How Many 'Former' FBI Officials Are Working at Twitter? It's Astonishing

[Red State] I wrote earlier about the incredible closeness of the contact between the FBI and Twitter, with the FBI having regular contact with people at Twitter flagging tweets for their attention. Not criminal tweets mind you, or anything with which you would think that the FBI should be concerned. But things including jokes about when election day was as part of dealing with "election misinformation." So instead of going after BLM/Antifa organized rioters or child predators, they’re spending time flagging jokes on our dime.

In addition to the 80-person team of social media-oriented FBI agents, regular contacts to flag tweets, and weekly meetings between the FBI and other executive agencies, it turns out that there were still more deep connections between the FBI and Twitter.

We know about former FBI general counsel James Baker who went on from the FBI to join Twitter as its deputy general counsel in June 2020. Elon Musk fired him after he allegedly vetted the Twitter files without the permission of the upper management.

But it turns out there were many more people. More than a dozen former FBI officials went on to hold critical positions impacting important decisions at Twitter, including being "close to company leadership directly involved in censoring The Post’s Hunter Biden coverage in October 2020."

Matthew Williams was a senior supervisory intelligence analyst who was in the FBI for 15 years. He was also a Democratic donor. He joined Twitter the same month as Baker. He served as "senior director of product trust, revenue policy, counsel systems & analytics at Twitter." He noted this made him "co-lead of Trust & Safety." That would mean that he was making decisions along with Yoel Roth, the former head of Trust and Safety, so that was a very weighty position.

#1 Pretty obvious what was going on here. Also pretty obvious it was going on elsewhere. How could one assume otherwise? An "all of the above" approach was surely in play. Unfortunately, not a fok'g thing will likel be done about it.

Do I need to post a Dominion voting machine or Ray Epps graphic with that ?

#3 The arrogance and disregard for the common man (anyone not in the club) is palpable and disgusting.

It's like Volksmarching and picking up the scent of a dead animal. You know almost instinctively, what you have come across.

#6 /\ Exactly so. The domestication of the deadly Boomslang (tree snake) also remains beyond reach.

#7 In a just world, the FEC would fine the FBI for in kind campaign contributions.
