On Thursday, the House Oversight Committee called for an FBI investigation into Parler’s involvement in the deadly attack on the Capitol this month.
In a letter sent to FBI Director Christopher Wray, House Oversight Chair Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) called for the bureau to “conduct a robust examination of the role that the social media site Parler played” in the January 6th pro-Trump assault on the Capitol. Maloney said that the committee intends to open its own investigation and requested a meeting with FBI officials regarding the status and scope of any future investigation into the social media platform.

The feds are working with FaceBook to get info on individual users that may have been in the Capitol, but they are planning on investigating Parler for contributing to the Capitol seige?
The hypocrisy is at 11.

The only crimes this criminal enterprise chooses to investigate are the crimes never committed. It would have a lifetime’s worth of crimes to investigate even if they only investigated themselves.

Yeah, cuz they might have incited riots and stuff.
Not like Twitter or Facebook, or a majority of Democrat politicians did in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Chicago, New York . . .

It’s not hypocrisy, its just that the mask has slipped.
The rules were never meant to be a level playing field, and don’t apply equally to everyone. It’s all agitprop and power politics from here on out.
The sooner we recognize this, the better.
