I bet it is an attack on Biden using a false Russian / Ukrainian report.
Watch
I say within the next two or three weeks Trump admin will release a false investigation report coming out of Barr's justice department.
Just be ready for it. Refute the lies!

Trump kind of stepped on Ukraine, though, by ACTUALLY being corrupt and saying no big deal, so Im not sure whatever they cooked up will be very exciting.

treason barr and his minions will be making up stuff against Democrats, the DOJ truly needs to be cleaned out.
Christians my arse, these people are evil.

(20,855 posts)IMO the most likely things to be dominating news coverage in October are as follows:
1 the virus and its death toll
2 the crushing effect on the economy as enhanced benefits expire next month. That will lead to a spike in evictions and mortgage defaults. In addition, there are going to be many high profile companies laying off thousands of workers. American Airlines and United will be two of them. The retail sector will also be hammered. Its going to be ugly.
