5. I bet they've done a f*ck-ton of investigating

and that’s the reason for their inaction. They know very well what’s in the files and the content doesn’t serve the interests of the Lying Loser In Chief.

7. Why are we pretending Krasnov wants to do something?

8. "We" are not pretending.

But the MAGA cult clearly is willing to rationalize and excuse child rape in exchange for their dream of a homeland where all they have to contribute is their whiteness (not an achievement in any way) in order to attain supremacy.
