First
It was 50 EX Intelligence figures.... They did not work for the government, they were private citizens and have first amendment rights to voice their opinions or to support a candidate.
who did not lie to the American people.... They gave their opinion that the lap top story could be a Russian psyops.... They did not say it WAS Russian shenanigans, but it had the signs of possibly being....
Third, because social media chose to ban the article for a few days....the uproar brought more readers to the NYPost site to read the lap top article than any other time in the NY Post's history.
MORE PEOPLE read it, than if it were not censored by Twitter etc....it's called The Streisand Effect, Google it. It was AMPLIFIED not censored.
Giuliani dropping the lap top story in the NY POST for an October surprise failed because there was not enough time or tangible files for the news to verify the story and the NYPOST refused to hand over copies of the lap top files for verification before the election.
