When Viktor Shokin, a former Prosecutor General of Ukraine and notable target of onetime Vice President Joe Biden, wrote a book about his experiences in office, there were powerful individuals within the U.S. Government who didn’t want people reading this book, or even becoming aware it existed. And that’s why government agents insisted Twitter censor accounts promoting Shokin’s book, along with countless others in the tsunami of demands for censorship from government agencies that were flooding into the social media company prior to the 2020 election.
Guest host Aaron Maté and journalist Matt Taibbi discuss the very dangerous precedent established by this unseemly private-public censorial partnership.

Wtf. FBI censoring Americans, and apparently books that are politically inconvenient for the prez, all because Rt bought ads on Twitter?!
So Twitter was blackmailed….. interesting 🤔
If information comes to light indicating that the US Government recommended that my Twitter account be closed, do I have a civil rights case?
J. Edgar Hoover in a dress would be proud.
This reminds me of the old joke we used to laugh at in grade school, how many FBI agents does it take to hack a voting machine? Sorry, I can't remember the punchline. It probably wasn't that funny anyway.
It's insane how fast we saw an inch given in good faith in the name of national security turns into a miles of abuse of power for personal gain.
Anyone else wonder how many more years we have before channels like this disappear?
I can't understand who this will make a difference to… I feel as though we are preaching to the choir and we have all known this for at least 1 year and this is just substantiation, but that it will not lead to prosecutions, jail time or justice… I know that seems cynical, but that's all I have left until I see something different.
When is Jimmy coming back, sick of this guy already
Sounds like every democrat voter needs to buy that book.
The U.S. Government has lied about everything from the day I was born. I know of no truths from the U.S. Government. I believe nothing from MSM, and nothing from the Government. Sorry to say, I don't believe the U.S. landed on the moon, only because they have lied about everything else.The government is the supreme producer of BULLSHIT!
Hey isn't that Sam Brinton . The luggage thief?
The Ministry of Truth is alive and well… right here in America!
Thank you to both of you. The government is censoring everything and they want more😢censoring 😢Wake up ppl!
the whole system is bent
Ben Shapiro is next
This shows how badly the Swamp lead Inferior appointees branches of the government need to be held feet to the fire the *Plaintiff bearing the responsibility of Burden of Proof* and to be held accountable for circumventing the Constitution via a private surrogate which is EXACTLY what Social Media is to government!
I'm loving Aaron's recreation of Kurt Cobains unplugged look!
Why isn't Taibi releasing the ones about N@5!s in Ukraine?!
In the old days, Democrats fought AGAINST corruption………..
I tried to look for the book but aside from a presentational press conference I can't find any shop that sells it, not even a Russian shop.
If you are a member of the right wing democratic party…. your right wing too.
The American people desperately need a "Caesar crosses the Rubicon" moment.
Does anyone else who has been aware of the corruption of the alphabet agencies for decades feel like this whole twitter thing pales in comparison to literally everything else the alphabet agencies have done? Don't get me wrong, censorship is bad, but Twitter is ultimately irrelevant. The US government is still actively involved in wars that are a result of lies from the alphabet agencies.
what's with all these Nigerian crypto scammers in the comments ?? go away ffs. sheesh…
Wow, if nothing is done about what happened between the government and Twitter and the 100% proof of violating so many Americans 1st amendment, I'm afraid there's just no way we can ever claim to be a free country, ever again.. can you even imagine how deep this rabbit hole truly is..??.
Absolutely disgusting, anyone and everyone who had their 1st amendment rights violated to protect the Biden crime family, should file lawsuits against Twitter and against all the alphabet groups. This cannot go unpunished, but if it does, we are so far beyond screwed…
Appreciate all you do!✊♥️
Does anyone know what Shokin's book can be purchased?
That guy has a really bad eye for hanging up framed pictures lol yikes… Someone buy that dude a level
Arron has kidnapped jimmy call the fbi.
Oh wait… they're probably in on it.
Probably thought they'd get their heads blown off if they refused. Or found hung by a bed sheet.
Dr Burzinsky
Waiting for convenient human trafficking allegations aimed at Taibbi to mysteriously arrive. Believe all women
WOW!!
I remember that video of Corrupt Biden bragging how he got the honest prosecuter fired by withholding US aid packages! This is actually a rampant problem with virtually all US aid to Africa.
Needless to say Corrupt Media hid all of it!
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT YOU MEAN THAT VIDEO THE ONION DID OVER 10 YEARS AGO THAT MOCKED ANYONE THAT THOUGHT THIS IS WHAT IT WAS GOING TO BE USED FOR … WAS ACTUALLY TRUE ALLLLLLL ALONG OOOOOHHHHH MMMYYYYYYYY GOOOOODDDDD WHAAATT NEWWWWSSSSSSSSSSS
I am disappointed to see this video had such few views !
Did the Ukrainians and Chinese buy off everybody in Deep State Left? Geeesh! All these government officials wearing thousand dollar suits. Weak sauce.
That makes the CIA (Criminal Insane Agency) and the FBI (Fraudulent Bastard Institute) part of the evil and criminal oligarchy which took over the US – and now the world. This is a new type of war and you’d better understand that we are the oligarchy’s new enemies. Get very active, if you wish to save everything good. We need now our own organization. A United Organization of Opposition to Oligarchy. It needs to be inclusive of all and global. It needs to be a nee type of Union. Old unions no longer work – or were also bought by the criminals / traitors.
Great job Matt
Russia vs HIVE MIND ( 10million joos + billion exploitable goyrim). Russia lost this war before it began
I basically assumed everything the Twitter files has been revealing was going on. It's nice to have evidence, although shout out to people like Dr. Shiva who covered some of this stuff first relating to covid and other things back in like 2020. Great to see it getting more air play and broader reach though, props to Elon for this one. I hope the Twitter Files continue indefinitely and more journalists are brought in to cover it all.
Don’t know the guy in photo but he is my candidate a Health & Fitness product advert.
I'm full maga but love taibbi, mate and especially greenwald
Didn't they become the editor of the book in question by applying any force against it?
Trump was right, the Bidens are a crime family
