Putin will make sure voting is impossible or red states will refuse to certify their vote forcing 12th amendment then since there are more red states than blue, guess what.

I just want to not die from the virus the GOP is purposely trying to kill me with.

Hope we don’t find him hanging from a Jina/Barr neck tie from suicide. When we convict Barr for treason, hanging is the only method that should be allowed to carry out the sentence. It will take steel cables though, and a very long one to fit around his lying jowells.

unless it buys him time to get evidence safely tucked away.

His Deputy taking over was't in Barr's plan so that might help Berman secure whatever
