- The FBI knew the Hunter laptop story was coming from the NY Post, knew it was a real story, that the laptop was legitimate, had no evidence of any hack, and manipulated Twitter into banning it anyway. Twitter also says that story was not even an actual "vio."
- Twitter was unable to find substantial evidence of foreign influence.
- Ex-FBI employees working for Twitter coordinated with the FBI without other Twitter employees present. They also had their own Slack channel.
- Twitter was paid 3.4 million for handling FBI requests, and the FBI frequently complained that Twitter was one of the least helpful companies.
