According to The Resident, anyway.

"We never got a request from the Biden team about the NY Post articles"

George, seems like the guy you’re quoting misread that.

The tweet he quotes does not contradict what Twitter told the FEC.

[George K]

@jon-nyc yes. I was unclear.

What the FEC statement says that they didn't receive requests from the Biden campaign about the the NY Post articles.

But, the the emails show is that the Biden campaign DID interact with Twitter regarding other issues that they found problematic.

Though the two statements are not the same, they are not necessarily contradictory.

One imagines that if Taibbi finds a request to suppress the laptop story from Team Biden he will happily release it.

I suspect that hot potato was a phone call.

I can understand the perspective that Taibbi's read of the document dump does not warrant a wikipedia entry currently.

There’s a long entry on the Hunter Biden laptop controversy. Maybe it should be a paragraph or two in there.
