Last year, the Federal Election Commission dismissed a legal complaint filed against Twitter and those running it. The company and it’s executives allegedly violated federal law. The FEC is the agency responsible for enforcing the act that governs the raising and spending of money in federal campaigns. Like the Biden campaign. Documents and records of internal communications being released by the platform’s new owners suggest the FEC was tricked and the probe needs to be re-opened. The effect on the 2020 outcome might hang in the balance.
Re-open the election probe
The probe was against Twitter but Joe Biden’s behind is the one who’s the Federal Election Commission will be crawling up. The reason it matters so much is because it seems “that dismissal was based on false information provided by Twitter.”
As Fox News is reporting, “given the recent public disclosures of internal as well as external Twitter communications with campaign and party organizations, the FEC should reopen that investigation.”
Three separate complaints were combined into one and the Federal Election Commission investigated Twitter, Jack Dorsey, Brandon Borrman all at the same time, along with the Biden for President Campaign. Borrman was Twitter’s “former vice president for global communications.”

As part of the case, the FEC’s lawyer prepared a “factual and legal analysis report.” The big question was whether Twitter made a “prohibited corporate in-kind contribution” to the Biden campaign. The most recent Twitter Files release declares that the platform was virtually a “subsidiary” of the FBI, all for the protection of Biden interests.
Under federal election law, corporations are banned from donating “anything of value” to any federal candidate. An example would be “if a corporation allowed a campaign free use of rental property it owned, that would be an illegal, in-kind corporate contribution.”
The latest revelations suggest that the complaints had some basis after all. They alleged that “Twitter made an in-kind contribution when it blocked users from tweeting links to or certain information derived from” New York Post articles about the Hunter Biden laptop. Twitter made a clear and concerted effort to censor any mention of the story. That is clearly a violation of constitutional rights. It’s probably also a big violation of election law.
The mainstream media can’t risk covering #TwitterFiles. If they admit rampant collusion between govt agencies and Twitter, they’ll have to inquire about Facebook, YouTube, Apple, Google. The whole censorship regime would unravel. Better to pretend nothing’s happening! @elonmusk

Shadow banning conservatives
Twitter has been busted cold for limiting “the visibility of, or ‘shadow banning,’ Republican users” as well as “suppressing distribution of an interview of an alleged former business associate of Hunter Biden.”
That would be Tony Bobulinski. He was a partner of the Biden family until he got screwed like one of Hunter’s prostitutes. Right before the big election, he turned himself in to the FBI. They covered him up.
Bobulinski confirmed the emails the FBI had been hiding in Hunter’s laptop were all accurate. He also “claimed that he had been defrauded by Biden and that the Biden family was involved in an influence-peddling operation.”
…According to some reports, as many as 80 FBI agents may have been tasked to assist in the censorship efforts. Yet, the FBI has offered little more than a shrug in the face of credible constitutional concerns.

Those are the sorts of accusations which can sway an election. If people know about them before they actually vote. They didn’t, thanks to Twitter. That was a really nice “contribution” most people say.
We now know that the allegations, dismissed by the election commission, were true. Twitter did illegally coordinate “its actions with the Biden campaign.” That right there proves the Biden campaign had “knowingly accepted the prohibited corporate contributions.”
The probe needs to be opened back up. The whole decision to close the file was “based on Twitter telling the FEC that Twitter had not made an illegal corporate contribution since it had ‘bona fide commercial reasons‘ for its actions and they were ‘not made for the purpose of influencing a federal election.‘“
