Congress is set to expose what may be the largest censorship system in U.S. history
by Jonathan Turley, opinion contributor - 02/04/23 10:30 AM ET


This coming week a new House select subcommittee will hold its first hearing on the FBI and the possible “weaponization” of government agencies. A variety of such controversies have contributed to plunging public trust in government and the FBI in particular.

The role of the FBI in prior scandals will remain a point of heated debate in Congress. However, members of both parties should be able to agree on the need to investigate one of the most serious allegations: Censorship by surrogate.

Many of the allegations of FBI bias are worthy of investigation. Some of those allegations are problems of personnel who can be removed. But a far more menacing problem has emerged in recent months with the release of information from Twitter.

The “Twitter files” revealed an FBI operation to monitor and censor social media content — an effort so overwhelming and intrusive that Twitter staff at one point complained internally that “they are probing & pushing everywhere.” The reports have indicated that dozens of FBI employees worked on the identification and removal of material on a wide range of subjects and that Twitter largely carried out their requests.

Nor was it just the FBI, apparently. Emails reveal FBI figures like a San Francisco assistant special agent in charge asking Twitter executives to “invite an OGA” (or “Other Government Organization”) to an upcoming meeting. A week later, Stacia Cardille, a senior Twitter legal executive, indicated the OGA was the CIA, an agency under strict limits regarding domestic activities.

Twitter’s own ranks included dozens of ex-FBI agents and executives, including James Baker, who featured greatly in prior FBI instances of alleged bias.

FIREWORKS! GOP Congressman Warns Twitter Execs They May be Arrested For Interfering in 2020 Presidential Election (VIDEO)

The House Oversight Committee on Wednesday held a full committee hearing on government suppression of speech in regard to the Hunter Biden laptop report.

Here is the witness list:

Vijaya Gadde Former Chief Legal Officer Twitter

James Baker Former Deputy General Counsel Twitter

Yoel Roth Former Global Head of Trust & Safety Twitter

Annika Collier Navaroli

Congressman Clay Higgins warned the Twitter execs that they may be arrested for interfering with the 2020 presidential election.

“The bottom line is that the FBI had the Biden Crime Family laptop for a year. They knew it was leaking. They knew it would hurt the Biden family. So the FBI used its relationship with Twitter to suppress criminal evidence from being revealed about Joe Biden one month before the 2020 election,” Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) said.

“You, ladies and gentlemen interfered with the United States of America 2020 presidential election! Knowingly and willingly!” he said.

“That’s the bad news! It’s gonna get worse! Because this is the investigation part! Later comes the arrest part, your attorneys are familiar with that.. I’d like to spend five hours with these ladies and gentlemen doing depositions surely yet to come,” the Congressman said.

Wouldn't that be nice.  Unfortunately, it'll never happen.
