1) At the time of the laptop, Mr. Trump was president. His AG was the toadiest of all of Mr. Trump’s toadies, William Barr. The Director of the FBI was Christopher Wray whose predecessor was not only fired by Mr. Trump, they went after his pension. You’re asking us to believe that under those circumstances the FBI is going to ask that Social Media companies to suppress a story that their bosses surely knew would benefit Mr. Trump’s re-election bid?
2) The FBI has no mechanism to enforce an order to squash a story. Twitter could tell them to go to he11, and the FBI could do nothing about it.
3) Jack Dorsey has stated that at no time did the government pressure Twitter to squash a story.
4) The story was never censored. I read about it in the Washington Post and the NY Times. The real problem was (and still is) that the story is fishy that most people don’t know what make of it.
Like the Hunter Biden Laptop, the “FBI had Twitter Censor the Hunter Biden Laptop Story” is nothing more than vague accusations based on vaporware.
If the FBI had the laptop in their possession for 9-10 months before the story broke in the NY Post, why would they then tell Twitter (among others) that there is no laptop and it was just “Russian disinformation”? Yes, my timeline is 100% correct.
So can someone give me a list of the stories that the government deemed disinformation that were disapeared and never reported on? Perhaps the same person can point me to the smoking gun where the government threatened to close a business for reporting anything?
We need an Amendment to the constitution, any public or private company that works for the federal, state or local government can be sued for civil rights violations just like the government. Sad we need to go so far on something so obvious.
Our top federal police agency pressured our top media outlet to censor the Administration’s political opponents. What’s hard to understand or condemn about that? Talk about threat to democracy.
Of course, you have no proof; but that never stopped you before. Merry Christmas, Mike. Maybe Santa will bring you common sense for the next year. Stop watching FoxNews.
You know what’s really funny about this? Just last week Mr. Lester said “Musk can ban anybody he wants. It’s his house party now.” in reference to who Mr. Musk could ban someone. But if Mr. Dorsey did that in the past, he’s an FBI stooge.

C’mon Mike, even the right wing radio guys are calling the twitter dumps a nothingburger.

Good one here. The FBI was calling the shots - even paying Twitter for stifling political opponents. That’s Stasi stuff.

Here is why this whole issue is a stupid lie.

Is Lester like T. Carlson in that ‘no one should believe what he says?’

Good commentary, Mike. Horrible things were done by our intelligence community and still democrat sycophants can’t handle the truth!

^^The clown thinks it’s obvious we need to censor private businesses. I guess the next step would be to censor individuals.

Threatening to kill someone or inciting someone else to do it for you is hate speech and cowardly. Like this cartoon.

Also, I’ve gotta ask, what is this “Constitutionally protected speech” you think has been censored or suppressed?

Funny how that works, right?
