Matt Taibbi has a post up at Racket News about his experience testifying before a congressional committee on Thursday.
Then the hearing began, and an episode of Black Adder: Congress broke out.
I’m sure the Democrats believed they had a cunning and subtle plan.
I suspect that this congresscritter thinks a Substack is the smoke funnel on an undersea naval vessel.
Now. James Baker, former FBI General Counsel and Twitter in-house lawyer, answering a question from Rep. Jim Jordan during a hearing—
To the best of my recollection, I did not talk to the FBI about the Hunter Biden story before that day,
Then. Richard Nixon, before a grand jury—
I should point out that I can never recall suggesting Mr. McGovern, Senator McGovern’s files be checked.
I think so, Brain … but none of us have been mentioned in the Twitter Files yet.
I just got finished with my day job for the week when a friend let me know that Matt Taibbi has begun the next dump of Twitter files. I’m gonna go to the kitchen to make a sandwich and get another cup of coffee. When I get back, I’ll see if there’s something unexpected. Maybe I’ll even have a comment.
UPDATE—Well, there weren’t any surprises for me in tonight’s dump. The TL/DR seems to be that everything proceeded as I have foreseen.
When asked if the Biden campaign told Twitter that Hunter’s laptop files were “hacked,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to say if anyone close to President Biden made such an assertion in order to justify suppression of the NY Post‘s report.
I can’t speak to decisions made by the campaign from here. It is a political campaign … I am covered by the Hatch Act …
Well, she is, but I’ll bet the Biden team also will be doing what it can to avoid self-incriminating statements.
Oh, that Jim Baker.
