russia on their own accord are going to end up being painted as victims of the Biden Administration “collusion with Big Tech” AND again shade Ukraine a nefarious actor. Jordan won’t come out and defend shit like former Trump-Russia investigation convict George Papadopoulos tweeting “Breaking: Zelensky, after saying he would not abandon Ukraine, has fled the country” in early March 2022, no. Jordan’s too chickenshit to get into specific situations like that. He will however happily attack the entire effort against such disinformation to make it easier for the Russians overall.
