(NRCC News) – We just might be getting closer to some accountability for the federal government interfering in the 2020 presidential election. On Wednesday, a Louisiana judge ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to release files that could show how five agents in the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) worked to suppress social media content related to elections.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry took action to release testimony from CISA employees Chad Josiah, Rob Schaul, Alex Zaheer, John Stafford, and Pierce Lowary after learning that they participated in the Biden regime’s scheme to combat supposed “disinformation,” Jan. 19 court documents reveal.
The lawsuit, which names Joe Biden and top regime officials along with the aforementioned individuals, alleges that the defendants “colluded and/or coerced social media companies to suppress disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and content on social media platforms by labeling the content ‘dis-information,’ ‘mis-information,’ and ‘mal-formation.'”
The judge’s motion could expose a “switchboarding” tactic used by these nefarious actors during the 2020 election.

The tactic allegedly involved the five CISA employees serving as a “switchboard” to route requests from federal agencies to censor information deemed to be “disinformation” to various social media and Big Tech companies.
Switchboard work employed “an audit official to identify something on social media they deemed to be disinformation aimed at their jurisdiction,” top CISA election security agent Brian Skully testified in a deposition released Thursday. “They could forward that to CISA and CISA would share that with the appropriate social media companies.”
Skully’s deposition gave details regarding the participation of the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security’s intelligence branch and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in meetings with social media firms geared towards fighting “misinformation” during the 2020 and 2022 election cycles.

The notices were supposedly meant to provide social media companies with “situational awareness regarding attempts to spread disinformation on their platforms,” the Daily Caller reports. Skully contended, “the idea was that they would make decisions on the content that was forwarded to them based on their policies.”
The deposition also notes that CISA colluded with the Center for Internet Security, a nonprofit aimed at protecting against cybersecurity threats that also plays a regulatory role in election infrastructure.
Missouri AG Andrew Bailey said in a statement that Skully’s deposition proves the Biden regime “weaponized” CISA in order to intentionally “suppress domestic free speech.” CISA was created by Congress in 2018 to combat cyber threats to critical digital and physical infrastructure. It was not created for election tampering, which is what the Deep State used it for.
How much more evidence do we need that the Biden regime and the Deep State actively worked to interfere in and influence US elections over the course of the last 3 years? The American people have seen the proof. Now it’s time for accountability and justice.
