They said that the “October Surprise” was that the DoJ was fabricating a case that would allow them to indict Obama and both of the Clintons just before the election.

I didn’t put too much store in it when I first read it. Now...???

In any event, my sense is that, if Trump and Barr try something like that now, it will backfire on them badly.

DOJ To Charge 2 British ISIS Militants Accused Of Role In Killing U.S. Hostages

Source: NPR

The U.S. Justice Department is expected to announce charges this week against two British nationals suspected of being part of a notorious Islamic State cell accused of torturing and beheading Western hostages, according to a law enforcement official.

The two men, Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh, were captured in Syria in 2018 by Kurdish allies of the U.S. and were transferred to U.S. military custody in Iraq. They are expected to arrive in the U.S. in the near future, setting the stage for one of the biggest terrorism trials in the country in recent years.

NBC News first reported their expected transfer to the United States.

Kotey and Elsheikh are believed to be one half of a cell of Islamic State militants in Syria nicknamed "The Beatles" because of their British accents. The cell became notorious in 2014 for its brutal treatment of hostages, including on-camera beheadings that the group posted videos of online.

Guaranteed there will be something truly despicable, designed to flip the election. No doubt multiple attempts. Trump isn't going down without every lowlife spreader cell in his body spewing all filth

Just so they can haul him into a location where infectious people can surround him without masks.
