Disinformation.

And Bullshit.
Paul gaslights with the best of them.

No, it's the law. This follows a court order for information:

The law already says that if the FBI is legally requesting information for an investigation under a number of different legal authorities, the companies receiving those requests can be reimbursed for fulfilling them.

(a)Payment.—

Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c), a governmental entity obtaining the contents of communications, records, or other information under section 2702, 2703, or 2704 of this title shall pay to the person or entity assembling or providing such information a fee for reimbursement for such costs as are reasonably necessary and which have been directly incurred in searching for, assembling, reproducing, or otherwise providing such information. Such reimbursable costs shall include any costs due to necessary disruption of normal operations of any electronic communication service or remote computing service in which such information may be stored.

Twitter got paid "millions" by the FBI for fulfilling the requests from a court order.
Not that I really expect you will, but here's an opportunity to educate yourself:

Thanks Paul.... for making that rebuttal to an argument that no one is making...

Have you no shame at all?

The money isn’t the point at all.

But it is. One of Elon's "reporters" makes a wild claim of the FBI paying millions for censorship.
Everybody immediately follows him down the rabbit hole. The deep state is controlling our media.
Turns out the were paying Twitter for court order data requests.

Does anyone care it's a made up headline that doesn't fit the facts?
No...too busy chasing the conspiracy rabbit.
Is it retracted? Corrected? Explained?
Why bother when people are lapping it up.

It wasn't "bullshit." It wasn't "misinformation."

It isn’t but it gives you a desperate way to deflect.

Go, Kari Lake is looking for attorneys.
Seems like hers are all jumping ship in fear of sanctions.

Can you practice in Arizona?

It’s in Court today so what are you talking about?

You sure you want to go there?

Yes and Yes.

Gaslighting and deflection are Paul’s twins.

[XU_Lou]

Yes and Yes.

I think Paul's just getting a little too aroused while looking at Hunter's "dicpics".
