Yoel Roth, the then-Twitter Head of Trust and Safety, said he was informed by people in the intelligence community to “expect” attacks on individuals linked to political campaigns. Roth also swore there were rumors “that a hack-and-leak operation would involve Hunter Biden.” These warnings supposedly came right from the FBI. Roth’s testimony would conflict with that of SSA Chan, who said, to his knowledge, nobody provided warnings on the Hunter Biden materials.

Then we have one of the more remarkable pieces of information to be released from the Twitter: confirmation that Twitter was paid nearly $3.5 million for assisting the FBI with its processing requests.

Remarkable. Twitter was essentially contracted by the FBI, to the tune of millions of dollars, to report on users and remove non-criminal content the FBI found objectionable. One can’t help but think the money was effective in getting Twitter, and likely other social media companies, to do what the FBI wanted. After all, who can say no to a paying client with that much leverage?
