Part Six of the Twitter Files was released by journalist Matt Taibbi on Twitter Dec. 16, revealing just how closely the platform worked with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to censor Americans prior to Elon Musk’s purchase of the platform. “Twitter’s contact with the FBI was constant and pervasive, as if it were a subsidiary,” Taibbi tweeted.
As PJ Media’s Chris Queen reported, most FBI emails to the platform “consisted of requests for Twitter to review and take action on” election content that supposedly qualified as “misinformation.” However, the FBI seems distinctly unrepentant about its “master-canine” relationship with Twitter, where it would “pre-flag” content for moderation.
In response to the damning revelations, an FBI spokesperson gave the following exculpatory statement to Fox News Digital:
”The FBI regularly engages with private sector entities to provide information specific to identified foreign malign influence actors’ subversive, undeclared, covert, or criminal activities. Private sector entities independently make decisions about what, if any, action they take on their platforms and for their customers after the FBI has notified them.”
This seems ridiculously insufficient to address the serious, potentially Constitution-violating actions revealed in the Twitter Files. According to Taibbi, Twitter and the FBI planned to have weekly meetings and coordinated to quash accounts whose humorous posts the government disliked. That’s hardly routine procedure.
In fact, Taibbi called the FBI statement “disingenuous on multiple fronts” in a Dec. 17 tweet and noted that “flagging the silly jokes of ordinary Americans with low follower counts” has nothing to do with crime, only with “domestic intelligence and opinion control.”

So 80 FBI agents working with Twitter didn’t do anything about the child porn either?

Well, that would be like exposing your own boss, wouldn’t it?
FBI probably has enough dirt on every politician to black mail them into compliance
Politicians ... and judges. It is frightening how little judges have done to curtail prosecutorial and detention abuses of the 1/6 defendants. I have to believe it because so many know they can be blackmailed.
Feebs probably set up most politicians in dirty situations, to create the dirt. I think that’s what Epstein was all about ... and why he didn’t kill himself.
Constitution-violating actions
A democrat party requirement it appears all have obeyed.
Because they buy into their own bs that we are a democracy and the USC is optional (living document blah blah blah).
and the msm backs them up all the way.
and so...if you go against their wishes.. you are a threat to their pretend democracy.
And some of these loons are willing to die for their pretend democracy.
OR, at least riot, murder and cheat in the name of their pretend democracy.
riot, murder and cheat in the name of their pretend democracy.
Agree no one knows how many things they been involved in.
