China interfered in the 2020 election, and the FBI knew that they were doing so.
That word comes from documents that Kash Patel has turned over to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa in response to requests from the Senator on the issue.

Allegations of Chinese interference in the election are hardly new. The issue came up during the campaign, and FBI Director Christopher Wray testified to Congress that the threat of foreign interference in the election came from Russian disinformation. He buried the information the FBI had gathered that indicated that China was directly interfering with the vote.
BI Director Kash Patel on Monday evening turned over to Congress an intelligence report raising concerns that China had mass-produced fake U.S. driver's licenses to carry out a scheme to hijack the 2020 election with fake mail-in ballots for Democrat Joe Biden.
The newly declassified intelligence reports from August 2020 weren’t corroborated or fully investigated and instead were recalled from intelligence agencies at about the time that then-FBI Director Chris Wray testified there were no known plots of foreign interference ahead of the 2020 election in which Biden defeated Donald Trump, officials told Just the News.
The new documents were turned over to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who had first raised concerns to the bureau that the intelligence hadn’t been fully vetted, and instead was just dismissed even though there was evidence of the fake licenses.
Conspiracy theories around the impact of ads on Facebook drove the furor over Russian interference in the 2016 election. There was no actual evidence that Russia did anything directly to influence the vote count. In contrast, China tried to or even succeeded in adding illegal voters to the rolls in an understandable attempt to sway the vote totals Biden's way.
After all, Trump mispronounces the name "Chyna!" And, more importantly, targets China as a foreign adversary.
Officials who have seen the documents told Just the News the FBI had a relatively new confidential source who provided information in summer 2020 that the Chinese government was manufacturing and exporting fake U.S. driver's licenses as part of a plot to create voter identities for Chinese residents living in the United States so they could vote with fake mail-in ballots.
The intelligence source claimed the plot was specifically designed to benefit Biden, officials said.
They also said the intelligence report was recalled within a few weeks and the allegations never fully investigated, on the grounds that the source needed to be re-interviewed.
But, in fact, another agency, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, had intercepted nearly 20,000 fake licenses around the time the intelligence came in a possible corroboration of the report, officials said.
Obviously, if the allegations are true, China failed in its mission; however, it is very troubling that Director Wray omitted the evidence they had collected, which showed that China was attempting to change vote totals in favor of Biden. Given the focus on foreign interference and the salience of relations with China to the campaign, omitting this data amounts to Director Wray's interference in the campaign.
Not that this is a surprise. James Comey messed around in politics in 2016 and subsequently. He hurt Hillary Clinton by re-injecting the email scandal at a late date, and then spent years attacking Trump. An equal opportunity a$$hole.
FBI Director Chris Wray in September, 2020 when asked about foreign interference in the election:

“Russia may be interfering to denigrate Joe Biden.”
He said this WHILE COVERING UP DOCUMENTS detailing the CCP plan to make fake IDs for fraudulent mail-in ballots for Joe Biden. https://t.co/QUF8qKhZ2q pic.twitter.com/6Au4ux4SSk
I have to admit that I think the issue of foreign interference--as long as it doesn't amount to actual attempts to commit election fraud as is the case with China--is way overblown. As frustrating as it is, all countries try to interfere in the elections of others. Great Britain gets involved in American elections--the Labor Party actually sent campaign workers to help Kamala Harris--and the United States returns the favor.
How many times have Democrats tried to interfere in Israeli elections? It's a part of life in the real world.
The US even goes further, pushing "Color Revolutions" in hostile countries.
Hi @MSNBC, when will you retract this and issue Trump an apology? https://t.co/QUF8qKiwRY pic.twitter.com/t3aQuKE2qe

Propaganda efforts are one thing, but election fraud is another. It appears that there is credible evidence suggesting China attempted the latter, although the evidence falls short of conclusive proof.
In either case, China's smuggling of fake licenses into the country is the least of our concerns about the country. They have infiltrated our vital infrastructure, smuggled biological warfare agents into our country, and have even set up Chinese police units in the country. And, of course, they are threatening one of the most important economies to us, Taiwan.
That's reason enough to be pissed at them.
As for Christopher Wray, if he really did cover this up, it's one more reason to be pissed at him, and throw him in jail if possible.
