Your view on the content of the Twitter files is false. There were clear communications demonstrated by the investigation including the hiring of an FBI lawyer as a top legal employee of Twitter.

Further, Taibbi and Musk are currently feuding over Musk trying to strongarm Taibbi into using Twitter instead of Substack. Taibbi has openly criticized Musk for this and is no longer associated with new dumps from Twitter. Taibbi is a credible journalist and is one of the few willing to expose major corruption within the government and corporate realms. We need more like him.

Why the super secret contract then?, why the unwillingness to criticise musk on some of the even simplest things?.

His debate with Mehdi Hasan was very telling.

Mehdi Hasan proved nothing in the “debate” other than he is a shill for the security state trying to score a hit for the losers that watch bloviating garbage like MSNBC. You keep going on about a super secret contract like that means anything significant in comparison to the mountains of damning evidence presented by Taibbi and several other actual journalists.
