The former chairman of the Federal Election Commission Sean Cooksey pointed out something incredibly important in his response to Matt Taibbi’s explosive revelations about the collusion between Democrats and Big Tech in censoring the Hunter Biden story.
The FEC received and responded to a filed complaint alleging that Twitter was directly communicating with the Biden campaign. And Twitter, in response, lied about it.
We know for a fact now that not only did the Biden campaign communicate with them directly about the story, but so did sitting Democrat members of congress.
But they lied. The fact that Cooksey does not believe it was an FEC violation doesn’t really matter to whether or not Twitter lied about that contact when the FEC contacted them.
Here's what Twitter told the @FEC in its response to a complaint about this event: "Twitter did not receive a request from the Biden campaign to review (much less restrict) the N.Y. Post articles. …" https://t.co/8Q08wkdcaQ

"Nor did decision-makers at Twitter, or to the best of the company’s knowledge, anyone authorized to act on Twitter’s behalf even communicate with the Biden campaign regarding Twitter’s decision to enforce its content moderation policies with respect to the N.Y. Post articles."

When the @FEC dismissed the complaint, I did not sign onto the Commission's theory that Twitter acted only for commercial reasons. I wasn't convinced, but I still didn't think it was a campaign-finance violation, as I explained at the time: https://t.co/ZL2Ay3gfv7

They specifically sent tweets to Twitter asking for their removal, some of which contained materials from the NOT hacked laptop that is confirmed to be Hunter Biden’s, along with links to discussions or stories about those materials.
THEY. LIED.
