>You’re thinking of the FBI, who reported to Trump.

You wrote that I’m sure doing your very best to believe it. Bless your heart.

I don’t have to make an effort to believe it. It’s what all of the evidence shows – even your guys running through Twitter’s internal communications for months couldn’t find any evidence of the alleged censorship campaign. The best Taibi could come up with is presenting links to deleted tweets and counting on his readers not to check archives to realize they were nude photos rather than something politically relevant.

Out of curiosity, if Trump was President for 4 years and near the end of that term, didn't have control over the FBI (which seems to be what you're insinuating, please forgive me if I've misunderstood you)... Why would anyone want to elect him again?

>>shadow+9S
Cool, so you have self-discovered that there is a bureaucracy class of nobility.

>>SV_Bub+YZ
You'll have to clarify your meaning. "Nobility" doesn't apply literally in this context and there are too many metaphorical applications to follow what you're trying to say.

If I might infer you are implying that the President can't fully control the bureaucracy due to various checks and balances put in place against capricious replacement of the whole thing (which the US tried early in its history and discovered was hellishly disruptive)... The question presents itself again. If Trump can't "lead the nobility," as it were, why elect him again?

>>SV_Bub+YZ
That’s one possibility. Another is that your guy just isn’t very good at management, which would be supported by his business career, or that the problem here is that the FBI was acting in good faith following relevant code and policy but you wish that was not the case.
