You can't put a price on freedom of speech, but apparently you can put a price on denying

people their freedom of speech. And it's the $3.5 million that the FBI paid to Twitter as a

thank you for doing the FBI's bidding. I wish I were making this up. Really? Really?

Hey, everybody. I'm Steve Green with Bill Whittle and Scott Ott. This is Right Angle,

brought to by the members of Bill Whittle.com. And, hey, if you aren't a member, what are you doing? Come on. Go to

Bill Whittle. Join us today. We'd love to have you on board. Anyway, gentlemen, yeah, big revelations

in the Twitter files number seven released. I think Matt Tabby did this set. I can't remember. But apparently, oh my God,

Twitter is almost a wholly owned subsidiary of the FBI for a couple of years there.

So, Bill, let me just direct this at you for starters. Not only was Jim

Baker, their counsel, former FBI, but there were so many ex-FBI employees at Twitter that they

had a dedicated Slack channel for helping onboard them into the company, just for ex-fibbys and Twitter

was so helpful they had staff dedicated to processing the formal FBI request to silence

this user or remove this tweet and some of these tweets were from from no name users with, you know, 12 followers or whatever.

And the FBI was so pleased with how eager to serve Twitter was that they paid them

$3.5 million in taxpayer dollars to help fund the Twitter employees who were doing the FBI's bidding.

You know, I was going to ask you a formal question, Bill, but just take it and run with it.

Well, yeah, I mean, my first reaction is, boy, I sure I'm glad about, you know, writing that

check to the IRS so that I can fund my own suppression,

you know, that's really a fun thing to know, that I'm, that I am paying my tax to actually

underwriting the suppression of my own beliefs in a system like this.

Look, we've been talking about social media practically since we started this

in trifecta in 2008, but certainly in the last five, six, seven, eight years, right?
