Trumpist Lawyer Lin Wood Goes on Unhinged Rant Suggesting Justice John Roberts Is a Murderous Pedoph

Source: Daily Beast

Pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood ramped up the crazy on Wednesday night by suggesting Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts was somehow involved in Justice Antonin Scalia’s death and part of a child-sex cult.

Wood, alongside on-again-off-again Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell, has been at the forefront of President Donald Trump’s hopeless attempt to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s decisive victory in the Nov. 3 election. Besides filing a slew of conspiratorial lawsuits alleging election fraud that have been laughed out of court, Wood has urged Georgian Republicans not to vote in next week’s pivotal Senate runoffs because of his belief that the election will be “rigged.”

The QAnon-peddling attorney took things to a whole new level on Wednesday night, however, when he decided to take to Twitter and toss out a series of dangerously unhinged accusations.

“You are recorded discussing Justice Scalia’s successor before date of his sudden death. How did you know Scalia was going to die?” Wood asked Roberts in one tweet, casually adding: “Are you a member of any club or cabal requiring minor children as initiation fee?”

After painting Roberts as a murderous pedophile, the far-right attorney went further down the QAnon rabbit hole by bringing up deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting the chief justice was mixed up in trafficking children and apparently hinting that he may have had Epstein killed.

Worse than being called a pedophile. Being called a racist is pretty bad, but pedo is worse. So, when trying to smear an enemy, it’s probably the worst charge to have made. And when you hear someone labeled that way, even if it can’t be proven, there’s always a smidgen of thought (no matter how small) that it could be true.

So...it’s an effective card to play with your political opponents; therefore, it’ll be played from time-to-time.

The Tea Party was created by Republican operatives for partisan attacks on the democratic establishment. The Tea-Party claimed to be non-partisan, yet somehow contained no Democrats and only attacked Democrats.

Then the Tea Party grew out of control and began attacking moderate Republicans. Over the course of 2004 and 2006, more and more old-school moderate Republicans were primaried out and replaced with Tea Party crazies.

Then Trump came and drove the Republicans even further to crazyland. And now they are attacking ANYONE.

The Tea Party didn’t exist until 2009. They formed after Obama’s inauguration. They did not primary moderate Republicans in 2004 and 2006.

In my files somewhere. Found it by chance.

“TeaParty” was trademarked and a website set up by Republican operator. I’m guessing by this time, after the reign of the disaster monkey and McCain’s stumbling, they felt Obama was sure to win, and so the resistance and obstruction to all things Obama began.

At least that's what it looked like, I was following his insanity as it happened on Twitter. He attacked Roberts, then an hour later tweeted an emergency motion that he claimed to have just filed with SCOTUS.

Which law school class is it where they teach you to publicly accuse a judge of murder & pedophilia right before you file an emergency writ of mandamus with that same judge???

Do you think that, just maybe, somebody would have noticed by now that he was a cannibalistic pedophile in his spare time? I guarantee that RBG would have outed him.
