Jeff Carlton, the team\u2019s head, was previously an analyst for the CIA and the FBI, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MrAndyNgo\/status\/1601042110857506817?s=20&#038;t=nQJnR70vgcxRBrEn0khmnQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according<\/a> to his since-deleted LinkedIn page.<\/p>\n<p>This week, Twitter CEO Elon Musk also <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/12\/07\/elon-musk-fires-former-fbi-lawyer-behind-russiagate-hoax-following-unconvincing-explanation-for-hunter-biden-laptop-censorship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">revealed<\/a> that the company\u2019s deputy general counsel, who played a key role in the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, was a former general counsel of the FBI.<\/p>\n<p>Weeks before the 2020 election, Twitter blocked users from publishing links to blockbuster stories from the New York Post that implicated then-candidate Joe Biden in his son\u2019s potentially criminal overseas business ventures. Emails that showed the former vice president\u2019s direct involvement with Hunter Biden\u2019s influence-peddling schemes came from an abandoned laptop in Delaware. Despite no evidence the computer was ever hacked, Twitter suppressed the story across the platform citing its hacked materials policy. The first batch of \u201cTwitter Files\u201d out last week <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/12\/03\/twitter-files-confirm-big-tech-leftists-suppressed-hunter-biden-laptop-story-ahead-of-2020-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">showed<\/a> that the company deliberately shut down the bombshells from the Post out of partisanship.<\/p>\n<p>Jim Baker played a pivotal role in censoring the story at Twitter as the company\u2019s deputy general counsel, telling colleagues \u201ccaution is warranted\u201d that the content might be the consequence of a hack. Prior to joining Twitter, Baker was instrumental in the FBI\u2019s deep-state operation to undermine President Donald Trump by peddling the Russia hoax. Musk fired him from Twitter Tuesday and announced the termination with a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1600237095364096000?s=20&#038;t=VRz8WbQMwC515reaxfZulQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tweet<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn light of concerns about Baker\u2019s possible role in suppression of information important to the public dialogue, he was exited from Twitter today,\u201d Musk wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis explanation was \u2026unconvincing,\u201d Musk wrote in a follow-up on Baker\u2019s justification for suppressing the laptop story.<\/p>\n<p>Another post from Taibbi showed Twitter Policy Director Nick Pickles <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mtaibbi\/status\/1601364081864495104?s=20&#038;t=OrLpNTS_4CXubtlMTBTfIg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">asking<\/a> colleagues if employees could refer to corporate relationships with the FBI and Department of Homeland Security as \u201cpartnerships.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In one internal Slack post <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mtaibbi\/status\/1601362658560995328\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">published<\/a> Friday night, Taibbi further exposed the partisan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;I&#8217;m a big believer in calendar transparency,&#8217; Roth said. &#8216;But I reached a certain point where my meetings became&#8230; very interesting.&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":494,"featured_media":1897992,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Third Batch Of Twitter Files Shows Twitter\u2019s Lead Censor Joking About FBI Collusion","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[7616,7468,6926,5591,6919,5665,7617,6961,4253,6900],"class_list":["post-1771177","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-batch","tag-censor","tag-collusion","tag-fbi","tag-federalist","tag-files","tag-joking","tag-lead","tag-twitter","tag-twitters"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Third Batch Of Twitter Files Shows Twitter\u2019s Lead Censor Joking About FBI Collusion","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1771177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/494"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1771177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1771177\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1897992"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1771177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1771177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1771177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
