...why behold the weaponization of the corrupt DOJ, attacking an innocent man willing to bear witness against the BCF and here he finds himself charged with being a spy and worse, just to shut him up! The persecution of truth-tellers is ruthless, but we will overcome! Support me in our fight, donate at....

In fact, at first, I thought you were providing a quote directly from a GOP source.

However I determined it must have been your prediction of their response after realizing that it was too eloquently worded, contained no references to Hillary Clinton's emails, and never once used the term "libtard".

But putting those stylistic differences aside, I think you nailed it.

Upon reading the OP, I immediately thought, "They are going to say the DOJ is being weaponized to go after "whistleblowers" and take down anyone trying to get to the bottom of the "Biden Crime Family's" corrupt activities. The shit writes itself at this point.

How do I know, because like I said, Conservatives are predictable. They have ONE mindset, "I am right, Conservatism is right, and anything that diverges from that, is what is messed up". So, they can't be wrong or lying, it has to be something external that is the problem. Like they cannot understand that Conservatism doesn't work for ANYONE except the powerful and wealthy, but when it fails they always blame the vehicle rather than the ideology.

Too easy.

The Biden crime family will go to jail it's just a matter of how long it takes. Here's another in a long line of whistle blowers who are now on the run for doing a good job of telling the truth about the Biden crime family:

https://nypost.com/2023/07/05/missing-biden-corruption-case-witness-dr-gal-luft-details-allegations-against-presidents-family-in-extraordinary-video/

‘Missing’

Biden corruption case witness Dr. Gal Luft details allegations against president's family in extraordinary video.

Here's a clip from the post piece:

The “missing witness” from the Biden corruption investigation, Israeli professor Dr. Gal Luft, has laid out his bribery allegations against the president's family in an extraordinary video filmed in an undisclosed location while he's on the run.

In the 14-minute recording, obtained exclusively by The Post, the fugitive former Israeli army officer: claims he was arrested in Cyprus to stop him from testifying to the House Oversight Committee that the Biden family received payments from individuals with alleged ties to Chinese military intelligence and that they had an FBI mole who shared classified information with their benefactors from the China-controlled energy company CEFC.

The self-proclaimed fall guy says:

he provided the incriminating evidence to six officials from the FBI and the Department of Justice in a secret meeting in Brussels in March 2019 — but alleges that it was covered up.

“"I, who volunteered to inform the US government about a potential security breach and about compromising information about a man vying to be the next president, am now being hunted by the very same people who I informed!" —

and I may have to live on the run for the rest of my life on the run …” “I'm not a Republican. I'm not a Democrat. I have no political motive or agenda …

I did it out of deep concern that if the Bidens were to come to power, the country would be facing the same traumatic Russia collusion scandal — only this time with China. Sadly, because of the DOJ’s cover-up, this is exactly what happened …”


this professor is a hero but now due to our corrupt weaponized govt. he's on the run.

appeared to have been duped by this "whistleblower". I'm betting he got paid a lot of $ to play the role. But turns out he's a real ciming spy. They are a joke of a Party.

1) they had the gall to try to pull this off,

Or

2) they thought we wouldn’t get wise to it (or that we wouldn’t catch on until it was too late to do anything about it).

Either one is an extra-large helping of suck-a-roonie-pie.

Well since the Biden Crime Family is colluding with China… I’m sure they convinced China to send a spy to falsely blame Biden so they could expose him later and discredit RepubQcans. It’s Dark Brandon!
