Staff Reports
In a surprising move, Jim Jordan, who is the head of the House Judiciary Committee, has sent a subpoena to Elvis Chan, who is the Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's San Francisco Field Office. And what has Chan done to be so popular? Well, he is part of the effort by Big Tech to censor the 2020 election. Finally, someone is doing something about the clear bias of these tech giants.

The Department of Justice tried to stop Chan from taking part in an interview that he wanted to do on his own. But Chairman Jordan would not let that go. He knows how important monitoring is and wants to know how much the Executive Branch has worked with companies like Facebook and Twitter to stop people from saying what they want to say. And who better than Chan, who was the main link between the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force and social media companies, to put light on this issue?
The main issue here is how the federal government and these social media giants are working together to silence unpopular political views. It goes against our rights under the First Amendment, and Jordan is resolved to find out what happened. He says that both court cases and publicly available information have already shown that the federal government has been pressuring and working with Big Tech to block certain points of view. It's time for Congress to stop this violation of our freedoms.
The fact that the FBI and the Committee couldn't agree on how to handle Chan's interview only made Jordan more determined. He didn't have any other choice but to send the order. He knows that it's important to know how much the FBI has to do with this control. We, the people, have a right to know how much our own government has used social media and tech companies to quiet us and how much they have been forced to do so.
It's important to note that this subpoena comes in the middle of the legal fight in Missouri v. Biden, where states led by Republicans are challenging the administration's cooperation with big social media companies. This fight isn't over yet, and Agent Chan's subpoena is just one more step toward holding those guilty for this censorship accountable.
Recent information from Chan's statement shows that the FBI works closely with Big Tech in important ways. During the 2020 election cycle, the FBI has been busy censoring speech. For example, it has asked for particular accounts to be taken down and hid certain stories. It's wrong and can't be allowed.
The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals recently upheld a decision that the acts of the Biden administration violated our right to free speech. Now, everyone is waiting to see what the Supreme Court will decide about this problem. We must pray that they make the right choice and keep these tyrannical forces from taking away our civil rights.
In the meantime, let's praise Chairman Jordan for always trying to do what's right. It's nice to see someone in Congress speaking out against Big Tech's censoring machine. We need more leaders like him who will stand up for our right to free speech no matter what.
