Interesting. Media outlets have been sitting on a Trump campaign oppo file on Vance out of a newfound reticence to publish materials stolen from campaigns by hackers.

But apparently today some Intercept reporter tried to publish it on X and his account was promptly disabled by Musk. What's going on with the "free speech absolutist" these days?

Elon Musk Suspends Reporter Who Published JD Vance Dossier
The X, formerly known as Twitter, account of journalist Ken Klippenstein was suspended on Thursday following the release of a dossier about Sen. JD Vance that was allegedly from an Iranian government hack.

"Here's the dossier the media refused to publish," Klippenstein wrote in a post earlier.

Klippenstein, who is a former reporter at Intercept, published the dossier to his substack website about three hours prior to the account suspension on Thursday. It is still available to be viewed at the time this article was published.

"The dossier has been offered to me and I've decided to publish it because it's of keen public interest in an election season," Klippenstein wrote. "It's a 271-page research paper the Trump campaign prepared to vet now vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance. As far as I can tell, it hasn't been altered, but even if it was, its contents are publicly verifiable. I'll let it speak for itself."

Newsweek reached out to Klippenstein and X via email for comment but did not hear back in time for publication.

Good.

Musk should also report that person to the FBI for trafficing in hacked material.

Let people know that leaking shit will get you IN the shit.

Except it was probably the FBI that stole the information and leaked it in the first place.

If the DoJ could do that, the 2016 Trump campaign would have all been busted. The reporter didn't do the hacking. The 1st A covers them.

Musk is just a liar and an asshole.

So you think MTG should be locked up for showing stolen Hunter B pics?

What happened to free speech absolutism and the public being able to see all kinds of information so they can decide for themselves?

Was this your position when Trump praised the Wikileaks publishing of hacked information?

🤣 🤣 🤣
