Anecdotal evidence this morning suggests that Twitter has begun suspending accounts mentioning Hillary Clinton and her myriad of scandals.
A New York Post columnist found his account suspended for the following tweets:
Funny, don’t remember the FBI raiding Chappaqua or Whitehaven to find the 33,000 potential classified documents Hillary Clinton deleted. And she was just a former secretary of state, not a former president.
And…
The current deputy general counsel at Twitter is also the former general counsel at FBI HQ under Comey. His name as you may know is James Baker, and he was the top attorney who reviewed the fraudulent anti-Trump FISA wiretap warrants for probable cause.
Hot Air’s Ed Morrisey has more:
Stumped? So was Paul Sperry, the New York Post columnist and commentator who tweeted it out. There was nothing factually inaccurate about the statement, nor anything threatening or obscene about it either. Hillary Clinton did use an unsecured and home-based server that not only stored but transmitted classified material, including some at Top Secret-Compartmented levels. She did delete half of the e-mails on the server before begrudgingly turning it over to the FBI, claiming that they were all personal in nature.
As for Baker, that’s also true. It may or may not matter, but it’s not factually incorrect. And even if it was, Twitter could have appended a rebuttal statement to the tweet or simply removed it as “misinformation,” as it does with others.
Furthermore, these are entirely germane points to the events of this week, especially in light of the claims made by Merrick Garland yesterday.This argument is currently being made by many, many people about the Department of Justice’s raid on Mar-a-Lago over a document retention dispute and allegations of mishandling classified material. In this context, this barely counts as provocative, let alone a violation of terms on a platform designed for commentary.
Sperry says his suspension is permanent. The uncompromising response by Twitter is part of what legal scholar Jonathan Turley calls Twitter’s “crackdown on dissenting political views.”
As Turley wrote this morning:
Obviously, all of those points can be — and have been contested — by others. However, that is the point. Social media should be a place for the exchange of viewpoints as part of our national dialogue on controversies like the Mar-a-Lago raid. Twitter, however, has long dispensed with any pretense of neutrality in limiting such discussion to fit its own corporate agenda.

more proof that Twitter is NOT something that anybody ought to be using
If we all just quit using all of these Leftist so called “Social Media” accounts, they would go out of business as soon as the supporting advertising companies realized that their ads were not being seen by anyone.
Hillary, your days are getting shorter.
