"people need to know that the FBI had this laptop belonging to Hunter Biden in December of 2019. You At the same time, Shellenberger said, the bureau pushed Twitter staffers to receive top-level security clearance in July 2020, in an effort to show what they claimed were threats posed to the November 2020 presidential election by foreign interference.
'So there was relentless pressure by FBI agents on Twitter to basically adapt its content moderation, also to share information.
'Then you had these forces inside Twitter, former FBI officials, particularly Jim Baker, who very strenuously argued for the censorship of the New York Post reporting on Hunter Biden's laptop, and these emails showing very questionable relations with China and the country,' Shellenberger explained.
He said: 'More investigative work needs to be done, but this looks like a kind of psychological operation that you would see the CIA conducting in foreign countries, not something that you would see intelligence agents in the US perpetrating against news organizations, but also social media platforms, namely Twitter and Facebook.'
Shellenberger added that he thought his reporting revealed a 'disturbing pattern' within the FBI.

The journalist then explained that he thinks 'there are some key facts that everybody should know about,' saying nobody wants 'your most important police organization, the FBI, politicized and engaging in dirty campaign tricks.
'People need to know that the FBI had this laptop belonging to Hunter Biden in December of 2019,' he said.
'You then had the FBI, for all of 2020, running an operation to convince news organizations and social media platforms that there would be some sort of a leak of Hunter Biden information right before the elections of 2020.
'You also had Giuliani, who was under FBI surveillance, give this laptop to the New York Post, and then you see [a] very interesting exchange of information between the FBI and Twitter around that period, back and forth.
'So there's a lot of smoke,' Shellenberger told Carlson.
'I think the bottom line is we need a serious Congressional investigation,' Shellenberger concluded.
'We very well may need an independent prosecutor to weed out these politicized elements of the FBI.'
Jim Baker (left) who, before serving as deputy general counsel for Twitter held a similar role for the FBI, worked with FBI officials like Assistant Special Agent Elvis Chan (right), to push a narrative that the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop had been hacked by Russian agents
Shellenberger tweeted on Monday that their efforts paid off, and Twitter censored the story just hours after it was published
Shellenberger on Monday became the most recent journalist to make public internal documents from Twitter showing how it suppressed conservative voices before took over the company last month.
The documents he released show how Baker worked with the FBI to try to push a narrative that the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop had been hacked by Russian agents and placed on the laptop, which was later found in a Delaware repair shop.
Together, Baker and the FBI were able to claim that the laptop never belonged to Hunter at all — and convinced Twitter executives to block the New York Post's reporting of the story on the social media website.
According to the documents, less than two hours after Hunter Biden's attorney found out about the New York Post's story on the laptop, FBI agent Elvis Chan sent a collection of documents to Twitter's then-head of site integrity, .
Elon Musk took over the company last month, but may now step down following the results of a poll about his time as CEO
Then when the New York Post published its findings the next day, any mentions of it were almost immediately censored by Twitter and thus undermined in the public eye.
The FBI had apparently advised Twitter to be on the lookout for Russian misinformation about him — even as the future First Son was earning millions of dollars in shady foreign business dealings.
'During all of 2020, the FBI and other law enforcement agencies repeatedly primed Yoel Roth to dismiss reports of Hunter Biden's laptop as a Russian "hacк and leak" operation,' Shellenberger wrote.
Despite those efforts by the FBI, Twitter executives found there had been 'very little' Russian activity that raised any suspicions.
'Indeed, Twitter executives *repeatedly* reported very little Russian activity.
E.g., on Sept 24, 2020, Twitter told FBI it had removed 345 'largely inactive' accounts 'linked to previous coordinated Russian hacking attempts.' They "had little reach & low follower accounts,"' he wrote.
Still, Shellenberger revealed, the FBI repeatedly reached out to the social media company and requested further information, which Twitter declined to disclose.
But in July 2020, Chan arranged security clearance for Twitter officials so they could be told about election interference the Bureau said it was expecting to see in the Trump-Biden runoff.
At that point, Baker decided to get involved, citing his previous secret security clearance at the FBI — where he had been involved in one of the Bureau's investigations into Donald Trump.
Chan acted as if he were surprised when he was told Baker was at Twitter and had clearance, saying: 'I don't know how I forgot him.'
'An odd claim, given Chan's job is to monitor Twitter, not to mention that they worked together at the FBI,' Shellenberger noted.
Once Baker was given clearance, Shellenberger wrote that the FBI fed him information intended to influence Roth and other Twitter executives into believing that the laptop story was hacked.
FBI official Laura Dehmlow even arranged for a classified briefing for Baker and nobody else at Twitter.
Jim Baker expressed his belief that the Hunter Biden laptop story was the result of fabrications
Twitter's then-head of site integrity, Yoel Roth, eventually conceded that he thought the Hunter Biden laptop story may have been faked in some way
At first, the internal communications reveal, Roth resisted the idea that Twitter was experiencing any foreign interference.
But when the Post published the laptop story in October, he conceded that the laptop might have been planted as a 'subtle leak operation.
'On Oct 14, shortly after @NYPost publishes its Hunter Biden laptop story, Roth says, "It iѕn't clearly violative օf ᧐ur Hackеd Materials Policy, nor is it clearly in violation of anything else," but adds, "This feels a lot like a somewhat ѕᥙbtle leak operation.'' Shellenberger wrote.
Bakeг tһen used the oppoгtunity tⲟ harp on the idea that the laptоⲣ's contents were in ѕome way іlleցіtimate.
'Baker repeatedlｙ insists that the Hunter Biden materials were eіther faked, hacked, оr both, zaujimavosti and a vіolation of Twitter polіcy,' Shellenberger said.
By 10am that mοｒning Twitter offiсials — citing 'expеrts' — had agreed that the laptop's contents must have bеen hacked from another source and placed on the laptop.
'The sսggestion from experts — which rings true — is there was a hack that happеned separately, and they loaded the hacked materials on the laptop that magically appearеd at a repair shoр in Delaware,' Shellenberger said Roth wrote in an ｅmail.
Later that afternoon, Βaker had ɑ phone call with thе Office of the General Counsel of the FBI.
Sheⅼlenberger suggested it wаs obvious that the FᏴI's pressures on Twitter executіves led direｃtly to them assuming thе position that thе ⅼaptop story had been faked.
