Congress might not be in as much of the dark as we are, but the cult of secrecy is reigning supreme in Washington.

The FBI is a huge organization and a lot of people worked to assemble that information. Comey's ass is the only thing keeping the lid tightly clamped on so none of the information gets out.

Remember his role in making sure Clinton was defeated and Asshole got in. He is very vulnerable to being smeared with everything that has been uncovered because he was so blinded by his hate for everything Clinton that he didn't share what he had when he had it.

Remember, this has been going on from at least last July, well before the election. If he were the patriotic person you want us to think he is, he'd have blown the whistle on the fat fraud months ago and kept him out of the White House.

GOP was pouring money into his opponent's campaign. My opinion is that the Republicans have been committing election fraud in Wisconsin since the first Walker win.

Bush did not validly win Ohio. I was there on the ground in Cleveland and the SOS (concurrently shrub's OH campaign director) was calling people telling them they were not allowed to vote because they had a brother in prison, or they hadn't voted in the last election, etc, all total BS with targeted personal info, intended to intimidate. And that was just a piece of it.

Look at Detroit this last time, with 800 voting machines not working.

They are IN and we need to get them OUT.

The redistricting court cases are great and need to multiply fast so we get better results in '18.
And secure the voting machines, make em all paper.

and 2004 elections which then gave us the Bush SCOTUS which then gave us Citizens United and the gutting of the Voting Rights Act in 2013. THere was massive voter suppression in both those elections as well as machine issues, aided by Katherine Harris, FL SOS in 2000 and Ken Blackwell, OH SOS in 2004, both repub SOS involved in the Bush campaign.

Johnson got more votes than thump in Wisconsin. If you look at the results they smell like a big dead fish.
