The Twitterfiles have confirmed much of what we knew but had trouble proving because the evidence was hidden from plain sight. We only saw the end product of bias, but the Twitterfiles have revealed internal documents from Twitter. The document released in numerous tranches provide the proof that the mainstream corporate liberal media is deeply corrupt, and colluded with Big Tech and the federal government to manipulate elections and everything relating to Donald Trump.

Part 14 of the Twitterfiles was released today in a Twitter thread by Matt Taibi. It concerns former Representative Devon Nunes, and claims that Nunes’ 2017-2018 attempt to expose federal surveillance of the Trump campaign was aided and abetted by Russian bots on Twitter.  Much of the fight was over a memorandum Nunes prepared using classified material spelling out the details. There was an effort to get the Nunes memo released to the public.

I had a vague recollection of the controvery, so I dug back into the Legal Insurrection archives and found these posts:

The media was brutal in pushing the narrative that support on Twitter for releasing the memo using the hashtag #ReleaseTheMemo was a Russian bot operation.

In Part 14 of the Twitterfiles, Taibbi reveals that the claim that Russian bots were boosting the movement to #ReleaseTheMemo was false, it was known by Twitter to be false, Twitter told media and Democrat politicians there was no evidence to support it, but the smear campaign against Nunes and Trump based on supposed Russian bots continued.

Here are a small number of Taibbi’s tweets including screenshots and other evidence, but of course, read the entire thread.

This tweet summed up Taibbi’s findings:

Russiagate, invented by the Clinton campaign, was a massive fraudulent interference not only in our elections, but in our political process, and the media, federal government, and Democrat politicians were perpetrators.
