Internal email documents at Twitter reveal Arizona Governor-elect and Secretary of State Katie Hobbs allegedly colluded with former Twitter officials last year by flagging accounts related to so-called election misinformation.
The bombshell leak comes amid Elon Musk releasing internal company communications through journalist Matt Taibbi late last week, showing the company had previously censored conservatives at the behest of the Democrat Party.
According to an email on January 7, 2021, the communications director for Hobbs’ Secretary of State office emailed the Center for Internet Security (CIS), a 501 nonprofit cybersecurity organization, saying they are “flagging” an unidentified Twitter profile for review under the subject line titled “Election Related Misinformation.”
The email also included an unknown employee at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, a branch under the federal government’s Department of Homeland Security.
A representative with CIS then forwarded the message to a Twitter employee, saying, “Please see this report below from the Arizona SOS office. Please let me know if you have any questions.”
The Twitter employee then sent another email saying, “Thank you … both tweets have been removed from the service.”
Hobbs recently defeated Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake by less than one point in the 2022 midterm elections.
Arizona officials — including Arizona’s current governor Doug Ducey, the state attorney general, and chief justice — are set to certify Hobbs as the Copper State’s 24th governor based on the election result submitted by the state’s 15 counties.
Lake, who has yet to concede to her opponent based on allegations of election fraud, called the email leaks a “Conflict of Interest, Coercion, Corruption.”
She reportedly plans to sue Maricopa County — Arizona’s largest county — next week to overturn her election loss.
In a video she posted on social media, Lake said, “stay tuned,” adding her lawsuit includes “at least one smoking gun” whistleblower and a “team of patriotic, talented lawyers on a legal case to challenge the botched elections.”
“And you’ll want to stay tuned for this one,” she said. “Trust me.”
With the latest email leak from Musk and Taibbi’s “Twitter Files” alleging Hobbs and the federal government conspired with Twitter, other lawmakers have called for an investigation into the governor-elect.
Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said on Twitter, “SOS of AZ and Gov candidate, Katie Hobbs, used the power of the AZ SOS to collude w/ Twitter to unconstitutionally violate 1st Amendment rights of Americans for her own political gain.”
“This is communism and Hobbs can not be governor. I’m calling for a Federal investigation,” she added.
Texas Republican Rep. Troy Nehls on Friday called on Musk to release the names of government officials involved in censorship at Twitter.
“Investigations are coming,” Nehls said.
Clearly illegal election interference.
People are already organizing a recall election. I think she has to be in office for six months before a recall can be filed.
That is a big piece of evidence. Direct evidence that it was state action not a private company that censured the information. It wasn’t just a private political party it is from the SOS office. Therefore, clearly a violation of the 1st Amendment. Have to look at what remedies are available to those with standing outside of damages to see what can be done.
Cheating, lying, stealing, just normal Democrat behavior.
Fraud and Criminal Activity negates the need for that rule

Leaked Email PROVES Arizona Gov-Elect Katie Hobbs, Twitter Employees Colluded To Censor ‘Election Related Misinformation’.

Pfft,,, alleged,,,,weasels.
There are still people who think that some of these conspiracies can’t be true because there’s just no way to make hundreds, and thousands, even tens of thousands of people keep the secret safe.
This Twitter thing is the perfect example of how in fact, these secrets can be kept. We are dealing with a hive mind, a group that all have the same ideology and goals. You had the entire federal government, state governments, and the entire MSM working together to censor citizens with constitutional protected rights.
And it was vehemently denied by the perpetrators the entire time. And the secret never really got out until a third party basically just bought the access to the proof and released it.
Right out of Bolivia elections. She needs to be thrown in jail for once.
you would think since the revelation that she used Taxpayer Funds and Government Employee’s to suppress the citizenry, she would have been SWAT Raided, Locked Up and since she used her Official Capacity in a criminal fashion, she would be up for 100% Civil Asset Forfeiture as fruits of a Criminal Enterprise
Can anyone post a link to the statements that Ducey and Brnovich have put out, concerning this and how the AGs office is intending to proceed with any criminal or civil investigations?
I’ll wait but won’t hold my breath.
Bttt.

“If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself.”
― George Orwell, 1984
They censored election related INFORMATION!
The conventional wisdom is that a conspiracy is so hard to pull off because people talk - ("Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead." ―Ben Franklin). This maxim has been abrogated thru the use of insulators in the conspiracy of the hive mind you mention. Get a whole bunch of like minded individuals with a single goal wheras only a select number of people are doing the nefarious deed and the others surrounding the active conspirators are used as insulators who do not have all of the details and can easily claim no knowledge or deflect accusations as "conspiracy theories".
There’s no way to stop this. Cheaters cheat and when they have the media and corporations in their pockets...well it will never go away.
This makes it much harder to get to the Truth when supported by the essential hive-mentality.
