Biden team starts @PresElectBiden while clashing with Twitter
Joe Biden’s transition team flipped the switch on a new Twitter account for the president-elect on Thursday night, while clashing with the social media company over its decision to deny the incoming administration millions of existing White House followers.
Twitter plans to reset both the @POTUS and @WhiteHouse official accounts to zero followers for Biden.
The two accounts currently have a massive audience — nearly 60 million followers combined, though there is overlap.
Trump got a head start in 2017 when he inherited about 12 million followers of @POTUS from President Barack Obama’s tenure, plus millions of followers from other official accounts.

Evidence that USCP head was in on the riot.
He sent his people home early when
they were expecting to stay all day and
were expecting the entire force to be present.
iow, USCP chief ordered an less than avg daily presence of Capitol police.
When the riot started, USCP head didn't call his people back to the Capitol.
And the Capitol police are reporting they had no commands or direction from the chief during the day.
Lots of suspects: FBI, DoD

Off-duty police were part of the Capitol mob.
Now police are turning in their own.
There’s been a notable break in the so-called “blue wall of silence,”
an aspect of police culture that encourages officers to ignore misconduct by their peers.
