We were never supposed to see these emails but now they are being made public and the drones in DC are in a panic.
No, it wasn’t the Republicans taking the House that made these emails available…it was Elon Musk.
On December 20, 2022, Rep. Adam Schiff wrote to Elon Musk, “I don’t support censorship. Or hate speech. As the (outgoing) CEO of Twitter, how about you? Why not do more to stop slurs against Black people, LGBTQ+ people, Jewish people, and others? Do you commit to providing the public with actual answers and data, not just tweets?”
“As (outgoing) Chair of House Intelligence, did you approve hidden state censorship in direct violation of the Constitution of the United States @RepAdamSchiff?” Elon replied.
I don’t support censorship. Or hate speech.

Schiff didn’t know it at the time, but he walked into a trap.
Independent journalist Matt Taibbi released another batch of Twitter files showing just how in bed the social media company was with the federal government. Part of the released files included an email from Rep. Adam Schiff’s office demanding a journalist’s social media account be censored.

Schiff has been awfully quiet since the new batch of files was released.
Part of the new batch of files even shows how the Biden administration has tried to censor those against the war in Ukraine.
