They didn't have to submit high quality reports because they were working with ideological soulmates.

You do realize for this to be true - the FBI, one of the most conservative organizations in this history of the country, one that’s never been led by a democrat - would have to be secretly as liberal as Twitter’s trust and safety team? Do you understand why people might not find that plausible?

The FBI serves the state, and itself. If they need to make friends with a leftist to get something done, why would that stop them? I personally find it hard to believe that Crossfire Hurricane was run by a conservative cabal in the FBI, but maybe you're right. Whoever were doing it were elitist reprobates.

What ideology do you believe the Federal Bureau of Investigation to share with Twitter's former leadership?

The FBI investigated both Trump and Clinton in 2016. The difference is that they made a big announcement about Clinton immediately prior to the election.

The one that Twitter ideologues needed to hear from the FBI to get it to do what the FBI wanted it to do.

Was that the only difference? Nothing qualitatively different about the reasons or motivations behind the investigations? Like maybe one was investigated because the candidate was mishandling national secrets in order to avoid freedom of information act requests?

I don't know. Seems like there's a difference.

Do you know what “leftist” means? Do you think Twitter the capitalist multi billion dollar company or its top ranking people have ever been leftist?

LEO are 90%+ on the right. We are talking about the famously conservative FBI here.

Their coordinated actions of banning conservative tweets are "conservative"?
