8. By 2020, requests from connected actors to delete tweets were routine. One executive would write to another: “More to review from the Biden team.” The reply would come back: “Handled.” pic.twitter.com/mnv0YZI4af

19. White House spokeswoman Kaleigh McEnany was locked out of her account for tweeting about the story, prompting a furious letter from Trump campaign staffer Mike Hahn, who seethed: “At least pretend to care for the next 20 days.” pic.twitter.com/CcXTfsdzCT

who would tell it? Certainly not all the media that Colluded to suppress the story..nein51 said:
Kind of can't believe this isn't a bigger story. It should be.
The Democratic Party was so concerned about misinformation and election interference that the leaders lobbied the media to lie to American citizens to ensure their candidate became president.

Here is Elon's entire first drop showing how Twitter memory-holed the true story of Hunter Biden's laptop from hell https://t.co/uofRq83Jqr

Thank you for your opinion, Nina.HuMcK said:
It's kind of morbidly hilarious to see the enduring focus on Hunter's supposed laptop. Frankly, it shows how weak of a hand Republicans are forced to play when it comes to attacking Biden's ethics (a position weakend by their own support for the most corrupt POTUS in living memory), but I digress.
If the people insisting it's legit could actually prove the laptop's provenance then that would be one thing, but they flat out refused to share what they had with actual journalistic outfits during the election (they were explicitly told that's why the story got treated the way it did), and as time has gone on it's become very clear they they did that because it's shady af. Even NYPost itself originally published the story without any names on the byline because it was so obviously shady, and their reporters all balked at claiming "credit", which should be a huge tell to any objective observer.
Essentially what we have here are butthurt Republicans whining that one social media platform actually learned a lesson from 2016, and wouldn't let them use foreign (Russian) espionage to help Trump's campaign...again. Ironically, those same whiny titty babies also had nothing to say when we learned that people like Hannity, Tucker, and Bartiromo had direct lines to POTUS' chief of staff, which they used to literally workshop talking points and ask what they should focus on (going far beyond anything the Biden team ever did with Twitter).
And of course now Trump is demanding that he should be "installed" as President due to these "revelations", while Putin smiles at the huge ROI he got from just a few of his hack-and-leak operations because Trumpers are credulous dupes.
So, just to recap:HuMcK said:

. @elonmusk I hope you are surrounded by massive security and in an extremely safe undisclosed location - you just became public enemy number one to some very very bad people, I pray for your safety and thank you for your bravery! We need more @elonmusk in our society!!!

Why would Trump not be a part of this conversation about one of his chief grievances? I get that some of y'all are embarrassed to have supported the guy (the smart ones anyway), but like it or not this story is about him too.
I've long said that I believe the information released from the "laptop" (or a hacked iCloud account, where every scrap released so far has come from) is real, but I also think the story they concocted about where it came from is horse****. Giuliani was stupid enough to literally have himself photographed with a man Trump's admin sanctioned for being a Russian spy, while in Ukraine seeking the exact kind of "dirt" on Hunter that just so happened to then miraculously appear in the hands of a blind man who can plausibly claim to not have seen who gave it to him.
I'm sorry, but if you believe that story and have no questions about it, then you should return your Baylor degree for being a dunce. The question then becomes: does Twitter have an obligation to publish something that may be stolen, may legitimately be fruit of a foreign aspionage action (again), and the suppliers of it can't/won't prove provenance? They decided no, after an internal debate. Given the context of what happened in 2016 and and what Giuliani was doing in Ukraine late 2019-early 2020, it makes sense.

we always knew the govt was telling twitter’s troglodyte commissars what to censor, but there’s a big difference between knowing something and having documentation to prove it

“We’re tracking Vijaya Gadde’s role in the suppression of the New York Post story on Hunter Biden’s laptop. We absolutely plan to investigate this more. Stay tuned”
Yoel Roth made an entire career out of intellectualizing his homosexual fetishes - even writing his PhD dissertation on his random GRINDr encounters. He then got put in charge of censoring "hate speech" on twitter. A path to power and a reality most GOP voters aren't aware of. pic.twitter.com/EmhuNCHxtP

Another buried lede in Musk/Twitter disclosures are all those emails about how “Congress was ready to act” and “this was the last straw” and then nothing remotely happened

Jan 6th was false flag to get the attention off the real insurrection and election fraud committed by the DNC, Biden admin and the intel agencies.
Unreal! Katie Hobbs’s office contacts Twitter to have posts removed! So, the democrat candidate, who ran the AZ election, censored her political opponents, disrupted Election Day votes, and then threatened counties with prosecution if they didn’t declare her the winner. pic.twitter.com/TWIgHHPqkd
