RNC files FEC complaint against Twitter, claims company made ‘illegal in-kind contribution’ to Biden campaign
The RNC claims that by limiting circulation of the New York Post article about Hunter Biden’s business dealings and Joe Biden’s alleged knowledge of those dealings, Twitter violated federal campaign finance law
By Brooke Singman | Fox News
EXCLUSIVE: The Republican National Committee (RNC) on Friday filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) alleging that the censorship of the New York Post article about Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings and former Vice President Joe Biden’s alleged knowledge of those dealings amounts to an “illegal corporate in-kind political contribution” to the Biden campaign, Fox News has learned.
placeholderThe complaint, filed by the RNC on Friday and obtained exclusively by Fox News, states that the RNC “believes that Twitter has violated FECA and the Commission’s Regulations by making corporate in-kind contributions to Biden for President.”
Twitter Locks Trump Campaign Account Over Hunter Biden News Story Post: Spokesman
The RNC, in its complaint, said Twitter “is a partisan actor, run by partisan Democrats” and is “using its corporate resources to provide active support for Joe Biden’s campaign in violation of federal law,” and demanded the FEC “conduct an immediate investigation” into Twitter’s “illegal in-kind contributions to the Biden campaign,” and “impose the maximum penalty allowed under the law.”
RNC Complaint Against Twitt… by Fox News
The complaint comes after Twitter prevented users from sharing a link to a New York Post report about emails shedding light on Hunter Biden’s business dealings and contradicting the Democratic presidential nominee’s past comments claiming he had no knowledge of his son’s business activities.
The RNC claimed that Twitter is “engaged in arguably the most brazen and unprecedented act of media suppression in this country’s history, and it is doing so for the clear purpose of supporting the Biden campaign.”
The RNC claimed that Twitter has “taken unprecedented actions to suppress the articles from being shared on its platform.”
“Democrat media consultants can only dream of such abilities,” the complaint read. “Through its ad hoc, partisan oppression of media critical of Biden, [Twitter] is making illegal, corporate in-kind contributions as it provides unheard-of media services for Joe Biden’s campaign.”
placeholderThe complaint references federal campaign finance law, which “strictly prohibits corporations from making contributions to federal candidates,” and notes that “contribution” is defined to mean “anything of value made by any person for the purpose of influencing an election.”
Twitter’s decision to block NY Post’s Hunter Biden story ‘unacceptable,’ CEO saysVideoThe RNC also noted that the “suppression” of The Post article “provides a thing of value to the Biden campaign.”
“[Twitter] is acting as Biden’s media operative, taking proactive steps to shield Biden from negative news coverage by blocking its distribution and muzzling those who try,” the complaint read. “If [Twitter] charged for this service, Biden no doubt would gladly pay a significant price.”
The RNC went on to claim that Twitter’s actions “have not occurred in a vacuum” and instead are “keeping with the company’s open support for Joe Biden and hostility toward President Trump and other conservatives.”
“[Twitter’s] feud with President Trump is well known, as are its frequent efforts to censor the President’s tweets and the ‘shadow banning’ of prominent Republicans, including RNC’s Chair, Ronna McDaniel, and several Republican members of Congress,” the complaint states, while adding that Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and other executives “are prolific donors to the Democrat party and other left-wing causes, with 98.7% of the company’s total political contributions going to Democrats.”
The complaint also claims there is a “revolving door between the Biden campaign” and Twitter, saying Twitter’s public policy director recently left the company to join the Biden transition team, and Sen. Kamala Harris’ former press secretary is now serving as a senior communications manager at Twitter.
FACEBOOK, TWITTER LIMIT DISTRIBUTION OF NY POST HUNTER BIDEN STORY
placeholder“Twitter’s decision to censor news articles that harm Joe Biden’s candidacy is so transparently biased it would make even the governments of China or North Korea blush,” RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel told Fox News. “Fortunately, in this country, we have tools at our disposal to fight back against this type of censorship. The RNC is calling on the Federal Elections Commission to investigate whether Twitter’s actions amount to an illegal corporate in-kind contribution to the Biden presidential campaign.”
She added: “Twitter’s flagrant bias and direct support for one presidential candidacy over the other should result in the proper financial ramifications under our campaign finance laws.”
Neither the spokesman for Twitter nor the the Biden campaign responded immediately to Fox News’ request for comment.
The controversy came after the New York Post obtained emails that reveal that Hunter Biden purportedly introduced his father to a top executive at Burisma Holdings in 2015.
The Post report revealed that Biden, at Hunter’s request, allegedly met with Burisma adviser Vadym Pozharskyi in April 2015 in Washington, D.C. The meeting was mentioned in an email of appreciation, according to the Post, that Pozharskyi sent to Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015 — a year after Hunter took on his position on the board of Burisma, and a year prior to Biden helping to push Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin out of his job. Shokin was investigating Burisma.
“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email read.
Biden and Biden allies have maintained, though, that his intervention prompting the firing of Shokin had nothing to do with his son, but rather was tied to corruption concerns.
placeholderThe emails turned up on the hard drive of a laptop dropped off at a repair shop in 2019, the Post reported, adding that a copy of the hard drive ended up in the hands of Robert Costello, a lawyer for Rudy Giuliani, a personal attorney for President Trump.
MCENANY CLAIMS TWITTER HOLDING HER ‘AT GUNPOINT’ UNTIL SHE DELETES NEW YORK POST’S HUNTER BIDEN REPORT
The Biden campaign hit back on Wednesday: “Investigations by the press, during impeachment, and even by two Republican-led Senate committees whose work was decried as ‘not legitimate’ and political by a GOP colleague have all reached the same conclusion: that Joe Biden carried out official U.S. policy toward Ukraine and engaged in no wrongdoing.”
A Biden campaign spokesman said that Trump administration officials testified that the former vice president did not engage in wrongdoing.
“The New York Post never asked the Biden campaign about the critical elements of this story,” Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates said. “They certainly never raised that Rudy Giuliani — whose discredited conspiracy theories and alliance with figures connected to Russian intelligence have been widely reported — claimed to have such materials.”
Bates said campaign officials also reviewed Biden’s official schedules from the time and the meeting alleged by the New York Post did not take place.
GOP accuses ‘biased’ social media platforms of ‘election interference’VideoMeanwhile, prominent Republicans, including White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany as well as President Trump’s reelection campaign’s official Twitter account, were suspended after attempting to share the link to the story.
placeholder“This is election interference, plain and simple. For Twitter to lock the main account of the campaign of the president of the United States is a breathtaking level of political meddling and nothing short of an attempt to rig the election,” Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh told Fox News. “Joe Biden’s Silicon Valley pals are aggressively blocking negative news stories about their guy and preventing voters from accessing important information. This is like something from communist China or Cuba, not the United States of America.”
Twitter said Wednesday the New York Post article was in violation of its “hacked materials policy.”
The company’s 2018 policy prohibits the distribution of content “obtained without authorization.” Twitter doesn’t want to incentivize hacking or circulating “possibly illegally obtained materials.”
“Commentary on or discussion about hacked materials, such as articles that cover them but do not include or link to the materials themselves, aren’t a violation of this policy,” Twitter said. “Our policy only covers links to or images of hacked material themselves.”
Twitter noted that once users remove the tweet in violation, their account will be unlocked and they can continue tweeting.
“Accounts that Tweet the materials or links to the materials referenced here may be required to delete those Tweets based on our policies on hacked materials and private and personal information,” a Twitter spokesperson said Thursday.

