Further evidence in the so-called ‘Twitter Files’ have emerged and this time they tackle the FBI. In the latest installment of revelations, it has emerged (allegedly) that FBI officials gave more than $3.5m of taxpayer funds to the social media company to perform its dirty deeds over the course of several years. Those dealings include ‘silencing’ dissent; conservative voices, satire accounts, and other social media targets before and after the 2020 election. This is not an indication that the FBI used the social media company to influence the election directly.
The latest scandal to come out of the files involves Twitter ‘s ex-counsel which met with a top secret FBI gent the day before the infamous Hunter Biden laptop story was banned on the site. It is unclear exactly what that meeting was about as it remains classified. Alleged e-mails from the situation, however, show that federal officials are understood to have turned over $3.5m of taxpayer funds to the company to continually perform actions for them and keep it under wraps.
In a previous dump, journalist Matt Taibbi tweeted: ‘Twitter’s contact with the FBI was constant and pervasive, as if it were a subsidiary.’
In response to the shocking developments, House Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy said in an appearance on Mornings with Maria on Fox News: ‘We’re going to do more than just subpoena them. We’re going to change the course of where the FBI is today.’
