"Nice company y'got here. Be a shame if something happened to it."
[NYPOST] The FBI said Wednesday that revelations agents pressured Twitter to muzzle its own users for so-called "misinformation" and "foreign influence" and falsely warned of a "hack-and-leak" operation involving first son Hunter Biden were just business as usual.
"The correspondence between the FBI and Twitter show nothing more than examples of our traditional, longstanding and ongoing federal government and private sector engagements, which involve numerous companies over multiple sectors and industries," the FBI told The Post in a statement in response to the latest jaw-dropping revelations from the "Twitter Files."
"As evidenced in the correspondence," the bureau went on, "the FBI provides critical information to the private sector in an effort to allow them to protect themselves and their customers.
"The men and women of the FBI work every day to protect the American public," the statement concluded. "It is unfortunate that conspiracy theorists and others are feeding the American public misinformation with the sole purpose of attempting to discredit the agency."
