What a cop-out, is all I could think when watching Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s “I plead the 5th” type answer when questioned about Twitter impression and how it connects to the Biden crime family. The Press Secretary caved when given a perfect opportunity to bring some real transparency to the table—But of course, she did.
<a href=”https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2022/12/07/press-briefing-by-press-secretary-karine-jean-pierre-december-7-2022/”>White House</a> Jean-Pierre was questioned by Fox News White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich on if President Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign was aware of the FBI’s communication with Twitter.
Heinrich asked the query after a signed declaration revealing that the FBI had informed Twitter executives of a potential “hack-and-leak” by “state actors” to meddle in the 2020 presidential election was made public. During weekly meetings with Twitter and other government agencies, the FBI alerted the social media platform to purported election security concerns.
“Did anyone from the Biden team communicate to Twitter that this reporting stemmed from hacked materials?” Heinrich asked at Wednesday’s briefing.
“Are you talking about the campaign?” the press secretary asked.
“It would’ve been the campaign or anyone around the family, just wondering because in the Twitter Files release and what Matt Taibbi said, he noted that typically the company would require a law enforcement or official finding that something was hacked in order to exercise their hacked materials clause and that he didn’t see that in what had been given to him,” she continued.
According to the press secretary, she is not permitted to speak on behalf of a current or prior political campaign due to the Hatch Act. She responded that social media platforms’ content is solely the responsibility of the companies that operate them.
“I can’t speak to decisions made by the campaign from here, it is a political campaign so I can’t speak to that from here,” she said. “I’m covered by the Hatch Act and so I’m just not going to comment on the question that you’re asking me.”

The press secretary <a href=”https://dailycaller.com/2022/12/07/jacqui-heinrich-jean-pierre-biden-campaign-twitter-suppression-laptop-story/”>claimed</a> at the briefing on Monday that Twitter CEO Elon Musk “haphazardly” released the “Twitter Files” to draw attention away from the purported spread of false information and hate speech on his network. In order to reveal information on former Twitter executives who hid the Hunter Biden story, Musk and Rolling Stone contributing editor Matt Taibbi shared the material.
Federal law enforcement was not involved in Twitter’s decision to delete the laptop article, according to Taibbi. The New York Post and former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany’s accounts were restricted by Twitter on October 14, 2020, for sharing the Post’s report there.
