BREAKING: Twitter Execs Received Mysterious Email From The FBI Just Hours Before Censoring Hunter Biden Laptop Story
A brand new batch of the “Twitter Files” has dropped and it dives deeper into the decisions to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story in October of 2020. One of the most interesting revelations was the discovery of an email that was sent to Twitter’s Yoel Roth in the hours leading up to the release of the story and the eventual censoring of it.
The files show FBI Special Agent Elvis Chan sending 10 documents to Roth through Teleporter, a one-way communications channel from the FBI to Twitter.

What exactly were included in these 10 mystery documents? We can’t say for sure, but all we know is that the Hunter Biden story was censored just hours later. Nothing fishy about that, right?
As Michael Shellenberger reports, the NY Post story dropped the next day and was censored within hours:
8. The next day, October 14, 2020, The New York Post runs its explosive story revealing the business dealings of President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter. Every single fact in it was accurate. pic.twitter.com/TC2AnLNJAw

9. And yet, within hours, Twitter and other social media companies censor the NY Post article, preventing it from spreading and, more importantly, undermining its credibility in the minds of many Americans.
Why is that? What, exactly, happened?

Shellenberger further confirms this was NOT “Russian Propaganda”, as the media falsely claimed:
14. Were the FBI warnings of a Russian hack-and-leak operation relating to Hunter Biden based on *any* new intel?
No, they weren't
“Through our investigations, we did not see any similar competing intrusions to what had happened in 2016,” admitted FBI agent Elvis Chan in Nov. pic.twitter.com/tFPMqbydbA

15. Indeed, Twitter executives *repeatedly* reported very little Russian activity.
E.g., on Sept 24, 2020, Twitter told FBI it had removed 345 “largely inactive” accounts “linked to previous coordinated Russian hacking attempts.” They “had little reach & low follower accounts." pic.twitter.com/hy7hPahChS
