Dems ordered Silicon Valley monopolies to remove Parler. They obtained. That forced Parler to use a Russian company for hosting.

Now, Dem @RepMaloney wants to investigate Parler for Russia ties, and the WPost article includes this:

Here's the letter of @RepMaloney -- Chair of the powerful House Oversight -- demanding the FBI investigate a US citizen, the founder of Parler, for ties to Russia, citing - among other things - that his wife is Russian.

Xenophobic, McCarthyite madness:

There is absolutely no question that more planning of and advocacy for the Capitol protest was done on Facebook and YouTube than on Parler.

Why isn't @RepMaloney demanding the FBI investigate these companies, which give tens of millions to the Dem Party & their candidates?
Forcing Parler off the internet and then investigating them as "suspicious" because they were forced to hire a Russian hosting company reminds me of how Obama officials prevented Snowden from leaving Russia, trapping him, then used his presence there to smear him as a Kremlin spy
