According to a December 2, 2022 Fox News exclusive report titled “FBI met weekly with Big Tech ahead of the 2020 election, agent testifies: FBI Agent Elvis Chan testified Tuesday to Missouri and Louisiana attorneys general”:
On Tuesday [November 29, 2022], lawyers from the offices of Attorneys General Eric Schmitt of Missouri and Jeff Landry of Louisiana deposed FBI Supervisory Special Agent Elvis Chan as part of their lawsuit against the Biden administration.” That suit accuses high-ranking government officials of working with giant social media companies “under the guise of combating misinformation” to achieve greater censorship.
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt is the United States Senator-elect from Missouri, a situation that likely strikes fear into the hearts of any U.S. officials of democrats who were involved in federal government meddling in the 2020 election in order to illegally defeat President Trump and install CCP-connected Joe Biden.
“According to the complaint, pursuant to a third-party subpoena, Meta identified the FBI’s Foreign Interference Task Force and Chan as involved in the communications between the FBI and Meta that led to Facebook’s suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story,” the Fox News report states.
Missouri AG Schmitt tweeted on Tuesday, December 2, 2022:
BREAKING: In our deposition of FBI agent Elvis Chan on Tuesday, we found that the FBI plays a big role in working with social media companies to censor speech – from weekly meetings with social media companies ahead of the 2020 election to asks for account takedowns.
FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) Elvis Chan, assigned to the FBI’s San Francisco bureau, located near Silicon Valley and the major social media companies, stated during a public presentation:
I’m going to dive in a little bit more just on the Russia portion, and specifically on election security, which has been my passion since 2016 … A recent Monmouth University poll from last year showed that 32 percent of Americans still think that the election was rigged so that President Biden is in office right now. And where does that 30 percent of Americans who still think that? The reason for that, I would argue to you, is disinformation … I would say before the 2016 elections, none of us even thought about voter fraud or any of these things … I see a couple of my CISA colleagues up here, the Cybersecurity And Infrastructure Security Agency worked really well … the 2020 elections, and I will quote Chris Krebs, former CISA director, was ‘the most secure in U.S. history.’
Who Is Elvis Chan?
According to ClassCreator.com, a student named Elvis Ming Chang graduated in 1987 from Ingraham High School, located in the Seattle neighborhood of Haller Lake.
Also located in Seattle’s Haller Lake neighborhood is the elite private Lakeside School, the alma mater of Microsoft co-founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen. Chan’s alma mater Ingraham High School and Gates’ alma mater Lakeside School are located less than a mile apart — about three blocks.
“I used to work in the semiconductor industry for fourteen years before I joined the bureau,” Chan stated.
According to Google Patents, an inventor named Elvis Chan is listed as the co-inventor on a patent for NEC Electronics America filed in 2005 titled “CMP wafer contamination reduced by insitu clean” and a patent filed in 2004 for NEC semiconductor spin-off Renasus titled “Metal capping of damascene structures to improve reliability using hyper selective chemical-mechanical deposition.”
“In one Chinese village, he [Ted J. Glum, director of the DoD’s Defense Microelectronics Activity unit] noted, Japanese tech giant NEC discovered that counterfeiters had brazenly duplicated an NEC assembly line, complete with fake NEC signage outside,” Forbes reported in a September 4, 2008 article titled “Pentagon Worries About Chinese Chips.”
According to a biography of Elvis Chan, posted at “The Official Cybersecurity Summit, Founded 1993”:
Elvis Chan is an Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) assigned to FBI San Francisco. ASAC Chan manages the field office’s Cyber Branch, which is responsible for cyber investigations, digital forensics, technical operations, community engagement, and public affairs. With over 16 years in the Bureau, he is a decorated agent who is recognized within the Intelligence Community as an election cybersecurity and cyberterrorism expert. ASAC Chan was the lead agent on significant cyber investigations and managed joint counterterrorism operations with domestic and foreign law enforcement agencies. Prior to joining the Bureau, ASAC Chan was a process development engineer in the semiconductor industry for almost 12 years. He holds two U.S. patents, presents at many technical and law enforcement symposiums, and published multiple articles in journals.

FBI Agents Elvis Chan And Laura Dehmlow Were “involved in the communications between the FBI and Meta that led to Facebook’s suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story” According To Missouri AG’s Lawsuit Against The Biden Administration
According to the Second Amended Complaint Missouri v. Biden:
-
- Pursuant to the third-party subpoena, Meta has identified the FBI’s FITF [Foreign Interference Task Force], as supervised by Laura Dehmlow, and Elvis Chan as involved in the communications between the FBI and Meta that led to Facebook’s suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story.
-
- Dehmlow evidently works with CISA on social-media censorship issues. On March 1, 2022, Dehmlow gave a presentation to CISA’s Protecting Critical Infrastructure from Misinformation & Disinformation Subcommittee in which Dehmlow indicated that the FBI’s FITF “engages … with appropriate partners for information exchange.” On information and belief, this “information exchange” includes communications with social-media platforms about censorship and/or suppression of social-media speech.

FBI FITF Section Chief Laura Dehmlow and former CISA Director Christopher Krebs were both 2022 Conference Speakers at The Cipher Brief 2022 Threat Conference. Other speakers included General Michael Hayden (Ret.) and General David Petraeus (Ret.).
