Jonathan Turley and Michael Shellenberger Sweep the Leg out From Under FBI Response to Twitter Files
By Nick Arama | 5:15 PM on December 22, 2022

The response by the FBI to the damning information in the Twitter files has been less than satisfactory.

Their first response suggested that the contacts with the social media platform were all just completely normal contacts, that they weren’t asking Twitter to take any action against the Americans who were then subsequently censored.

Quote
The FBI regularly engages with private sector entities to provide information specific to identified foreign malign influence actors’ subversive, undeclared, covert, or criminal activities. Private sector entities independently make decisions about what, if any, action they take on their platforms and for their customers after the FBI has notified them.”

They claimed they weren’t asking social media or any of the private sector entities they were contacting to “take action” against anyone.

Quote
“We are providing it so that they can take whatever action they deem appropriate under their terms of service to protect their platform and protect their customers, but we never direct or ask them to take action,” the FBI officials said.

Shellenberger also appeared to cite remarks of Rep. James Comer (R-KY) — the likely incoming head of the House Oversight Committee — who suggested the way to hold the FBI accountable would be to hold up their money.

Want to bet the next year of Agency CYA (not just FBI) is fully funded in the latest spendapalooza Bill? The question is one of how many defectors needed in the Senate did so because the FBI (or some other agency) threatened them with career altering (or ending) dirt? (You know they have it).

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
