4. Even if Bobulinski had done business with Hunter Biden (he didn't, by his own admission) and even if Joe Biden was involved (he wasn't according to corporate records) it still wouldn't have been misconduct After leaving the WH, Bush gave a paid speech in China https://t.co/tF7l2GQXKj — PolitiTweet.org

3. Tony Bobulinski is not a "business partner" of Hunter Biden. He was discussing business with Hunter Biden and the business went through. He is CEO of a company that never did any business and is worth nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

2. The core issue is that even if every email from the laptop is legitimate and everything Tony Bobulinski alleges is true, it does not prove any wrongdoing by Biden. That's why its not a story. — PolitiTweet.org

1. There is no "media blackout" of the Hunter Biden story, his alleged laptop or Tony Bobulinski. The problem is the story makes absolutely no sense. Follow along if interested. — PolitiTweet.org

In retrospect, maybe it wasn't such a good idea to put a guy who isn't convinced that smoking causes cancer in charge of the coronavirus task force https://t.co/xO2MvXwvmb — PolitiTweet.org

@NEWRELIC1 @amazon This is false. Amazon donates the money directly. It is not a charitable contribution by the customer. You can read more about the program here: https://t.co/TLBy1CDu7A — PolitiTweet.org

@ByronYork I think Facebook has badly mishandled this, but Facebook does not assign fact-checkers. Its algorithm produces a list and fact-checkers can select from the list if they want. But what the fact-checkers review is up to them. They can pick stuff not in the Facebook list. — PolitiTweet.org

@jkmiami89 @amazon @amazonsmile Amazon makes the donations directly. It decides what non-profits to include or exclude for the program. I don't think there is any comparison between Planned Parenthood and NVIC — PolitiTweet.org

7. Oh, BTW, Amazon did not respond to a request for comment about its donations to NVIC. https://t.co/l21BSoDmSu — PolitiTweet.org

5. Since the start of the pandemic, NVIC has emerged a leading source of misinformation about COVID. "Is that mask giving you lung cancer?" is the caption of one of its recent Facebook posts https://t.co/l21BSoDmSu https://t.co/BC7iix192O — PolitiTweet.org

4. The $ donated by Amazon to NVIC is funding dangerous misinfo. The American Academy of Pediatrics said those that help NVIC spread its message, "are putting the lives of children at risk, leaving them unprotected from vaccine-preventable diseases" https://t.co/h4xKnbZVFf — PolitiTweet.org

@morgansraes @amazon If I said that it would be factually inaccurate. Amazon makes the donations, not the customers. And Amazon decides which non-profits are eligible. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@amazon @amazonsmile 3. The money donated to non-profits by @amazon is usually not public. But a volunteer for NVIC published the data to VaxCalc Forum, a password-protected message board for the anti-vaccine movement https://t.co/l21BSoDmSu https://t.co/zpND2b1YIX — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@amazon 2. The money was donated to NVIC by @Amazon through @AmazonSmile, a program where Amazon donates 0.5% of purchases to a United States non-profit of their choice. Amazon excludes certain non-profits for various reasons, by NVIC is included. https://t.co/l21BSoDmSu — PolitiTweet.org
