Devon Nunes' memo explained Russiagate, accurately, as a fraud created by Hillary Clinton's corrupt paid agents to stage a coup against her legitimately elected opponent. It wasn't released publicly. But people began asking for it to be released, using the "#ReleaseTheMemo" hashtag. 

Serial liar, censor, and civil rights violator Adam Schiff as well as Diane Feinstein and Richard Blumenthal (and other Democratic congressmen) flooded the media with actual disinformation that the #ReleaseTheMemo hastag wasn't being amplified by real Americans, but by "Russian bots." 

They had no evidence for this -- just the claim of a fake "disinformation" organization called Hamilton 68, who themselves had no evidence for it. 

Twitter employees noted that Hamilton 68 never bothered to ever fact-check anything with them, never bothered to ask them about suspect accounts, never asked "Is this account based in Russia? Does it display bot behaviors?" 

No, Hamilton 68 just seemed to brand any ol' account it didn't approve of a "Russian Bot," and the propaganda media accepted its evidence-free pronouncements as "expert" findings. 

This is one of the more corrupt chapters of the Twitter Files. 

Even leftwing Twitter employees call Schiff and his goons "congressional trolls." Trolls demanding censorship based on nothing but partisan spite.

2.At a crucial moment in a years-long furor, Democrats denounced a report about flaws in the Trump-Russia investigation, saying it was boosted by Russian "bots" and "trolls." 

3.Twitter officials were aghast, finding no evidence of Russian influence: "We are feeding congressional trolls." "Not any...significant activity connected to Russia." "Putting the cart before the horse assuming this is propaganda/bots." 

4.Twitter warned politicians and media the not only lacked evidence, but had evidence the accounts weren't Russian -- and were roundly ignored. 

5.On January 18th, 2018, Republican Devin Nunes submitted a classified memo to the House Intel Committee detailing abuses by the FBI in obtaining FISA surveillance authority against Trump-connected figures, including the crucial role played by the infamous "Steele Dossier"[.] 

6.The Nunes assertions would virtually all be verified in a report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz in December 2019.
