"New York Post: Twitter Is ‘Riddled’ with Ex-FBI Employees".
The New York Post reports that many of Twitter’s top executive roles were staffed with ex-FBI agents, connecting the company even closer to the federal agency which is being criticized for allegedly leaning on Twitter before the 2020 elections.
Over a dozen former federal officials reportedly joined the company in the years before Elon Musk purchased the website in October. An investigation by the Post found that while James Baker, the FBI’s former general counsel who worked in the same capacity at Twitter, has made headlines after being fired by Musk, the FBI’s influence spread much further than just Twitter’s legal department.
I think the country would be much better off if there were a whole lot more ex-FBI agents. Mall security and warehouse night watchman sound like promising alternative careers.
Is the professional NeverTrump Corps still adamant in upholding the doctrine of "muh private companies"? I'd say that outfits like Twitter (pre-Musk) had attained something like parastatal status in recent years, becoming part of the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party and its subsidiary, the permanent bureaucracy - just as the FBI has ceased to be a non-partisan agency of the federal government and has become the Democratic Party's Gestapo.
Btw, I think this guy's half right: "Comer on Twitter Files: ‘FBI Needs to Be Dismantled’ and Rebuilt".
"Muh private companies" only was valid until Musk bought Twitter. Now the position of TrueCon Inc™ is that social media must be federalized in order to preserve Our Precious Democracy™.
ReplyDeleteOf course, the only social media outlets really needing to be federalized are those owned by Musk. The others are docilely working hand in glove with the Gubmint already. Sort of like Krupp and Messerschmidt did during the Thirties and early Forties.
