It will be interesting to hear why Riley June Williams planned to sell Pelosi's laptop to the

Russians. Why Russia rather than some other foreign country, or even selling it to Trump? It was all about making Trump emperor wasn't it? Was there some reason to think Russia was particularly interested in helping Trump illegally? As in having done so before?

I've seen right-wingers say if it was Russia in 2016, thank you Russia! They know. At least a lot of them do, but they will deny it until their dying breath.

They don’t mind white supremacist Russia, they get a little jealous and tingly from all the daddy authoritarianism.

like ashli babbitt was. I want to see these racist militias and groups like the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys dealt with. And the Q creeps in Congress.

acting out their spite, voting their spite. Look at all the Hillary hate. Those amped up goofballs tried to dress that up as patriotism, demonizing her to whatever degree their self images required. Strange patriotism.

lately, but that's about the dumbest thing that little, nerdy-looking woman could've done, I mean after participating in storming the Capitol, sedition, insurrection and all.

WTH was she thinking? Like that wasn't going to get out.

Mass insanity took over all those idiots that day, and of course white supremacy and all trying negate hundreds of thousands of black votes.

Oh, well. Too bad, so sad, so unhirable, especially after doing their prison bit.

I expect that there are many Russian agents posting in the Q-Anon forums. It's interesting that this young woman just happens to have a Russian friend that she believed would be willing or able to take the laptop to Russian Intelligence services. It probably fell through because the Russians realized it wasn't Pelosi's laptop so it wasn't that valuable.
