Exhibit 1109 ยท Social-media thread (Twitter Files)
The Twitter Files: Twitter and "Other Government Agencies" (thread, 24 December 2022)
Our window on that is closing, given that government partners are becoming more aggressive on attribution.
Fifty-eight-post thread on the FBI Foreign Influence Task Force meetings and intelligence reports sent to Twitter. It says an 'OGA' (other government agency) attended meetings, that FBI San Francisco forwarded domestic requests from state governments and local police, and that Twitter staff repeatedly found no evidence for foreign-influence claims. Post 40 quotes a Twitter executive's email that the company's 'window' for independent attribution was closing as government partners became more aggressive. The author states Twitter had no input and that third parties ran the searches. The 'OGA' reading as the CIA is the author's, attributed to former officials.

- Note
- Reported: internal Twitter documents as selected, screenshotted and described by the thread's author after Twitter's owner gave the writers access; no complete archive is public and the one X capture opened (Part 1) rendered as an empty shell in the Wayback Machine, so the readable copy is the Thread Reader capture linked under archive (the posts themselves were not re-opened on X). The primary documents that would replace it are the underlying emails and Slack messages, which a court, Twitter or a regulator has not produced in full.
