“Hasan invited Taibbi onto his show after his March 9 testimony before the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government — of which Plaskett is the ranking member — about his reporting on Twitter’s collusion with the federal government to silence dissent online.”
““Under the federal perjury statute … providing false information is punishable by up to five years imprisonment,” she added, none too subtly.”
.
Apparently the federal government will not “silence dissent online,” they will simply do it themselves from DC.

Said Plaskett is a representative from... The Virgin Islands.. a US territory. NOT a State.
Therefore she has NO... NO vote in Congress whatsoever as regards legislation and only minimally in her “fronting” fake a@@ big mouth in this “ranking member” of a committee.
She has NO legal powers within Congress. Only advisory. This is a complete sham.
Her job is to raise her nasty a@@ voice in “disgust and dismay...” but can do NOTHING about it beyond that. Get the cameras to pan at her. That’s it.
