In response, a Twitter employee said that three of the four accounts were suspended and asked another person at the company to review the fourth account flagged by the FBI for"possible civic misinformation."

One of the Tweets flagged by the FBI states,"Americans, Vote today. Democrats you vote Wednesday 9th." "We focus on activities attributed to foreign actors, not on the content or narrative," the FBI officials said when asked if the agency provided no information to Twitter employees directly or indirectly, or regarding Russian influence and Hunter Biden.

Dig in Fox and go get it figured out and investigate. You are the only news media with the balls to get it done and report on it. You need to bring it out and put some light on it. Deep state cannot get away with it.

I was surprised to find out that reimbursement and bribe were synonyms.

OMG WE LIVE IN A COUNTRY RUN BY ORGANIZED CRIME.

It's not reimbursement, it's bribes

FBI can I, umm, get some of that there reimbursement too?

Funny how they don’t have to answer for it if we did it they would call it a bribe.

Reimbursement for suppressing American's freedom of speech.

Crooks

The FBI, has committed capital treason, then they dare to say that it is misinformation. They are liars.

Of course they refuse. Deny, deny, deny!!

Don't believe it, trying to cover their butts!

The us government is the biggest. Threat to our democracy. Sad that the government is our biggest enemy. Stealing and manipulating the people at will.

Why would they not share the other sites and dollar amounts? 🤔

Nice that my tax dollars are going to twitter to censor myself and my fellow Americans. This kind of stuff must be vetted thru congress. Stop the abuse!

FJB

Trump appointees STILL in charge...

That money was stolen from the American people and paid without permission to subvert the rights of the very people it was stolen from.

FBI = Gestapo

'Reimbursement for services rendered.' in doing as they were told to do. Banning a 100% legit story, shadow banning conservatives, you know... The usual.
