If you haven’t learned that you can’t trust the media or the left after Russia,Russia, Russia, then you will stay on the left no matter what. Kinda like freedom loving Trump voters?
NO, rigged evidence
if you believe it took a year and a half for the doj to figure that out, i’ve got the bridge just for you!!!
The corrupt traitors that form the sinistral political organization in this nation will never rest until they are satisified (which would be never) or they are dead. I advocate the latter.
The DOJ and FBI are CRIMINAL institutions for they are now Political Weapons !
They deserve no respect because they prey upon the innocent USA Citizens !
I say ” FUH-Q to all the Alphabet Agencies for they no longer work for the USA !
The ONLY way we can take back our Country is to vote ONLY for True Republicans !
Of course he took the documents, they were his documents just as Obama’s were Obama’s and Biden’s will be Biden’s….and what’s more, Obama pushed through a law that made ALL documents de-classified automatically when the president took them home to study….and yes, he concealed them too…..WHEN THE FBI VISITED HIM MANY MONTHS EARLIER AND SUGGESTED HE SHOULD LOCK THEM UP (part of the dirty under-handed setup) to try to pass off the lie that he was hiding them….this foul play is already falling apart and now the slime balls Biden picked to do the hatchet-job are trying to keep the affidavit provided by the crooked little judge who was in on the scheme, from being shown….they were finally FORCED to show it to the public….but they blacked out the entire document except the introduction on the first page !!!
When the house and senate are taken over by patriotic Americans in November, they will all be brought before congress to answer for their parts in this FEDERAL crime….several have suddenly decided not to run for re-election this fall, but that won’t stop them from being convicted, RIGHT will ALWAYS win in the end !!!
The FBI and the DOJ are as crooked as they want to be. And with a crooked President telling, them what to do and not to do, like stop all Investigations on my son Hunter. That is a little much. And he calls others crooked, he lies so much, he doesn’t know the truth from a lie.
