    “But so far, none of the released messages explicitly show the FBI telling Twitter to suppress the story. In fact, the opposite view emerges from sworn testimony by an FBI agent at the center of the controversy. And in interviews with CNN, half a dozen tech executives and senior staff, along with multiple federal officials familiar with the matter, all deny any such directive was given.”

    Let that sink in. With all of these huge data dumps, there isn’t a single message where the FBI instructed Twitter to suppress the story.

    The “Twitter files” is a sham.

    Everyone in prison "denies" they did any wrongdoing.

    Good, so we won't see you arguing against folks telling you Trump is guilty of various things?

    It makes perfect sense in relation to your comment. One of the common retorts on threads concerning Trump's corruption is to ask what he's been convicted of. And obvious he has denied any wrongdoing, but everyone knows he's guilty. Since that works in this case for you, it should also work in those cases with Trump. So my question is ultimately, do you apply this logic across the board or is it only when the wrongdoer is a political opponent?

    It makes zero sense in relation to my comment. And no one knows he is guilty as there is zero evidence.

    Well there you go. Either you apply the idea that knowing he's guilty is all you need like you did here, or you apply the evidentiary standard. Can't do both.

    But you're also wrong about there being no evidence. The evidence is obvious in some cases, it's just that the denial is stronger for some people.

    No I’m absolutely correct, there is zero evidence. All the left has is circumstance. That’s nothing.

    And no, it doesn’t apply to this instance at all, as there is actual evidence this happened.

    So why is CNN not all over this story? The only thing I keep seeing on CNN is Trump Trump Trump and January 6 committee didn't seem to come up with the smoking gun they promised 2 years ago. Even Trump's Twitter messages contains nothing about ordering the riot. Yet his right to free speech was denied when he was removed from Twitter by over zealous executives.

    Trump violated the TOS for Twitter. Do you call your Senator when a mod here deletes one of your posts claiming your right to free speech was denied? If not, why?

    Maybe the Twitter dump proves that Twitter was solely behind the non reporting of the Hunter laptop? Well, one would have to include MSM in its neglect of the Hunter laptop.

    BTW, one party who was responsible for calling the Hunter laptop Russian disinformation was the FBI...So, to be clear, the FBI didn't demand the Hunter laptop not be reported. The FBI just declared the Hunter laptop Russian disinformation. I don't suppose the FBI, for example, browbeated Twitter, for example, into not reporting the Hunter laptop story?:roll:

    Where's the dump of info when FBI agents worked directly with Twitter agents who were at FBI headquarters?

    That's not what you stated. You stated she had them all released. Not true.

    This is what I posted:
    I didn't post that Harris had BLM protestors released. I posted that Harris helped raise bail monies to get arrested BLM protestors released.

    The FBI didn’t declare the story to be disinformation. They said it had all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation, and that is absolutely 100% true, and they didn’t know any differently at the time.

    But at least you acknowledge they didn’t order or direct Twitter to bury the story.

    Most didn’t, and they were supported by democrats who refused to condemn in the worst of cases, and only reluctantly condemned them after weeks of being promoted only to immediately deflect and run defense for them straight afterwards lol.

    BLM are a genuine terrorist organization that has far too much support among the left who claim to be against violence .

    The FBI did invite many Twitter employees to FBI headquarters for further guidance of how to handle this laptop. Where's the dump of communications between the FBI and certain Twitter employees at FBI headquarters? For that matter, why did the FBI ask certain Twitter employees to FBI headquarters?

    Too bad for Harris and your whataboutisms that she couldn't get the violent dipshits in BLM who set fires and committed violent crimes released, huh?

    His right to free speech was never denied. He could still keep saying anything he wanted, and lots of media routes to get his message out to his true believers.
    A few companies decided they were no longer going to participate in helping him spread dangerous and anti-American lies. Big deal. Stop clutching your pearls.

    I hate to burst your red bubble, but the violent criminals who set fires and committed violent crimes were arrested and sentenced to prison.
