You mocked the OP in order to show how clever you think you are Orrex Sep 2021 #87

Your choice F equals Obama and Biden are incompetent or worse. You stand by that? Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2021 #8

You double down. Are Biden, Garland & Obama incompetent or are they worse? Which is it? Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2021 #33

Can you point to any evidence That DOJ is moving on any other criminal investigation? StarfishSaver Sep 2021 #44

So it's your contention that the DOJ never charged a low level person on the outer fringes Scrivener7 Sep 2021 #47
