and they are the Jan 6th insurrectionists we've charged and they'll attempt to find out who gave them marching
orders for a plea bargain, next they'll go after the "tourist guides" and the oath keepers/3% percenters and
those directing the insurrectionists and attempt to get them to rat out Qrump for a reduced sentence. Sadly
he will be the last one to face justice, ring leaders always are. But have no doubts, he's headed to jail.

We have a committee voted on by the people. Jordan is a sickening excuse of a Congressman. Of course we have many more in State Government. Corrupt to the core.

Instead he is campaigning, planning to run for office again. What is going on? If I or any one of us had done the same thing DJT has done, we would be locked up PRONTO!!

Not going into details - it's all spelled out here on DU posts and on Twitter and FB and in the REAL News for the last 16 months or so.

Genocide is a War Crime. TFG voluntarily set his Covid agenda to be Genocidal. Hence he is a War Criminal.

Accept it yourself or not...I agree with Carl.

war crimes is despicably war-free, but how about charging Bernstein himself with complicity in crimes against humanity?

He spent 2016 hawking his latest book all day long on MSNBC and other political shows by comparing Hillary's emails to Watergate. A hit job for hire.

I had no idea and doubt most others knew. Bernstein just dropped many points in my book. I knew Woodward sucked up to Republicans to buy his once a year books, but not Bernstein. I have only seen Woodward once since this began and he was shame faced. CNN asked him to appear with Bernstein.
