Latest Twitter files have exposed the FBI for cracking down on contents and accounts that the agency did not like even if those had not broken Twitter rules.
Recently, influencer Michael Shellenberger released a series of documents showing the disturbing bias at the FBI.
In a report released by the American Tribune, it was revealed that Shellenberger exposed the FBI for not only having “an inordinately high number of employees embedded within Twitter, such as former FBI general counsel James Baker, but was using both those employees, its weight as the FBI, and monetary payments to Twitter to get it to crack down on content and/or accounts that it didn’t like, even if those accounts or posts hadn’t broken the Twitter rules.”
Shellenberger also exposed the intelligence agency, alleging that it reached out to Yoel Roth in a panicked message prior to the Hunter Biden story being dropped.
According to the report, it showed that “The New York Post’s reporting was accurate, it wasn’t a “hacked material,” and the NYP should have been allowed to post it but instead Yoel Roth and Twitter went along with what the FBI wanted and censored an American newspaper.”

However, the FBI & intelligence community allegedly chose to ignore all factual information about Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings before and after The Post wrote an exposé, exposing the disturbing contents of his laptop on October 14, 2020.
“In Twitter Files #6, we saw the FBI relentlessly seek to exercise influence over Twitter, including over its content, its users, and its data. In Twitter Files #7, we present evidence pointing to an organized effort by representatives of the intelligence community (IC), aimed at senior executives at news and social media companies, to discredit leaked information about Hunter Biden before and after it was published.” Shellenberger claimed.
Furthermore, Shellenberger alleged that FBI was also paying Twitter to go along with its demands.
“The FBI’s influence campaign may have been helped by the fact that it was paying Twitter millions of dollars for its staff time. “I am happy to report we have collected $3,415,323 since October 2019!” reports an associate of Jim Baker in early 2021,” he added.
Following the recent exposé, reports found that FBI could be facing legal consequences over the said allegations.
“That’s because of 18 U.S. Code § 241 and 242. Section 241 makes it a crime for “two or more persons [to] conspire to injure, oppress, threaten or intimidate any person … in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States.” The American Tribune reported.
“Section 242 prohibits the creation of any law, regulation, or similar legal rule that “willfully subjects any person … to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States,” it added.
