THREAD: Huge development. FBI TOLD Twitter the Hunter Biden laptop was real shortly after story broke. LATER FBI refused to answer when Facebook asked same question. Implications are HUGE. 1/
2/ First, it means FBI members of the Foreign Influence Task Force knew about the laptop and that it was real. I had NO idea that was the case, just the FBI as an entity. That makes FBI hinting of Russia disinformation hack and release worse.
3/ Second, it means Twitter knew the laptop was real but censored it anyway and even froze the New York Post account. So why did James Baker say to err on side of caution? Did someone from FBI get ahold of Baker?
4/ So who was the FBI agent who said it was real? Who all was present when that statement was made? Who at Twitter was present and with whom did they share that info? How was there NOTHING in Twitter files that referenced FBI saying it was real?
5/5 This new info is most significant revelation in entire censorship of Hunter Biden story scandal.
OMfrickin' gosh: You HAVE to be kidding me! They opened an investigation based on the alternative electors that election lawyers concluded was the appropriate course based on the precise same situation involving Kennedy and Hawaii!!! 1/
2/ Here is a summary of the need for alternative electors and how to pretend this was a potential crime of fraud is NUTSO: thefederalist.com/2023/05/15/the…
3/ The memo itself makes clear it wasn't fraud! This investigation was for 3 purposes only: To destroy Trump; to destroy anyone connected with Trump; and to dissuade anyone in the future from connecting with Trump or any non-establishment politician.
3/ Here's full panel.
It was 3-0 for the decision. And I was correct when I had earlier said I thought the motions panel had Rovner and St. Eve. Hamilton is as hard left as you can get.
3/ Judge asks what document is President invoking statute?
DOJ: Says don't need any document, but says many documents that show all the reasons for activation in Portland.
