The White House Government Transparency Task Force released a trove of intelligence community records on Wednesday, including a recovered FBI spreadsheet. It cataloged more than six dozen prominent Americans, foreigners, and organizations tied to the Biden-Ukraine scandal and Donald Trump's 2019 impeachment. Democrats, including the Bidens, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Barack Obama, and George Soros, were labeled "targets" of Russian disinformation. Conservatives investigating the Bidens, including Fox News, One America News, Michael Caputo, and Rudy Giuliani, were branded "conduits" spreading it.

It gets worse.

The FBI also tagged Trump's own Cabinet officials, Bill Barr and Mike Pompeo, along with Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), then-Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), as disinformation "conduits." For what? Investigating whether the Biden corruption allegations were true. The FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force signed off on every single assessment.

This didn't happen by accident.

The designations came from a secret counterintelligence operation codenamed "Round River," which FBI analysts launched during the 2020 election. They claimed they were fighting "malign foreign influence," but that’s not what it was about. In reality, it functioned as the mirror image of Crossfire Hurricane, the bureau's years-long pursuit of the fantasy that Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election. Where Crossfire Hurricane chased evidence that didn't exist, Round River buried evidence that did, including Hunter Biden's laptop.
