MEGHAN MCCAIN: Musk's Twitter reveal proves Biden put his finger on scale ... trends now
Twittergate is nothing short of a scandal and it absoutely reeks.
On Friday night, journalist Matt Taibbi live tweeted the proof of what many people have long suspected.
Joe Biden's political team pressured Twitter to ban their critics and remove negative stories about the Biden family in the run-up to election day.
Now, it was one thing for the then-presidential candidate to mislead the American people in the light of day, as Biden did on the debate stage in 2020 when he suggested his son Hunter's infamous laptop was a 'Russian plant.'
But it's another thing for his campaign team to do it in secret too.
And that's apparently what happened. And we have the evidence – in black and white.
Taibbi, presumably fed documents by Twitter's new boss, Elon Musk, showed us how it all happened.
'More to review from the Biden team,' read one redacted email, which listed five Twitter accounts.
'Handled' was the reply, which meant the accounts had been suspended.
It's still unclear what those accounts were tweeting. But a post by outspoken conservative and actor James Wood was also targeted. He was reportedly tweeting photos of Hunter Biden doing drugs and having sex with unknown partners.

Taibbi also revealed new insight into how Twitter decided to censor the bombshell New York Post report on the Hunter Biden laptop in October 2020.
The Post report focused on evidence that Hunter, then a highly paid consultant for a Ukrainian energy firm, introduced his then-Vice President dad to a high-powered Ukrainian executive.
The smoking gun email read: 'Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It's realty [sic] an honor and pleasure.'
As we all know that report got the New York Post suspended on Twitter and suppressed on Facebook.
Twitter said they shut the story down because they allegedly suspected it to be based on 'hacked' material, but as Taibbi revealed even they didn't believe it.
'They just freelanced it,' one former employee told Taibbi. 'Hacking was the excuse, but within a few hours, pretty much everyone realized that wasn't going to hold. But no one had the guts to reverse it.'
Now pause here for a moment.
Imagine a world in which roles are reversed.
What would my life be like if there were enough pictures and videos to fill an entire 'laptop from hell' showing me committing a variety of lewd and illegal activities.
If there were videos of me having sex on camera, measuring and smoking crack cocaine with prostitutes, and wielding firearms.
Imagine that there was evidence that I was taking money from foreign adversaries and connecting them with influential members of the U.S. government. And more than that – that my family may have been involved and was profiting from it!
I believe people in the mainstream media would care. I believe people at Twitter and in Big Tech would be slightly interested to say the least.
But the ugly truth is that there is no scenario in which I would be covered for the way Hunter and Joe Biden