Rudy G. Has the entire hard drive, he is a superb prosecutor, and he is not likely to be merciful. He has said several times that Joe / Hunter and Biden family are susceptible to RICO racketeering laws. Given the pedophilia on that disk, Hunter needs to be on suicide watch.

The Seal Team 6 whistle-blowers took a pause today, maybe because of the Hunter Biden revelations, maybe because of the new Iranian nuke bomb plant.

SO if the JCPOA did NOTHING to stop Iranian nukes, then what was it for? Was that sweetheart nuke deal an added benefit to the 352 billion payoff, that was related to Iran harboring Bin Laden?

It gets worse with this freak family – Is child porn being investigated on Hunter’s laptop?
Hunter and Joe Biden Scandal Takes a Dark Turn — FBI’s Top Lawyer on Child Porn Involved in Case
By Jim Hoft
Published October 16, 2020 at 11:20am
…
Bleeding through the top page was the FBI Special Agent’s signature: Joshua Wilson. As Western Journal describes it,
Joshua Wilson works a specific kind of crime: child porn.
FBI Grand Jury subpoena for Hunter Biden’s laptop.
His signature matches up with another document signed by Joshua Wilson so it appears to be the lawyer specializing is prosecuting child porn. Joshua Wilson has a good record for successful prosecutions.

And then you wonder why old man Biden supports having eight-year-olds transgenderized. The entire Democrat party is beholden to child pornographers (among many other insidious interests).

Now that it’s negatively affecting them they “care.” Excuse me for being 100% skeptical. It’s been affecting everyone else for years now. Better late than never but it would have been better if they cared more much more, long before. It’s not as if they ALL weren’t warned well in advance, repetitively and exhaustively. Nothing will come of this until it starts self harming the left. The right (sans President Trump and Senator Cruz) needs to be more reactive than the left. Freedom of speech is actually pretty important.

Milo, Laura Loomer, Alex Jones, Glenn Beck, Wikileaks, Pamela Geller, Tim Pool, Project Veritas, Breitbart, Tucker Carlson, Rush Limbaugh, President Trump, Multiple Trump Administration Press Secretaries, and many countless “non-blue check aholes” have been silenced with nary an objection- until now! And this is just off the top of my noggin, on the complete fly. The full list could easily fit a full frickin’ memorial wall. Perhaps one day, it may. For now, they are upset because it upsets them. What about the rest of the technologically disappeared among us? Say their names.

Hang the scum along William Barr, Christopher Wray, Gina Haspel. These are capital crimes. These other villains are obstructing justice playing is all for fools.

William Barr is the ultimate traitor. Does he thing charging some low hanging fruit satisfies the demands of this arch treasonous conspiracy.
The contempt he shows for American citizens is incomprehensible. He is the worst of the bunch because he pretends to be on Trump’s side and stabs him in the back. He is the ultimate smiling villain. He is the most contemptible.
I am telling you right now, he will let them all walk free!

Trump regularly gets crowds of 20,000 to 35,000 people to hear and cheer him on. Biden’s recent efforts have gotten between 8 and 25 supporters. One speech received zero followers. Ergo, people in some form of power and being Biden supporters will use any underhanded scheme to thwart anything negative about Biden. Information that may move any of his believers to question or rethink their support must be suppressed.
Hopefully, this will end Section 230 protections. Either social media giants are utilities similar to a telephone company or they are publishers with the ability to censor what is carried on their platform; by whim or constantly changing “rules” or “community standards” – whatever that means.