“According to campaign finance records, Dehmlow gave $60 to the Democratic National Committee in 2020. Chan contributed $50 each to Democratic Georgia Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock for their runoff campaigns in November 2020,” The Washington Free Beacon reported in an October 10, 2022 article titled “FBI Officials Who Briefed Facebook on Hunter Biden Story Are Dem Donors.”
Five Months Before 2020 Election, Twitter Hired Former FBI General Counsel James Baker; Baker Is Still Twitter’s Attorney As Of November 2022
The New York Post reported on June 16, 2022 article titled “Twitter hires former FBI lawyer James Baker to join legal team,” “Twitter has tapped former FBI general counsel James Baker, a central player in the Russia collusion investigation, to serve as counsel to the tech giant.
Bloomberg Law reported on November 22, 2022:
The most senior in-house attorneys left at the company [Twitter] are Baker, a former general counsel of the FBI hired by Twitter in 2020, and Lima, the international legal head who recently relocated to the US, the people familiar said.
Baker and Lima didn’t respond to requests for comment.
We previously reported at The American Report on July 13, 2017 that Senior U.S. District Judge for the District of Columbia “struck a limited immunity agreement for Montgomery with the FBI.” At the time that Judge Lamberth struck Montgmery’s limited immunity agreement with the FBI, future Twitter Deputy General Counsel James Baker was the FBI’s general counsel.
“FBI Director James Comey demanded that the FBI be given the source code to SCORECARD, the election-hacking application that operates on THE HAMMER surveillance supercomputer platform, as a condition of CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis L. Montgomery’s 2015 FBI and DOJ immunity agreements, according to Montgomery,” we previously reported in a December 18, 2020 article at The American Report titled “STEALING AMERICA: ‘Former’ Communist Comey Got SCORECARD Election Hacking Source Code And Knew SolarWinds Was Not Secure: US District Court Judge Richard Leon Confirmed That ICIG Had Possession Of Montgomery’s Recorded Testimony And Hard Drives.”
Montgomery states that he “implanted a unique digital signature within the source code” of SCORECARD, The American Report reported on May 17, 2021.
“As for outside firms that have been doing work for Twitter, Perkins Coie has represented the company on data privacy and litigation-related matters. The firm handled more than 25% of Twitter’s litigation in US federal courts within the last five years, Bloomberg Law data shows, Bloomberg Law reported on November 22, 2022.
MORE FBI COUP RUSSIA COLLUSION: Elvis Chan’s 2021 Master’s Degree Thesis From The Naval Postgraduate School Doubles Down On Mueller’s Hoax Trump Russian Collusion Conspiracy Theory Peddled By The New York Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, And CNN
The following quotes, pulled directly from Elvis Chan’s 2021 Master’s Degree thesis at the Naval Postgraduate School, promote the completely ridiculous and upside down Deep State Intelligence Community narrative promoted by former FBI Director Robert Mueller and the mainstream media that ex-KGB officer Vladimir Putin and the Russian intelligence services support Republican Donald Trump and oppose Democrats Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.
Chan’s skewed thesis, titled “Fighting Bears and Trolls: An Analysis of Social Media Companies and U.S. Government Efforts to Combat Russian Influence Campaigns during the 2020 U.S. Elections,” reads like a rote, unimaginative FBI road map for the far-left media hacks who continue to push the hoax Trump Russian collusion conspiracy theory that was cooked up by the Hillary Clinton campaign, Perkins Coie, John Brennan, Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele, Robert Mueller, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and FBI General Counsel James Baker (later hired by Twitter) as part of the FBI’s seditious Crossfire Hurricane operation:
1. Over the course of my career, I’ve seen a number of challenges to our democracy. The Russian government’s effort to interfere in our election is among the most serious.
―Robert S. Mueller III, July 24, 2019
This statement from the well-respected former FBI Director underscored the severity of the Russian actions to interfere with the 2016 U.S. elections.
2. Mueller and his team had two main findings regarding the Russian influence campaign. First, the report found that the IRA’s [Russia’s Internet Research Agency’s] social media campaign aimed to sow discord in the U.S. elections but pivoted to favoring Donald Trump when it became apparent he would be the Republican presidential nominee. Second, Mueller’s team concluded that the hack and dump attack against the DNC was intended to harm Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
3. In March 2021, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) issued an unclassified version of the intelligence community assessment summarizing foreign state-sponsored threats to the 2020 U.S. elections. In particular, the ODNI’s report provided a succinct but comprehensive overview of the Russian influence campaign, which focused on damaging the Biden presidential campaign and favoring the Trump campaign.
4. …the ODNI assessment emphasized the ongoing and concerted Russian disinformation campaign, which was designed to promote the reelection of President Trump, denigrate Joe Biden and the Democratic Party, erode trust in the election process, and inflame political and social tensions within the United States.
Chan Is Still Pushing The FBI’s Big Lie
Elvis Chan presented the “findings” of his Master’s Thesis in several YouTube videos, one of which was uploaded just two weeks ago, during which Chan dutifully narrates in a flat, uninspired delivery tone that sound like he is reading from a script.
