It is being reported that one of President Biden's coronavirus advisors stated that:

“Dr. Birx told him she hoped Trump would lose the election.”

My question is..why didn’t Dr. Birx speak up about all the false information Trump was spreading when she was on his taskforce?

Missed this superseding indictment on Broidy and Jho Low yesterday.

Funny how no one in the Republican Party mentions that their former Finance Chair ran a massive, illegal lobbying scheme for China.

To kill a transnational organized crime investigation.

Feds ask for hearing to stop request by Troy Smocks to dismiss his Jan 6 case, due to indictment delay

Replying to @MacFarlaneNews
Pennsylvania Parole Board had lodged a detainer against Samsel. Per court "the defendant would remain incarcerated pursuant to the Pennsylvania detainer until at least April 24, 2022." (which allows time to dispose of Jan 6 case)

But look at what judge said (more thread) ==>

Scott MacFarlane
@MacFarlaneNews
Judge:

"Defendant’s lengthy history of assaultive conduct, and the risk that the Defendant will use violence against the democratic process in general or certain individuals in particular, all weigh in favor of his detention"

Threat to *democratic process* (Powerful words)

Powerful pair of images of January 6th in the latest set of charging documents!

Prosecutors say that's Brian Mock of Minnesota knocking over a Capitol officer & busting the officer's elbow

Before riot, feds say Mock posed at WWII Memorial

I mean... these pictures side-by-side
