Twitter finally suspends Guccifer 2.0 and DCLeaks in light of Mueller indicting 12 Russian agents who used the accounts
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/ny-news-guccifer-mueller-russian-agents-twitter-20180714-story.html
Twitter booted Guccifer 2.0 and DCLeaks from its servers on Saturday in light of special counsel Robert Mueller indicting 12 Russian agents believed to have used the notorious accounts as fronts for the Kremlins Trump-boosting interference in the 2016 election.
The accounts, which have been dormant for at least a year and a half, were suspended less than 30 hours after Mueller charged the Russian agents with hacking Hillary Clintons presidential campaign, the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Campaign Committee ahead of President Trumps election.
The account has been suspended for being connected to a network of accounts previously suspended for operating in violation of our rules, a Twitter spokesman said, declining to comment further.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein unsealed Muellers latest indictment during a press conference Friday.

Money speaks louder to twitter and facecrook. Especially facecrook who lied and claimed to clamp down on fake news by allowing the biggest fake news promoter, infowars on their site.
