Nobody ever is in the govt.
We had the IRS red handed in targeting conservative PAC's and non-profits and Trump and Congress should've made it a priority to clean the IRS up.
Trump could've pushed this and supported it and started cleaning the swamp here. But he didn't despite having Congressional Oversight committee and Jason Chaffetz ready to do it.
No one is held to account. We may have a couple people forced to retire and resign. But that is nothing. They should go to jail, and lose pensions

I didn’t read every email, but are there names of government officials who were requesting specific things be removed?
I hope the names of government actors come out in Eric Schmitt and Jeff Landry's lawsuit against the federal government and Big Tech.

What can happen to them? Some have been fired and escorted out of the building only to walk directly into their next job. Some have quickly retired. McCabe lost his pension but that was only momentary and was soon restored.
Kevin Clinesmith was the only one found guilty and his judgment was quite light. Sussman got off. Strozk and Page don't seem destined for court. Comey slid through it all like shite thru the goose.
I believe jail time was warranted, but these are career bureaucrats. They've all worked together for years and know how to navigate through the government regulations they work under.
If you pull security clearances, then they're screwed from working contract jobs for companies after they retire from the government. That cuts off significant earnings potential in the later years of their careers.

accountable via the jury box or ballot box? Never happen.
accountable at bayonet point as they're marched to the gallows? only way it'll ever happen, even if but don't hold your breath

No. Nothing will ever happen until the people hold them accountable.

Not with a Democrat Administration and AG Garland in there. Wray has been a massive disappointment as well.
While the blatant cooperation between government actors and Twitter was unethical there is enough gray area to question whether or not it was illegal.

You have to consider the historical win/loss record of MAGA/America First vs the LWO Globalists, with the exception of catching the corrupt rat bastards off guard in 2016 with the election of Trump the LWO Globalists are undefeated.

I don't think so. I haven't seen anything that tied a specific government official to doing anything. But there are more releases coming. So far there's not been anything illegal done that I've seen. Just Twitter being a shitshow when it comes to moderation.

This may or may not be true. I'm not a lawyer. But I'm sane, and so I know we've seen that our gov't infringed 1A rights.
It is wrong for a government to coerce or collude with a private enterprise to restrict speech, and gov't officials or entities caught doing so should be held accountable somehow. If we can't imprison people, then we should at least be able to publicly tar/feather them, or perhaps just fire them and cancel their pensions.

At least Judgement Day isn't too far off.
