Watch: Clapper just conceded on CNN that “No, I did not” find evidence of Trump-Russia collusion. Then, after being asked about leaking to the press, his video connection went dead...

Like the WHO official whose connection went dead when asked about Taiwan.

The "connection died" thing has become such an over-used tool to censor people. It almost makes me wish they did in-person interviews more.

The WHO official commenting about Taiwan was great. I most certainly hope that stays online out there in some form. That's Bagdad bob level of trollery.

But I'm gonna guess in-person interviews are just too dangerous now and in the future for most access media folks.

I think it's more that Clapper hung up when asked about leaks, since he violated his security clearance repeatedly to leak top secret information.

Twitter is a private corporation and blows. They have some sort of hyperlink problem that they never fix for older browsers.

Twitter is used heavily by the CIA and other intel outfits inside and outside the US. The CIA mentions it in a speech at Cornell and it's on their own website. The speech is interesting and was probably a sales pitch for new recruits. The Ivy League is a favorite recruiting ground for that three-letter-agency. See: https://www.cia.gov/news-information/speeches-testimony/2015-speeches-testimony/deputy-director-cohen-delivers-remarks-on-cia-of-the-future-at-cornell-university.html That was five years ago so I expect if anything they pay more attention nowadays. Apparently some well-known non-US intel agencies communicate via Twitter. I have never used it for several reasons but mainly because of its bias.

Yup, the founder, Dorsey has several CIA connections, and then you have Paul Singer, the hedge fund Zionist on board. Perfect world of CIA and Zionist censorship.

Maybe because so many people are watching your twitter activity. :)

Turn off tracking protection. It's usually to the left of your address bar.

Odd, I remember this spook constantly going on the talk show circuit telling people that he knew Trump was a Russia puppet...

That is what's confusing me... Seems like a ruse to pull views (no rhyme intended)
