Twitter files bombshell was more like a wet firework

Taibbi interviewed several anonymous ex-Twitter employees on the decision, all of whom expressed shock and outrage at the company’s actions: “Everyone knew this was f–ked,” he quotes one source. But since Taibbi doesn’t quote that expletive from the leaked emails, we can reason they included few or no quotes as sensational for his purpose. Ergo, we can deduce that those executives said little to support claims of nefarious purposes

Taibbi rescinded the assertion: “There’s no evidence—that I’ve seen—of any government involvement in the laptop story.”

Many observers, even among the crowd of Musk’s usual supporters, thought the drop was a flop

Emails and files found on the laptop revealed how Hunter had peddled influence with Ukranian businessmen, the Post claimed –and also included “a raunchy, 12-minute video” showing Hunter smoking crack and having sex.

After the Post story was published, Twitter barred anyone from tweeting a link to it or sending it via direct message, labeling it “hacked material.” The company also suspended the Post’s account for multiple days, preventing it from tweeting further.

@ecksmc would they away voters? Probably. Should they? Who gives a fuck about the president's son's misbehavings? Trump and his entire family is a crime ring and they are trying the whataboutism with crackhead son. Trump's family try to overthrow the regime for personal gain to this date. They want Hunter? Who gives a fuck send him to jail if there is crime.
