40. Still not attempted murder.

Thu Jun 9, 2022, 01:20 PM

Jun 2022

I’ll be very curious to see who pays this guy’s legal bills.

Did some right-wing dark money group engineer this incident? The timing is suspect.

In a country that hasn’t seen any real organized leftist violence in many decades there is suddenly a pro-Roe v Wade zealot outside Kavanaugh’s house. Who when detained confesses to wanting to assassinate the Dishonorable Brett Kavanaugh.

Right before the Jan 6th televised hearings?

I’d like to hear a lot more details.

Doesn’t pass the sniff test.
