Response to @FBI's statement on #TwitterFiles:
1. "the FBI provides critical information to the private sector in an effort to allow them to protect themselves and their customers."

Answer: The FBI lied to Twitter about a potential "hack and dump" by a foreign government 👇

(Russia) involving Hunter Biden in September 2020 after the FBI had determined the surrendered laptop was, indeed, Hunter Biden's and after the FBI became aware through cyber-espionage that the New York Post was in possession of the laptop's contents. That is not 👇

providing "critical information," as the FBI claims, but lying--propaganda and "pre-suasion".

2. "The men and women of the FBI work every day to protect the American public."

Answer: For at least the last six years, the men and women of the FBI work every day to entrap 👇

the American public in schemes concocted by and funded by the FBI for partisan, political reasons. Earlier this year, a jury acquitted two men accused of a plot to kidnap the governor of Michigan on grounds entrapment by the FBI. 👇

3. "It is unfortunate that conspiracy theorists and others are feeding the American public misinformation with the sole purpose of attempting to discredit the agency."

Answer: The FBI uses here a term coined by the CIA following President Kennedy's assassination to 👇

discredit anyone who questions the official government narrative, thereby demonstrating its contempt for journalism and intellectual inquiry. The FBI goes on impugn motives without evidence of the journalists' state of mind. This entire sentence demonstrates contempt for 👇

the American people and the concept of popular rule. Further, it demonstrates that the @FBI has, by its own criminal behavior, damaged its reputation far beyond a journalist's ability to add or detract.

The FBI's history of illegal surveillance, false arrest, entrapment, 👇

evidence tampering, witness intimidation, destruction of evidence, false statements, and false-flag operations indicate the organization deserves its wretched reputation and has earned its legislative abolition.

By confirming the content of the #TwitterFiles, the FBI
👇

tacitly admits that it used naive Twitter employees to circumvent the First Amendment's protections of free speech and the press, like a drug dealer who hires juveniles to sell drugs because they cannot be tried as adults. 👇

The FBI's Reputation

The FBI decries the #TwitterFiles as an insult to its reputation. What reputation? What was the FBI's reputation among civil rights leaders in the 60s and 70s? What was its reputation among the peace movement in the 70s? What was its reputation with 👇

the FISA court after it learned the FBI presented false evidence as a basis for spying on Trump's campaign?

The FBI never had a reputation worth defending.

I call on the next Congress to defund the FBI immediately and to advance legislation to #AbolishTheFBI and prohibit 👇

the Department of Justice from conducting investigations or operations except through the voluntary cooperation of state law enforcement agencies.
