Conservatives are bouncing off the walls are the most recent Twitter files drop.
Not only were the FBI and Twitter working together, but it appears that the FBI was using our money to pay Twitter.
This went well beyond just one story or a few people the agency wanted censored.
This was an ongoing partnership.
Block It
Constitutional expert Jonathan Turley did an extensive op-ed on the collusion between Twitter and the FBI.
He wrote, “Writer Michael Shellenberger added critical details on how the FBI was directly engaged in censorship at the company.
“However, this batch of documents contains a particularly menacing element to the FBI-Twitter censorship alliance.
“The documents show what writer Shellenberger described as a concentrated effort ‘to discredit leaked information about Hunter Biden before and after it was published.’”
Where the FBI is going to have a problem is that it had a copy of the laptop in its possession.
Point being, the FBI could have easily verified or debunked the story.
It chose neither.
Instead, it pushed Twitter to block the story as a potential Russian disinformation campaign.
Saying the FBI has to be disbanded or defunded is a bit extreme, but it does call for an extensive investigation, which was the same conclusion Turley reached.
He stated, “It is clear that any such reforms should include a full investigation of the FBI and its involvement in censorship efforts.
“As many as 80 agents reportedly were committed to this effort.
“It is clear now that, if we are to end censorship by surrogate, the House will have to ‘probe and push everywhere’ in the FBI for answers.”
