Ex-Twitter executive admits ‘mistake’ in censoring Post’s Hunter Biden scoop
NY Post ^ | February 8, 2023 | Steven Nelson

Vijaya Gadde, who received a $12.5 million severance package when she was fired as policy director in October by new Twitter CEO Elon Musk, testified before the House Oversight Committee that The Post’s reporting was censored in large part because photos from Hunter’s laptop “looked like they may have been obtained through hacking.”

Gadde also admitted that Hunter Biden never claimed to the company that the laptop was hacked — as opposed to legally provided to The Post.

The committee’s Republican majority said it planned to press hard for evidence of “collusion” between the FBI and Twitter to censor The Post.

Twitter attorney James Baker insisted that there was no “unlawful collusion” between the social network and US officials to censor The Post.

Baker, who was FBI general counsel before joining Twitter in June 2020, told the panel “I was not aware of and certainly did not engage in any conspiracy or other effort to do anything unethical, improper or unlawful while I was at Twitter.”

The FBI paid Twitter $3.5 million from October 2019 to February 2021 to process its moderation requests, according to a document released by Musk.

This is standard Democrat playbook SOP.

Give back the illegal or tainted campaign donations after the election was won, after it served its purpose. Nobody gives back the seat, just the money used to win the seat.

Apologize for the false news reporting after their issue succeeded or proposition was voted on. Nobody ever goes out of business for lack of credibility, they just do it again next time and then apologize again. (Nick Sandmann was a rare win for the right)

Cover up a major Democrat scandal to get the President elected, give awards to each other to sustain the idea that the reports were credible, and then apologize two years later when the truth finally breaks through the cover-up.

"It worked, didn't it?"
