RedState:As anyone who’s paying attention in the country knows, Twitter executives quashed the bombshell October 14, 2020 story from the New York Post revealing extremely damaging emails regarding the Biden family’s relationship with Ukraine/Burisma officials that were retrieved from a laptop that Hunter Biden abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop. With less than a month before the presidential election, the information was critical for voters to have since Biden routinely claimed he had nothing to do with Hunter’s business dealings. Following Twitter’s lead in deeming the materials “hacked,” mainstream media outlets also downplayed or quashed the story, and were given a massive assist days later when more than 50 former senior intelligence officers wrote a letter calling the story “Russian disinformation.”
Late Friday afternoon, information about how this all happened was posted on Twitter through journalist Matt Taibbi. The Twitter thread shows that almost immediately the “safety and trust” team deemed the story violated the “hacked materials” policy, and placed a warning over the link and deboosted it. Eventually many, many people were booted from Twitter for merely tweeting about it, and users were unable to post a link to the story.
One interesting bit of information that’s been revealed is that on that very first day Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna, who represents the Silicon Valley area, contacted Twitter’s former head of legal, policy and trust, Vijaya Gadde, to express his concerns about “speech.” In response, as Taibbi writes, Gadde dove “into the weeds of Twitter policy, unaware Khanna was more worried about the Bill of Rights.” MORE
Did I just witness a pig fly?!?!
Any word from the FBI or DOJ on a gimmick to stop Musk??? Kinda quiet must be complicated.
If there will be no Justice, there will be no peace.
Will we have to have our own holocaust in order to get the American people to act? Oh wait, they already killed millions with the flu hoax and crickets.

You do know that all the really smart talking heads said he had no chance in 2016?
Regardless this is bigger than Trump.
Why are you rooting for communism?
“I say this as a total Biden Partisan and convinced he didn’t do anything wrong.” Ro’s words.
“HE” is used in reference to Biden.
Ro fears censorship is drawing more attention to a story that would otherwise be passed over just like when Biden threatened to remove US Aid from the Ukraine unless that unfriendly prosecutor was fired when he was VP.
It Reads exactly like it is written.
Ro Khanna is just another Blind Imbecile or so Corrupt he will not see problem. In my opinion BOTH.
He was concerned about free speech which was honourable but he was not concerned about the actual implications if the story was true
