Bad actors at the FBI directing the suppression changes the game, wouldn't you say?

the underlying premise, that the laptop story would have swung the election, is laughable on its face

just another wild goose chase for the idiots

Just a reminder of this story from three or four months ago..........

If you're paying attention, that story goes like this:

Early in 2020, FBI says to all social media companines "hey, we want you to watch out for fake stories leading up to the presidential election since Russia did us dirty in 2016."

Many months later, without any further involvement of the FBI, the laptop story comes out and Twitter, Facebook etc. determine on their own that it may be sketchy so they move to limit it a bit.

The end.

That's what Zuckerberg said, and that's what the materials in the Twitter files say.

You're the only one suggesting the FBI specifically told Facebook or Twitter to limit the laptop story specifically.

The Trump administration sanctioned Derkach shortly before the 2020 election on the grounds that he was “an active Russian agent for over a decade” who had “waged a covert influence campaign centered on cultivating false and unsubstantiated narratives” to influence the presidential election.

Derkach featured prominently in efforts by Rudy Giuliani to spread bogus conspiracy theories that former Vice President Joe Biden pressuring Ukraine to commit to anti-corruption measures was a secret plot to quash a criminal investigation of Burisma, a Ukrainian company where Biden’s son, Hunter, served as a board member.

Giuliani publicly met with Derkach during a 2019 trip to Ukraine, where the then Trump lawyer was soliciting dirt about the Bidens in anticipation of the upcoming presidential election.

Derkach also cozied up to congressional Republicans by sending packages of alleged Biden dirt to Sens. Chuck Grassley, Ron Johnson, and then-Rep. Devin Nunes. U.S. intelligence and fellow lawmakers repeatedly warned lawmakers that Derkach had ties to Russian intelligence and was seeking to undermine the election, making some Republicans skittish about embracing the Ukrainian politician. But Giuliani was undeterred.

your version falls apart when you know that the laptop guy offered or gave the laptop to the FBI first. Also, can you tell us what government agency Peter Stzrok worked for?

Was Strzock the only FBI agent who had partisan political views? How much influence do you think he had on FBI policy as a whole?

Two totally unrelated events, lol. What does the FBI getting the laptop have to do with the FBI telling twitter and facebook to watch out for fake stories? Why didn't Taibbi mention FBI involvement? Why did he specifically say he saw nothing that indicated the FBI was at all involved?

Also, why aren't you crying about Trump and his team contacting Twitter to have information removed? This was confirmed in Taibbi Tweet #10. The sitting President pressuring Twitter has to be as bad as it gets.

A poll found 20% of Biden voters would have switched
NO find the poll yourself!
