Sad news, friends! It looks like another God-fearing Republican has been cruelly targeted by the Biden FBI for telling one or two teensy little fibs — ALLEGEDLY — to mean FBI agents. Or so say Nebraska Rep. Jeff Fortenberry and his wife, who hopped on the internet last night to get their story out before the Justice Department could release the indictment they warn will be coming as soon as today.

(Look for that to drop thirty seconds after this story is published. Isn't that always the way!)

"Dear Friend," begins the open letter where Celeste Fortenberry tells her husband's tale of woe. "Jeff and I have two pieces of news to share with you. One very bad, one very good. The bad news is something we never thought we'd have to endure. You've been a friend and supporter for so long, and you deserve to hear it from us firsthand. Jeff and I made a short video so you could hear from him directly."

What follows is an impressively shameless display of self pity from a guy trying to wrap himself in God, the flag, and apple pie before the Justice Department can get a word in. The man is literally "out for a drive in my 1963 Ford F100 pickup truck," parked in a corn field with his wife and his dog asking Americans to pray for him. And we might even have fallen for it (just kidding, no we wouldn't), if we hadn't already written about this pissant whiner losing his shit over a defaced billboard calling him Jeff Fartenberry and trying to get a University of Nebraska-Lincoln political science professor fired for liking a Facebook post about it.
