41. Yes. This. It has been the pubbie 'modus operandi' for years!!!

Oct 2020

Starting, in recent years, with the years long "Whitewater" farce.

How much time, effort and millions did they throw away in the Obama years trying to throw dirt on Hilary? (Along with Obama and others in that admin.) How many hearings, investigations and whatever did they so publicly promote to end up with squat? (Though dump is still trying!!)

They knew damned well that they had nothing, but they used the power of their offices to throw shade and dirty up, later candidate, Clinton. Ultimately, in some fashion, they were successful, and were able to poison the public sphere enough lies, suspicion, innuendo and smears to ultimately doom her candidacy. (Or make it close enough to steal.) And she's certainly not the only victim of their banality of evil.

They've attempted the same game with Biden, but so far, one hopes, they haven't gotten the traction to get the result they are looking for. Mostly because the guy they're looking to prop up is such an unctuous, nauseating, self-serving troll - that that hill is, hopefully, insurmountable.

These types of political operatives and their 'gotcha' mode of operation need to be totally removed and wiped clean from our government. They've done absolutely nothing for the the people they are supposed to represent, other than the their monied sponsors.
