โ—๏ธTwitter Files 14: Russiagate LIES - "One of Greatest Outbreaks of Mass Delusion in ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ History"

From the Trump-Russia investigation, to troll farms, bots and what actually turned out to be a mass media lie... ๐Ÿ‘‡
... Investigative journalist Matt Taibbi has released his analysis from the latest file drop by Elon Musk. Here are the key findings:

๐Ÿ“Twitter officials were shocked they found NO evidence of Russian influence
๐Ÿ“Congressional trolls, including Dianne Feinstein, Adam Schiff and Richard Blumenthal, pushed the idea of ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ bots being behind #Releasethememo - despite warnings it was false
๐Ÿ“Republican Devin Nunes' report - which included calling out the Steele Dossier - was ignored by media and called a "joke". What Nunes detailed was later verified by the DoJ
๐Ÿ“Evidence based on ONE source with no proof - Hamilton 68 dashboard, which was created by a former FBI counterintelligence official. Twitter called it a "comms play"
๐Ÿ“Twitter compared situation to the book, "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" (It wants milk and then repeats) - eventually the platform all but stopped challenging the disinformation
๐Ÿ“NBC, Politico, AP, Times, Business Insider, Rolling Stone all hammered the Russian bots theory - they have now refused to comment (along with the Democrats named above)
๐Ÿ“ Nunes: "Schiff and the Dems falsely claimed Russians were behind the Release the Memo hashtag [...] By spreading the Russian collusion hoax, they instigated one of the greatest outbreaks of mass delusion in US history"
