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 were covered for, because I am a conservative and the media loves slandering conservatives and protecting Democrats.
In his reporting, Taibbi – no great friend of the conservative movement, who has worked for some of the most liberal news outlets in America – makes it very clear why this happened.
Taibbi also revealed new insight (above) into how Twitter decided to censor the bombshell New York Post report on the Hunter Biden laptop in October 2020.
'Twitter was and is overwhelmingly staffed by people of one political orientation, there were more channels, more ways to complain, open to the left (well, Democrats) than the right,' he wrote.
It's obviously true and the Biden campaign obviously knew it – and they put their thumb on the scale to take advantage of that fact.
The Democrats knowingly and actively sought to shut down the opinions of ordinary Americans – big and small – because they knew they could and get away with it.
President Biden must answer for this.
Does he now regret how his campaign influenced political debate in the waning days before an election?
Knowing what we know today that the laptop is real, and Hunter Biden is in very real trouble with law enforcement, does President Biden think that was ethical?
Does he think that his campaign's backroom influence strengthened our democracy?
I doubt it. But he'll never answer those questions.
We all remember that on a presidential debate stage in 2020, Biden suggested the scandalous Hunter laptop was a 'Russia plant.'
To date, there is absolutely zero evidence whatsoever that Russia or spies or 'disinformation' had anything to do with it.
The honest truth is that a desperate and drug-addicted Hunter dropped his laptop off at a repair shop and left it there.
After a period of time, the owner of the laptop shop, who was shocked by what he found on the machine, turned it over to the authorities and associates of the Trump campaign.
But still the truth couldn't get out.
Silicon Valley leap to censor a story that could potentially do immeasurable damage to a Democrat before an election.
Imagine again.
What if instead of Joe and Hunter – a laptop emerged that held information about Donald and Donald Jr.

Do you think Twitter would have erred on the side of safety?
In fact, we don't have to imagine this scenario at all, because we know that the mainstream media gladly published and reported on the phony Christopher Steele Dossier.
That was not just false, it was faked. But it helped the Democrats' cause so it was deemed worthy to print, and tweet, and post and spread around the world a million times a minute.
This sad episode reveals – once again – that Big Tech, which has a stranglehold over speech in America, is ideologically captured by the left and the Democrats.
There is a line from the book 'Catch 22' by Joseph Heller that I cite frequently, 'Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't after you.'
So many times, conservatives feel like they're being censored and lied too. We feel that we're having our opinions suppressed and that powerful forces in this country are against us.
What are those conservatives supposed to think tonight?
The fallout from this remains to be seen, but you can only fool so many for so long. Americans are sick of it.
The extremely unethical business practices that helped put Joe Biden in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue cannot be ignored. Americans are fed up with the idea of outsourcing control over their speech to Silicon Valley.
Hunter Biden on the other hand is living his best life in Malibu, selling his art for upwards of $500,000 and taking celebrity turns at the White House.
I am not fooling myself. There will be very little ramifications for the people behind this behavior.
But maybe, with the help of Elon Musk, at least one Big Tech platform will reimagine itself.
