Over in #TheMighty200 #MAGA retweet DM rooms, a newly-created account by the name of @realBillBinney (supposedly run by ex-NSA employee and Russian DNC email hack denier Bill Binney) is being promoted.

In just two days, @realBillBinney has gained some interesting followers, including @RT_com, Mike Flynn's attorney @SidneyPowell1, @ProudSocialist, OANN reporter @EmeraldRobinson, and @PartisanGirl. Based on profile hashtags, most of its followers are #MAGA/#QAnon accounts.
Who followed @realBillBinney first? @ETheFriend, a QAnon account created in May 2020 with 56K followers (and one of only 9 accounts @realBIllBinney followed). Also notable is its third follower @JasonSullivan_, creator of the now-defunct Power10 #MAGA retweet automation software.

Interestingly, @realBillBinney is not the only account followed by @ETheFriend that supposedly belongs to Bill Binney. A second account, @Bill_Binney, created August 27 2020, turns up as well.
Both @realBillBinney and @Bill_Binney kicked off their Twitter careers with similar tweets about MSM and "the deep state". It's unclear how numbering tweets sequentially guarantees that @Bill_Binney's tweets are authentic, but perhaps further clarification will be forthcoming.
Much like @realBillBinney, nearly all of @Bill_Binney's followers appear to be #MAGA accounts. @GenFlynn himself followed this one, alongside his attorney @SidneyPowell and OANN journalist @EmeraldRobinson.
Update: both @realBillBinney and its first follower @ETheFriend had the same reaction to this thread, within 5 minutes of each other.
Correction: tag should be @SidneyPowell1.
Additional background: per recent tweets from @JasonSullivan_ and @realBillBinney, both @realBillBinney and @Bill_Binney were allegedly created by Sullivan on Binney's behalf.
