Today the House Judiciary Committee is having a hearing on the weaponization of the federal government on the Twitter Files. The witnesses are journalists Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger, who have been two of the people sharing a few rounds of recent “Twitter Files” releases (another round was released today).

Matt Taibbi fired back accordingly:

Rep. Plaskett would really prefer a pro-Dem stenographer fresh out of “reporting” school.

Of course not!
