I fully expect to die from a fire or a MAGA within the year.

5. They hid the organized 5-10% behind the rabble, just as authoritarians and terrorists

do all over the world. That's not AT ALL an unknown phenomenon. To, you know, counterterrorism and law enforcement types -- like the FBI supposedly is.

And the FBI leadership looks at the situation and decides, "yeah, we can embrace/promote the narrative of the disorganized yahoos who made up the 90-95%" because either a) they are sympathetic to 5-10%, or b) it provides cover for their incompetence/failure.

He and Kavanaugh were members of the right-wing Federalist Society.

He and Kavanaugh worked together in the G.W. Bush administration.

He led the Kavanaugh investigation, and ignored 4,500 tips to make Brett a SCOTUS justice.

Why is Christopher Wray still FBI director, @POTUS?

Why is he still FBI director? Can't Biden replace him with someone who is not a tRump suckup?

...he was interested in chaos that would possibly delay and definitely tarnish Biden's election. Didn't need to be organized.

The FBI said nothing. So easy to get people to believe, even though the article is there for everyone to read. But then, even if they read it they don't notice it is completely unsourced

..will come around--I've lived long enough to see that happen. Yet, there is that Spanish proverb/dicho, "mala hierbas nunca muere," [bad weeds never die: bad, evil people never die.]

Pero, la verdad es is that we all have an expiration date, yet have you noticed that when a bad, evil, corrupt, greedy odious person does die an even worse human being seems to fill that dark place--evil just IS.

Paz.
