That Q thing has been one of the funniest and most tragic games played on low-information folks in a long time. A teller of tall tales to garner support, but without ANY factual basis and quite contrary to the obvious facts about the big mistake occupying the WH.

They paint a big hero Superman out to buck the system being thwarted by the Deep State at every turn, which is what is most laughable aspect of it.

If the FBI knew, or suspected, there was Russian interference going on, and they were wanting Trump to win, it makes sense to infiltrate his campaign. Why would that even be an odd thing or a partisan thing to do?

In fact if they didn't, they were shirking their duties. They may have had more knowledge before the last election that could have been released.

that the Russians were targeting his campaign in the summer of 2016. If the Russians had made contact with anybody affiliated with Trump, they were mandated to report those contacts to the FBI. They did not.

I don't think there was anything the FBI did incorrectly in that process.

“The report is also expected to debunk another theory of Trump allies: that the F.B.I. relied on information to open the investigation from a British former spy, Christopher Steele.”

... then the lack of evidence that a conspiracy exists is proof that a conspiracy exists.

and posts a pic or vid of a Trumper relative getting triggered by it, I’ll send them an autographed copy of new book.

Which will be written when I can afford a ghostwriter.

The doj and flynns lawyer asked for a delay to wait for this report. The doj obviously knows what is on it.

Why ask for a delay unless it says something exculpatory?

We know it doesnt have anything incriminating....
