After learning that Facebook spied on those who doubted the 2020 election recount, the Center for Renewing America (CRA) filed a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) against Mark Zuckerberg for allegedly influencing that election. Meta's CEO sent the FBI reports on comments from these doubters’ profiles which ultimately benefited Joe Biden.

According to FOX Business, the lawsuit filed this Thursday included Zuckerberg's wife, Priscilla Chan, and three entities that advocate for voting rights. The following organizations have been involved: the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR) and the National Vote at Home Institute (NVAHI).

"Launching" Biden

Zuckerberg and Chan's goal was to "launch" Biden into the U.S. presidency through a $500 million donation. They achieved this through a scheme linking Meta's CEO and his wife to the three defendant’s organizations.

Zuckerberg and Chan took advantage of the fact that the three organizations being sued were tax-exempt and whose recipients were Democratic officials in swing states such as Arizona or Pennsylvania. As a result, the CRA charged them with tax fraud:

Then they couldn't take a tax deduction, so they disguised the political nature of their donations and shuffled them through 'charitable' intermediaries, making ordinary Americans foot the bill. We leave it to the IRS to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to sustain a criminal investigation of Chan or Zuckerberg for tax fraud.

To channel these grants, they hired former Obama campaign manager David Plouffe, who was responsible for injecting them into the defendant’s organizations and thus influencing Biden's victory. The CRA considers that it would be "foolish" to think that they did not act in a partisan manner.

The Center for American Renewal called Zuckerberg's alleged actions in the past presidential election "beyond disgraceful."

It is beyond embarrassing to imagine federal taxpayers subsidizing the partisan preferences of billionaires who could easily have given to a Democratic super PAC (political action committee) in 2020.

Hunter Biden’s Computer

The FBI pressured Facebook to censor information and comments about the Hunter Biden computer case, which Zuckerberg acknowledged in an interview:

The background here is the FBI basically came to us — some of the folks on our team —and said, 'Hey, just so you know, you should be on high alert: We thought there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election, we have it on notice that basically there's about to be some kind of dump that's similar to that, so just be vigilant.

Mark Zuckerberg added, "If the FBI comes to us and tells us we should be on guard about something, I take it very seriously." Later, Meta's CEO commented that he did not recall whether the FBI referred to the Hunter Biden matter, but said that it "fit the pattern" of the FBI.

Hunter Biden's computer case may have influenced the 2020 presidential election, in which his father Joe Biden, emerged victorious and was named President of the United States.
