I've got 99 problems with "Russian social media" reports but this tweet misrepresents what Edgett's testimony said which is maybe why said testimony is not linked along with the screenshot. judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…

My previous thread on the same testimony:
That tweet is part of a thread about how the DNC and not Russia delegitimized the democratic process, arguably some things can be said about that too. However (apologies in advance I'm gonna be that person) this ain't it.
The snippet of Edgett's testimony mentions "As described in greater detail below" so here's the greater detail:

48% of #DNCLeak tweets were hidden because they were detected by Twitter's automated systems. "Russian-linked" tweets that were hidden were only 2% of the total.
48% of a hashtag getting caught in the spam filter is a lot! I mean what the fuck. Read it yourself, it's very interesting material: judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…

She's citing a part of his testimony that's cited in Disobedient Media which is linking to the Daily Caller. 🙄
The 2% that originated from Russian-linked accounts was not fully hidden. Only "0.84% were hidden and also originated from accounts that met at least one of the criteria for a Russian-linked account."

Again, my thread questioning what exactly that means:
