Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey apologized on Wednesday night after the social media giant faced backlash over its decision to block links to a story which claims Joe Biden met with a Ukrainian businessman while he was Vice President.

It came just an hour after President Donald Trump threatened to remove the US legal protections that exempts the likes of Twitter and Facebook from liability for the material users post on their networks.

Trump called for the law, known as Section 230, to be repealed as he blasted the social media giants as 'terrible' for 'reducing circulation' of a New York Post article which published the claims about his rival Biden earlier in the day.

Well, at least we know the American media will be covering this story 24/7 for the next 3 weeks.

Just kidding, of course.

Yeah, Rudy said he has 1000 photos and enough emails to string out the release over the next 5 days.

This may be an unintended Trump “October Surprise.”

Unintended. heh heh.

Weren’t the DEMS pounding Watergate over the heads of Republicans for 50 years with “the cover-up is worse than the crime”?

The FBI also has some splainin’ to do. When, exactly, were they planning on “looking into” this? The have had that hard disk for quite some time. Maybe Hillary wiped it with a cloth or something.

Clear the path of the gatekeepers on this first exposure, for all the follow-on revelations.

Drip, Drip, Drip.

Every day, expose another stinking turd of corruption from the Biden Crime Family.

I do not want the government to take on big tech ,as in punishment -fines or Immures - for censorship. They are a private company.
That said. They can be cut out of government contracts as they cannot be trusted. Monopoly protections cancelled.

"Apology," my ass. There's no apology there.

Deeper into the article, near the end...

Regardless, two agents from the FBI - possibly from its Baltimore office - came to pick up the laptop on December 9, he said, bringing with them a subpoena for it - although that document is dated December 19.

He said that the next day, they [FBI] phoned him to ask for help getting the laptop to work and he told them which power cord to get.

The FBI couldn't figure out which power cord was required for that Macintosh? The FBI? Really? With their crime labs?

I just don't get how anybody could be so stupid as to drop off THREE Macs for repair knowing one of them had tens thousands of incriminating documents and not return for them for MONTHS and not return phone calls from the shop owner saying "Come get your computers." I honestly have to wonder if this is really the way that the FBI and Rudy Giuliani came to possess the documents.

Also...

MacIsaac [repair shop owner] said he had acted to pass on the laptop to Giuliani because he feared being killed because of what was in his possession saying: 'I'm pretty vocal about not wanting to get murdered.'

'Did you genuinely think Joe Biden would put your life in danger?' he was asked.

'People that work for him, sure.'

He went on to talk about Epstein and Seth Rich.

But the entire DM article is excellent and chock full of detail I’ve not seen elsewhere. They do good investigative reporting. I can overlook their taking license with the word “apology” given the good work they have done here.

They have no problem publishing our President’s STOLEN tax records but refuse to publish an ALLEGED criminal act and pictures of Hunter with a crack pipe.
