    Another word for “federal agencies” here would be “Trump administration”.

      Yup. Because Trump would certainly make moves to get Trump banned from Twitter.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Based on the incompetence of a number of his senior staff during his tenure and campaigns, that isn’t completely outside the realms of possibility.

              If you combine stupidity, arrogance and self-absorption, what do you get?

                Do you doubt that there were people in the Trump circus administration that were trying their best to undermine him? I don't.

                Look at Alexander Vindmann who was SHOCKED that POTUS set foreign policy and was an instrument in impeachment #1.

                These are probably the people that @jon-nyc referred to as the "Trump administration."

                  The fact that it wasn’t necessarily clear whether it was deliberate or not should possibly give us pause….

                    1. Examining the entire election enforcement Slack, we didn’t see one reference to moderation requests from the Trump campaign, the Trump White House, or Republicans generally. We looked. They may exist: we were told they do. However, they were absent here.

                    Who told Taibbi that these requests happened anyway? If it was a TDS sufferer, we can at this point safely discard the claim. Not sure why Republicans would waste their time asking Twitter for any favors. Not to say they won't uncovered an example or two finally, but it's unsurprising that the "both sides are equal, except when the Republicans are worse" crowd gets another L on this one.

                    Education is extremely important.
