No you were not following what he was trying to say because you are likely uninformed (most public citizens are uninformed) of the underlying context the Democrat questioner was trying to avoid. They were discussing the Mueller report and the Democrat was trying to make a big huff huff about russian interference in 2016. What he didn't want spilling out was the size and scope of that "russian interference." Once the dust settled according to the investigation record, the "interference" amounted to less than 5 russian run facebook meme pages that reached less than 10,000 people. This group even tried to organize an anti Hillary protest that nobody showed up for. 10,000 people who do not even show up to the rally do not in anyway shift the election....THAT is what he meant by the difference between influence and actual influence. Or alleged influence vs acted on influence..... You all caught up now? The Democrat was using a dishonest redirection tactic while trying to skirt discussing the findings of that investigation in order to make a weak loose point. He tries that because he knows his voter base is stupid and does not research on their own and only follows buzzword triggers to guide their emotions. Even you did not understand the scope of the questioning based on your comment.

[@ByteShadow]

You cannot alter a hard drive without changing the signature (hash) of that hard drive. It is easy to corroborate an original against an 'altered' hard drive, takes all of a few seconds. If the FBI had the hard drive in 2019, any copy of the hard drive can easily be corroborated against the original hash to verify it's authenticity. This isn't anything new, it is the standard procedure when dealing with the chain of evidence in digital storage, similar to an evidence bag in other criminal proceedings. The same hashing method is often used even for authenticating file downloads online. The insinuation from a democrat that the hard drive may be tampered with is completely lacking in integrity and holds no basis in reality.

What they released were things that the state did ILLEGALLY. If as a vet you support illegal and authoritarian actions of the state then you aren't and never were a soldier. You are a hitman for a state that is run like a mafia. Take an example from Prysner and his iron balls speaking truth to power. Sadly he didn't do it before he became a war criminal by supporting the illegal actions of the US terror state overseas. Tell me, what's the moral highground decrying Russia's actions when US does the same and worse to the Nth degree? How do you feel about US influence in South America? In the middle east? Do you think we made the world a better place than before we got involved? Is there less killing in those places? Are people living better? Is US seen as a force of good in those places after we left? Did we follow protocol when we refused to appear before the ICC for any allegations made against us? Secret clearence only applies to lawful conduct. If CIA poisons the water in my town I'd very much like to fucking know even if it would paint a bleak picture of the state, because in case you forgot, the state is there to SERVE THE PEOPLE, not the otherway around. At least that was the social contract I accepted growing up since I don't live in Russia or China. Maybe you and people like you got confused as to where you live and which country you serve and who the country really is. Because the country is not the system, it's not the politicians or the elite. The country is all the people, and you don't serve the interest of a specific group or the shareholders of a company. As a vet, who did you exactly serve? For whom did you take the actions that you took? Any notable places you served at that I can't simply water down to you serving a certain company's interest over the people you vowed to defend?

You mean like Republicans who are actually censoring speech across the country

[@asiastormy8728]

Disgusting how they are willing to do this so openly just because they are in power or represent the elected party power, and they do not think when they lose power in another 2 years, they will not be punished in any way or persecuted for this evil public actions.

That felt good having the chairman jump and just destroy Dan Goldman's argument.

[@binarydigit0942]

By not having the tweet on hand to prove that it was lawful speech, and then not answering when asked if he would enter it into the record after "getting" it later? Lol Jordan actually destroyed himself.

[@HandmadeCreations]

I’ve been asking that for years! Not only have they commit treason, many of them have committed crimes against humanity! These people that ask, “for what” reveal they don’t do their own research. They just listen to the lying talking heads. I wish people would want to know every detail of every allegation against someone no matter what side they are on and stop taking the word of some news personality who is paid to lie. The only real journalist are the ones who are seeking for the truth for themselves! If you care about your freedom, you will dig for the truth and set aside everything you have been told. And turn that worthless tv off and throw it out of your house. It’s nothing but a bunch of garbage!

[@BathersonMote]

Probably when they commit a treasonous act. The word "treason" has a meaning, and it's not typical bickering, partisanship, or political games, which is what both sides are doing here.

[@HandmadeCreations]

@@BathersonMoteperhaps you should research all the documentation that was released in 2020. But I warn you it is sickening what has been done. That weasel Fauci, has committed crimes against humanity and has helped to overturn a sitting President on lies and false claims. It goes deep and you should be paying attention because you comment like you don’t know anything is going on. Please, educate yourself.

Robert Mueller's "investigation" produced what was more of a dossier than a true report; i.e. a propaganda device for the Dem Party, not a legitimate summary or conclusion.

I'm glad were FINALLY investigating this but sadly, no charges will be filed. I'm so sick of politicians getting away with everything.

[@MD-qz1wx]

There cannot be any charges filed because there were no crimes. The republicans in this committee are not alleging a crime. In fact, it is not clear what the goals are with this committee.

[@tweker69]

@@MD-qz1wx Certain members of Congress and the fbi violated chapter 18 sections 242&243 of the federal U.S code.

[@MD-qz1wx]

@@tweker69 Probably not 243, but if 242 was alleged, then members are not raising it in this committee. Likely because Trump's office notified Twitter to take down tweets while he was president. In this hearing, the FBI only flagged comments/posts for inspection, which any other Twitter user could do. It does not force Twitter to remove the post or even block it. It only alerts them to look at it to see if it is a violation of Twitter's terms.

[@Remember_when]

But then why aren't they investigating trump for having the FBI try to ban Tiegen for calling him a PAB? It's ok that trump did that ? No, it's not but the GOP isn't interested in punishing trump for anything.

[@Remember_when]

@@tweker69 No, they didn't. Goldman shows that having the FBI notify Twitter that it may be breaking its own TOS is NOT the same thing as telling Twitter to stop what they're doing. Taibbi tries to say they are the same thing. Also, if you believe what you are saying then trump should be investigated as well for having the FBI try to ban Tiegen for calling him a PAB when he was president.
