Chairman Comer: On October 19th, fifty-one former intelligence officials published a letter that Hunted Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation, which Joe Biden used as a talking point at a presidential debate on October 22nd. But we all know now that this was not Russian disinformation. It wasn't disinformation…Joe Biden used that letter to brush aside the few questions he received about the story.
Raskin: The professional conspiracy theorists who are heckling and haranguing this private company [twitter] have already gotten exactly what they want. An apology.
None of the witnesses look very happy to be there. kek
Baker: My main goals for this statement are simply to attempt to set the record straight with respect to certain false assertions that have been made about me in the public arena…I was not aware of, and certainly did not engage in, any conspiracy or other effort to do anything unethical, improper, or unlawful while I was at twitter.
Baker: At no time was I an agent or operative of the government, or any political actor, when I worked at twitter.
Gadde: On October 14th, 2020, the New York Post tweeted articled about Hunter Biden's laptop with embedded images that looked like they may have been obtained by hacking…we blocked links to the articles embedding those source materials.
Roth: In 2017, I led the team at twitter that uncovered significant interference in an American election by agents of the Russian government.
Navaroli: If we are going to talk about social media and the government, we need to talk about twitter's failure to act before January 6th. I am here to tell you that doing nothing is not an option. If we continue to do nothing, violence is going to happen again.
Navaroli is an accessory to overthrowing the government.
Navaroli: After former President Trump in his debate said the statement, 'Stand back, stand by' to the Proud Boys, my team in discussion with other teams at twitter realized we had a gap in our policies, and that that could not be said on the platform because it would have gone too far….those statements, in addition to other coded incitements to violence, or dog whistles, began to spring up on the platform.
Navaroli: The former president said that he likes to send out his tweets like 'little missiles'. To me that sounded like weaponization of the platform, and yet twitter was not concerned.
Chairman Comer: I can assure you that committee will succeed in holding the Bidens' accountable. So much of the evidence of wrongdoing from this family is located in that hard drive that you all led the American people to believe was Russian disinformation, when in fact, it was not.
Baker: I don't recall speaking to the FBI at all about the Hunter Biden matter.
Norton: With the release of the so-called twitter files, Donald Trump has seized the moment to further his own conspiracies about the 2020 election…this is the same man who incited an insurrection.
Roth: Elon Musk also made the decision to share a defamatory allegation that I support or condone pedophilia.And this lie led directly to a wave of homophobic and anti-semitic threats and harassment against me…following the Daily Mail's decision to publish where I live, Ultimately I had to leave my home and sell it.
Mace: Ms. Gadde, where did you go to medical school?
Gadde: I did not go to medical school.
Mace: You guys censored Harvard-educated doctors, Stanford-educated doctors…you silenced those voices.
Roth: Most of their conclusions ['academics' and 'researchers'] suggest that the number one most influential part of the Russian Active Measures campaign in 2016, was the hack and leak targeting John Podesta.
Jordan: If it [Hunter Biden laptop story] didn't violate your policies, and they [FBI] didn't tell you it was fake, didn't tell you it was hacked, why'd you take it down?
Roth: The company made a decision that found that it did violate the policy…the decision was communicated to me by my direct supervisor.
Connolly: On September 8th, 2019, at 11:11pm, Donald Trump heckled two celebrities on twitter, John Legend, and his wife Chrissy Teigen and referred to them as, 'The musician John Legend, and his filthy-mouthed wife.'
KEK
Connolly has one of those rings with the big black gem or whatever it is.
Donalds: Do you think twitter would be in violation of federal election laws with the size of an in-kind contribution to take down a story, which is true, by the way, because you guys thought you knew something with limited information?
Baker: I'm not going to speculate on that, sitting here today…try to propound a legal analysis of election laws.
Ocasio-Cortez: [Republicans] can not let go of this obsession with fixating violence, and inciting violence, against trans and LGBT people, in addition to immigrants, in addition to women of color. This is a party that cannot pick on anyone their own size.
Jordan: Mr. Roth, was there ever any visibility filtering, that was hard-coded by twitter employees, into accounts of specific users?
Roth: Twitter employees were responsible for building the systems that performed visibility filtering, and then that filtering would have been applied either automatically…
Jordan: There was hard-coded into some of these accounts of specific users, by twitter employees, this ability to filter, limit the reach of that particular tweet?
Roth: I wouldn't say they are hard-coded.
Taylor-Greene: While you coordinated with DHS, the FBI, the CIA, our government, and outside groups, to permanently ban, shadow ban, conservative Americans, and candidates like me, and the former president of the United States, President Donald J. Trump, you were censoring and wrongfully violating our first amendment free speech rights. None of you hold security clearances. None of you were elected.
