So when email whistleblowing provides tangible proof of corruption and malfeasance between Burisma, Joe, and Hunter, FB and Twitter all of a sudden don't like whistleblowing and censor it. As well, they sure had no problem with the dirty dossier lies being peddled on FB and Twitter - plus Russian Collusion nonsense, etc - all a result of Hillary seeking foreign help to have it compiled for her.
