Project Veritas published a newly leaked document provided by an FBI whistleblower.
The document is titled “2022 Midterm Elections Social Media Analysis Cheat Sheet,” and outlines what the FBI is referring to as “election crimes”.
“Disinformation” is included as one of these crimes, defined as “false or inaccurate information intended to mislead others. Disinformation campaigns on social media are used to deliberately confuse, trick, or upset the public.”
Also being targeted are crimes related to “misinformation,” defined on the sheet as “false or misleading information spread mistakenly or unintentionally.”
More from Project Veritas:
These categories could raise questions about who gets to determine what is “misinformation” and/or “disinformation.”
Recently, the Biden administration attempted to create the “Disinformation Governance Board” under the Department of Homeland Security. After severe pushback from the public due to free speech concerns, the federal government pulled the plug on this idea.
In another section of the leaked document labelled “Things to Consider,” the FBI reminded its agents that the First Amendment and Fourth Amendment exist. Both amendments are in the Bill of Rights and protect Americans’ rights to free speech and against “unreasonable” searches or seizures.
The Bureau also flagged the potential for “Voter/Ballot Fraud” in this election, an activity that some have attempted to rule out as a threat to the American electoral system.
