The move confused many as Bush has reportedly not been seen in public since his father’s funeral on December 6th.

Hmm. George W Bush's Twitter is locked. Died? Arrested? Fled? Worried? – https://t.co/mwWWLuC2Ct

Bush’s Twitter locked down. No tweets = Brennen, Michelle, Hillary, Barry, Biden, Jeb, Clapper. Thankfully Obama didn’t close GITMO!

That’s something a lawyer would advise. Delete your social media accounts. Something is on the move here.

Hillary and Obama sent out tweets from last Christmas. Something is afoot.

Hillary tweeted Merry Christmas with a photo of Bill, her, and Chelsea from 20 years ago…Obama tweeted same thing with a 4 year old photo, Comey been silent 4 days along with Jeb and Brennan! George Bush Twitter has been deactivated! They've been arrested I believe

Is it possible the alleged “indictments” a few GHWB funeral attendees received forced some elites (i.e. George W. Bush) to go into hiding?

UPDATE: In 2013, the official U.S. Department of State Twitter account tagged both George and Laura Bush in a tweet. Notice Bush’s handle (@georgewbush). This should confirm it’s his real account –

Sending @georgewbush and @laurawbush best wishes for speedy recovery. Teresa & I wish #43 good health. -JK
