Top House Committee Reviewing Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s Testimony For False Statements
The Federalist ^ | 11/27/2018 | SEAN DAVIS

The House Energy and Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over telecommunications companies like Twitter, is now reviewing whether Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey provided false testimony before the committee in September.

A top House committee that oversees the U.S. telecommunications industry is now reviewing whether Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey lied to Congress during a hearing about Twitter’s controversial history of arbitrarily censoring content published by the site, an aide for the House Energy and Commerce committee told The Federalist.

“The committee is aware of Twitter’s actions and is currently reviewing Mr. Dorsey’s testimony,” the aide said after Twitter suddenly banned Jesse Kelly, a Marine combat veteran, writer, and popular radio talk show host, without explanation.

As The Federalist reported on Monday, Dorsey was not truthful about his or his company’s response to death threats against prominent conservatives — including against Meghan McCain shortly after the death of her father, former Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) — nor was he truthful about whether Twitter policies discriminated against users based on their politics. It is a federal crime to provide false testimony to Congress.

After what Dorsey’s minions did to Laura Loomer, he should be pushing a mop at Albertson’s.

It’s fun to pretend that they’re going put this turkey’s feet to the fire, but that’s all it is... pretend. The chances of a perjury charge on Dorsey for this testimony are near zero. The chances of a perjury conviction are zero.

So how now, Mr. Dorsey?

After you and all your hooting and howling goons called for Kavanaugh’s head on a platter for “perjury”, the same for anyone Mueller thinks he can squeeze, the same for any Republican hauled before some Communist Show Trial committee that we can expect in the future from the Rat dominated House.

Guess it’s a two way street, huh smartguy?

Fine. And after you do that, go back to the farce of a Zuckerberg hearing where he answered almost every question with a nonanswer: "Senator, let me talk to my team and get back to you on that." "Senator, I'll take that question for the record and get back to you on that."

And those flaccid politicians, most of whom get campaign money from Zuckerberg, did not press him at all.

Go review THAT testimony and DEMAND that he "get back to you" with real answers.

I’ve read here and there that the administration is definitely looking at twatter, Fakebook and youtube/goog and will do something about them. I’m too dumb to remember exactly under what aegis but maybe anti-trust, or something about being publishers not media. Others (maybe you!) will know. But “doing nothing” is not likely going to be the path.
