That's like the FBI investigating whether Squeaky Fromme was an Ursuline nun when she shot at Gerald Ford, or if George Floyd was a KGB agent...
I suppose the FBI will say they were just following orders from the DOJ? How else to explain the obvious stupidity?

Which kinda explains why UknowHu is doing everything he can think of to trigger said protests – martial law is the only way he can call off midterm elections without riots (in theory). And once you've cancelled one election, why stop there?

My theory is that the armchair historians are waiting for the Kristallnacht moment, the tipping point when everything that follows is an unstoppable runaway freight train that eventually runs out of track, and see "martial law" as that moment, which will be triggered by nationwide protests...

This masking up to prevent prosecution is exactly why RICO legislation was passed. If you're a member of a corrupt organization (the mob) and participating in the crimes anonymously, the entire organization goes up the river as if they all had committed the crimes of one member. It's the only way.

Is all of our suffering just to distract one man from his inability to rise to the occasion? It could explain his hatred of the Department of ED.
Imagine, if anyone is left to write the history books, that he's going to be remembered for how he projected his self-loathing onto an entire country.

That Trump must resort to using the DOJ (something Nixon wanted to do while POTUS) against anyone he doesn't like is an indication of how politically weak he is. A politically strong leader would not behave so impotently in public.
Is it because he is privately "inadequate" and is compensating? 🤔

I would say Vance/Bowman has no convictions *at the present time* but I hope to see him in front of a jury before this is over. Then I hope he enjoys lots of convictions.

I think Sam has it. There are stray spots on the paper/scan. I blotted them out, then highlighted what looks like "In" and "W". Can't tell which was first. I will note the center peak of the W is higher than others on the page, and the top right of the W bends to the right. Correction by another?

* I don't know the amount nor can I prove there's a "hazard event" bonus, I've only heard rumors, so do *not* take my word for it.
The gleam in his eye says he's been waiting for a moment like this and he's proud that he just murdered someone. Remember that POTUS pardons don't cover state crimes.

Look at the spring in his step. He's not upset. He's elated! Finally got his hazard bonus! Can't wait to tell the other guys how he blew away an observer shooting video without his permission so he felt threatened and yeah, unloaded his clip. He'll get $50K* and a medal. The bystander gets lead.

Congress has the power as long as the Constitution is upheld. No one is upholding it. Those sworn to protect it are doing nothing. It's now just a pretty piece of parchment. There is no law now in America beyond the whims of a clown. We are literally held hostage to "his gut". It's time to rise.

Oh we've noticed. Do you think John Lewis would shrug and say "there's nothing I can do"? No. To quote Lee Iococca, "you either lead, follow, or get out of the way." They aren't leading and they aren't getting out of the way. What's left? That's what they're doing: enabling the fall of the Republic.

With Epstein "neutralized" (🤷) who's running the child trafficking espionage ring now? The purveyors/partakers are still out there, all the pieces are still on place, all that's needed is someone (competent, that leaves out anyone named Trump) to coordinate it all. I know you can't say here.

I agree completely, but the novelist in the back of my mind thinks it would be virtually impossible to capture the devil incarnate *unless he/she/it wanted to be captured*. There's no way ClownPotus could capture ol' Scratch.
