White House Chief of Staff Warns of a Potential Lawsuit Against Tech Giants

By Masooma Haq, EPOCHTIMES, October 19, 2020:

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on Monday suggested that the Trump administration would bring a lawsuit against the social media companies that have recently restricted and blocked news reports about Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

In an interview on “Fox & Friends,” Meadows said that the online platforms try to censor conservatives and suggested that if the story about Joe and Hunter Biden was about President Donald Trump and his family, tech companies would have not blocked the story.

“They have two standards: one for one campaign, one for the other. But I do believe that additional lawsuits will be filed perhaps as early as today to go after that,” Meadows said.

“Listen, it’s not just the campaigns,” he added. “They’re now starting to censor, actually, reporters. That’s a dangerous place for them to go when they’re the arbiter of what they deem to be the truth.”

The Chief of Staff’s comments come in the wake of a report by the New York Post alleging to have obtained emails from a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden. Many Democrats have claimed the story is an effort to discredit Joe Biden and an attempt by Russia to help elect Trump. So far, neither of the Bidens have denied the authenticity of the emails.

The threat of a lawsuit was also prompted by the actions Twitter took to lock Trump’s reelection campaign account last Thursday for trying to share the New York Post story.

Meadows said he has not received any intelligence suggesting that the Russians were involved in the emails being extracted from Hunter Biden’s laptop as Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) has alleged.

“All of this narrative that is out there that would suggest that it’s not real, that’s the disinformation. You know, Adam Schiff came on and said, ‘Oh, this is Russia, Russia, Russia,’ and again, I can tell you this is Adam Schiff once again trying to spin a story that’s not accurate.” Meadows said, “I talked to director Ratcliffe over the weekend and I said, ‘Listen, if this is a Russian disinformation campaign, we need to make sure the American people know that.’ His response to me is that he had no knowledge of that.”

Schiff, who is the chairman of the House intelligence committee, has repeatedly asserted, without evidence, that the Trump 2016 campaign colluded with Russia and now is claiming that Trump is working with Russia to hurt Biden’s campaign.

“We know that this whole smear on Joe Biden comes from the Kremlin,” the California Democrat said on CNN last week, claiming that “the Kremlin has an obvious interest in denigrating Joe Biden,” and that “they want Donald Trump to win.”

When Schiff was asked about specific intelligence about the Kremlin’s involvement with disinformation about Biden, the Representative was unable to provide any evidence, saying that the Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe was not “forthcoming” with intelligence.

“And frankly, we haven’t got much from the intelligence community very recently, which concerns me,” added Schiff.

Meanwhile, Ratcliffe told Fox News on Monday that there is no intelligence to suggest the Hunter Biden email scandal is led by Russia.

“It’s funny that some of the people who complain the most about intelligence being politicized are the ones politicizing the intelligence,” Ratcliffe said. “Unfortunately, in this case it is Adam Schiff, who said the intelligence community believes the Hunter Biden laptop and emails on it are part of a Russian disinformation campaign.”

He continued, “Let me be clear: the intelligence community doesn’t believe that because there is no intelligence that supports that. And we have shared no [such] intelligence with Chairman Schiff or any other member of Congress.”

Trump:“We have got to get the attorney general to act. He’s got to act and he’s got to act fast,” Trump told Fox News on Tuesday morning, referring to a New York Post report about Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine and China. Later, he said Barr should handle the matter. “He’s gotta appoint somebody,” the president said. “This is major corruption and this has to be known about before the election.”

Breaking: “Today’s lawsuit is the most important antitrust case in a generation,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) said in a statement after the filing. “Google and its fellow Big Tech monopolists exercise unprecedented power over the lives of ordinary Americans, controlling everything from the news we read to the security of our most personal information. And Google in particular has gathered and maintained that power through illegal means.”

Have A.G. Barr and FBI head Christopher Wray joined Biden hiding in the basement?

He will act just as fast as he has been acting with Hillary emails, Jeffrey Epstein, Big Tech censorship etc… It’s become ridiculous in our banana republic.

Instead of a bed time story, little Hunter gets a crack pipe as his pacifier.

Ellison beat up any girlfriends lately? Most people in government would leave public office understanding that what they had done was wrong. I suppose he doesn’t believe that his actions were wrong.

Why isn’t he in jail?

Has there ever been a bigger disgrace and coward than Supreme Court swamp creature John Roberts?
John Roberts looks like a fiend straight out of Reefer Madness, but it’s more likely a pill issue with him.
In his M.O. established when he re-jiggered obamacare in the 11th hour to pass it, Roberts now adamantly ignores Pennsylvania law requiring all votes to be in by the time polls close on Election Day to side with Leftist obama judges Kagan and Sotomayor (and feckless Breyer) to tip scale against Trump in what could be this election’s key state.
If Lindsey Graham would not have chosen Senate decorum over winning, dragging out the appointment of Amy Coney Barrett, we could have had an American Supreme Court by the time of yesterday’s infamous decision on Pennsylvania.
These are precisely the margins (illegal and non-existent) that the illegitimate love child of Robert Mugabe and Charles Johnson, with DNA from Kadahfi — call him Hussein — forced a Third World tyranny of obamacare on an unsuspecting white people ten years ago. Graham and Roberts better hope Pennsylvania doesn’t cost us America’s future.
As hire As.
Bs hire Cs.
And George W. Bush hires John Roberts.
What a fiasco.

I was shocked by the decision. Essentially rewriting the law, which is not their job to do.

Why is it fine and no problem to have a left leaning court but so horrible and democracy killing to have a conservative court? Someone, please explain.

First step is to rescind Section 230 which gives these outlets protections as a utility. Do this by Executive action. As Obama said, “I have a pen and will use it”. Then sue. This can all be done within 24 hours.
