* The most recent batch of Twitter files show that the FBI paid off staffers at the tech giant to the tune of $3.5 million
* Emails show that Twitter's deputy counsel Jim Baker met with feds for top secret meeting - a day before he said Hunter laptop should be banned
* In response to the latest Twitter files dump, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said: 'This is going to be a much bigger situation than people realize'
* Earlier it was revealed that former FBI lawyer turned Twitter general counsel Jim Baker helped to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story
The FBI handed nearly $3.5 million of taxpayers money to Twitter to pay its staff to handle requests from the bureau as it sought to ban accounts.
A Twitter employee wrote in a February 2020 email that the company's Safety, Content & Law Enforcement (SCALE) had 'collected $3,415,323' in less than two years from the FBI for 'law-enforcement related projects.'
The email, which was revealed by journalist Michael Shellenberger, stated that SCALE had instituted a 'reimbursement program' in exchange for devoting staff hours to 'processing requests from the FBI'.

WNU Editor: The FBI is denying these reports .... FBI agent Elvis Chan DENIES he warned Twitter security chief about Hunter Biden leak operation (Daily Mail).
As to what is my take. There does appear to be enough evidence that the FBI did try to influence Twitter on what could be posted. This should surprise no one. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg himself admitted the FBI influenced his company to ban certain posts, so why not Twitter .... Zuckerberg tells Rogan FBI warning prompted Biden laptop story censorship (BBC).
So what should be done?
In the 1970s the US Senate launched the Church Committee Hearings to investigate abuses by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), National Security Agency (NSA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) (link here). It looks like the US needs another similar hearing to investigate alleged abuses from these agencies in 2023.
Update: One thing that I find remarkable about the release of the Twitter files is the almost complete absence of legacy media coverage of this story. I know in Canada there has been zero coverage from the main networks. So the question is why? Hmmm .... Dinesh D'Souza may have a point (see below).
