Musk cracks open Al Capo.... errrr, Hunter's laptop

It ended up being a real sleeper.

Let me summarize for those who can't stay awake to read 39 boring posts.





1) The Federal Gov't (DoJ, FBI, etc) played ZERO PART in burying the Biden Laptop story at Twitter

2) Twitter Mgmt believed their "Hacked Data" policy justified the action, at the time didn't know veracity.

3) The Biden campaign AND Trump campaign BOTH kept in regular contact with Twitter asking for tweets to be deleted and/or users suspended.

4) Ro Khanna advised Twitter on the political impact of the actions. Very smart guy.

5) Twitter, internally was a very confusing place with a lot of people flying "by the seat of their pants" with no uniformity of policies.

6) Yeah, Twitter leaned left.



That's it.

Nothingburger.

Because his team was on the phone with Twitter in October 2020 to remove tweets.

Funny, I don’t recall that part the Constitution stating you can impeach a president for something he allegedly did before he was president

A serious question, thought: wouldn’t it be wise for Hunter to hire a defamation lawyer? Musk seems to be having too much fun implying he’s all in on the Right’s obsession with the laptop.

President Biden would issue a blanket pardon of Hunter and suck all the oxygen from the entire republican agenda. Just stand up and say enough of this bullshit, it's all been debunked a dozen times and you all know it. Joe would word it better than that, but you get the idea. He wouldn't lose any votes by doing this and any republican who criticizes him for it will be in a glass house throwing stones.

The FBI has never verified it's authenticity...

However the NYT and WaPo and others have independently verified at least parts of the data.

Some things are easy to verify. If you send me an email ... if investigators look on MY email account and see the email from YOU... it's verified.

I won't believe any of it until the FBI speaks.

It's truly disgusting what is happening with Twitter.
