Doesn't matter now. 'They' already made the statement that the 'right' was attempting an armed rebellion, hell bent on capturing & executing members of the Executive Branch of the US Govt.
ReplyDeleteDeny it all they want, they put their narrative out there just as they wanted to. This is just their CYA moment.
You know, just once I would like to be guilty of something before I'm accused of it. Metoo, insurrection, rebellion, racism, sexism, SOMETHING!

ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing it, commie bastards.

The jury will ignore the statement by the witness.
ReplyDeleteWhomever released the info in the first place should be fired. Whatever happened to ‘we do not discuss/comment about ongoing investigations’. I suppose the FBI will investigate for 4-5 years and say no law was broken. I despise the double standard
