When a government is ALLOWED to go after its citizens, this is no longer a democratic republic. That would be considered a dictatorship of some kind. What am I talking about? In March, independent journalists Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger testified to the House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government about their roles in the release of the “Twitter Files.”
From One American News:
Stacey Plaskett, a Democrat, and the delegate from the Virgin Islands to the United States Congress, recently sent a letter to journalist Matt Taibbi accusing him of perjury and suggesting that he could face up to five years in prison.
Mehdi’s viral deception that Taibbi lied under oath about DHS/CISA now has House Dems explicitly threatening Taibbi w/ imprisonment. Taibbi was accurate in this quote, yet here’s a letter from Rep. Stacey Plaskett citing Mehdi to float a threat of 5 years of jail against Taibbi
Plaskett accused Taibbi of spreading “misinformation” while “alleging that CISA – a government entity – was working with the EIP to have posts removed from social media.”
