Corruption? I wouldn’t be very much surprised, simply because rich people in positions of power are like that.

The part about the informant reminded me of another informant that swore up and down that Saddam Hussein had huge stockpiles of “weapons of mass destruction” -remember that? There weren’t any.

By a trick of memory, I am also reminded of the previous Gulf war, and the harrowing testimony before Congress of a 15 year old girl about witnessing Iraqi soldiers emptying and taking incubators from a Kuwaiti hospital and leaving Kuwaiti babies to die on the cold hard floor. This also turned out to be a completely fictional story, told by (it was later revealed) the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador, that had been coached by a public relations firm called Hill & Knowlton, that was at the time contracted by the Kuwaiti government.

So I guess you can’t always trust informants or evidence produced by republican activity.

      1. Jan 6 wasnt an insurrection, it was a protest.

      2. Trump did not incite jan 6.

        Protests don’t break into buildings hosting elections. Trump is their leader, who intentionally riled them up with lies and sent them in.

          Have you seen the footage? They basically just walked around for a few hours. And it wasn’t broken into, they were literally waved in.

          Trump literally told them to go home.

              Literally the last tweet: “Go home with love & in peace.”

                These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long.

                You can’t just ignore the majority of the tweet, especially while pointing to the very literal last tweet of the day, after all the events transpired.

      We all watched him do it, caught red-handed, and then we’re supposed to be like, but he’s innocent until proven guilty!. Therefore he did nothing wrong

      Just saying “we watched it” doesn’t actually mean it happened. You’re free to just be wrong
