EXCLUSIVE: Ken Klippenstein Explains Why He Published JD Vance Dossier

"Behold the dossier.

It reportedly comes from an alleged Iranian government hack of the Trump campaign, and since June, the news media has been sitting on it (and other documents), declining to publish in fear of finding itself at odds with the government’s campaign against “foreign malign influence.”

I disagree. 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. 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."

I hear what he is saying, but yeah, I definitely would have had the good sense to redact the home address.

[oliverstianhugaas]

His family home? His SSN? You all know this is over the line, will you share your SSN and home with us? No.

[ivanbrown]

They start actually talking about substance of material at 12:00

[shlpsoap]

Safety account on Twitter said“Ken Klippenstein was temporarily suspended for violating our rules on posting unredacted private personal information, specifically Sen. Vance's physical addresses and the majority of his Social Security number”

[yishnir]

There needs to be an open source communication platform.

[Jay_Frank]

Musk is a massive hypocrite? I'm SO shocked!

[johnwilson]

Do not forget that Musk is an Afrikaaner by origin

[snoopychrysler]

...and Elon dares to be the keeper of free speech?? C'mon.

[Dattobayo]

Isn't the time ripe to make a new Twitter clone? I'm sure advertisers are itching for a less controversial one to advertise on.

[matthewwinstone]

Ken k is a very good journalist. Full stop.

[TheBenolan]

Ken: foreign influence is negligible.

Me: **looks at AIPAC**

[DeadCat-]

Being banned on X is now one of the biggest flexes you can have..
A badge of honor..

[blktarockstar]

Elon the free speech absolutist. As long as that speech is coming out of a foreign government.

[CraigMcfly]

Smart move Ken. Because Dusk has this coming.

[Hardcastle]

Did anyone else totally zone out and hear nothing whenever this guy spoke? I want to know, but I have no idea what he said.

[AuntieFa]

Mad respect to Ken Klippenstein. One of the best and most integrious investigative journalists out there.

[charlesnunya]

his home address adds nothing of substance to the story and he should have not included that. There is no justification for that. TYT should take the story, take out the home address and repost it.

[TraumaQueen]

X is all about free speech! Isn't it? 🤬🤬

[voxpopulitotheleft]

Right wings are short circuit in the comments section. Instinctual rather than critical.

[Deeplyrooted]

So post Kamala's personal address either directly or indirectly and see what happens... No self accountability... Bad idea in the current political climate. Cenk is stretching on this one... Anna Kasparian, thank you for your objectivity! 🙏🏾
