Feb 2021

they will be repeating lies.

I heard tRumps lawyers want to equate BLM protests in the Summer to Jan 6th. Or will they try to keep tRump out of inciting and say it was the mob??? I heard that Lindsey was saying Capitol Police should have used deadly force on the mob....duh, how could they have done that if help was being held back??

I maybe all off on this, but could the RICO Act be used on the Sedition Caucus?
