New York Post: Twitter Is ‘Riddled’ with Ex-FBI Employees

The New York Post reports that many of Twitter’s top executive roles were staffed with ex-FBI agents, connecting the company even closer to the federal agency which is being criticized for allegedly leaning on Twitter before the 2020 elections.

Over a dozen former federal officials reportedly joined the company in the years before Elon Musk purchased the website in October. An investigation by the Post found that while James Baker, the FBI’s former general counsel who worked in the same capacity at Twitter, has made headlines after being fired by Musk, the FBI’s influence spread much further than just Twitter’s legal department.

This latest investigation comes shortly after the release of another round of the Twitter Files which appear to show that the FBI dedicated dozens of agents to pressure Twitter to remove political tweets it didn’t like. In many cases, the former FBI agents were in positions f leadership that would allow them to directly influence the censorship of the Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story coverage in 2020.
