The Twitter revelations have exposed the FBI. Now it is time for the agency to be held accountable, so that this never happens again.
From The Epoch Times. The FBI is facing subpoenas after the so-called “Twitter Files” revealed that the bureau had been working closely with the social media company, according to Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio), who is the incoming chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

“We are definitely pursuing the Department of Justice and also the FBI,” Turner told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” before adding, “We certainly intend to pursue subpoena power to expose the extent to which the FBI has been doing this.”
He thanked the new Twitter chief Elon Musk for making the internal Twitter documents available.
“While we pursue intelligence community to try to hold them accountable, while we’re doing that, Elon Musk is showing what’s happening on the other side with the willing partners, the mainstream media, social media, and really exposing coordination that was occurring between the FBI and them,” Turner added.
The sixth batch of internal Twitter documents, released by journalist Matt Taibbi on Dec. 16, revealed that the FBI and Twitter had “constant and pervasive” communications. The bureau allegedly treated Twitter as a “subsidiary” and flagged accounts and tweets for Twitter to take action against.
One particular set of documents House Republicans will seek to obtain via the subpoenas are the FBI’s “secret files,” according to Turner. …
The House Intelligence Committee in the Republican-led House will look into who was the mastermind behind the FBI’s interactions with Twitter.
“Who is it that’s coordinating this? How can we cut off the money, prohibit this in the future?” Turner said. “We will use our subpoena power to track that down and make certain that this doesn’t happen again.” …
Republicans
Turner is not the only Republican demanding answers from the FBI following the release of the sixth installment of the “Twitter Files.”
“@FBI has a lot to answer for after the latest drop of #TwitterFiles6,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) wrote on Twitter on Dec. 16.
Gaetz said that he will be joined by Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Mike Johnson (R-La.), Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), and Dan Bishop (R-N.C.) in “asking the questions.” …
According to Taibbi, the FBI formed a social media-focused task force of 80 agents after the 2016 election, and they “corresponded with Twitter to identify alleged foreign influence and election tampering of all kinds.” …
Two Republicans suggested the sixth installment of the “Twitter Files” could suggest that FBI has worked with Facebook and Google in a similar capacity. …
