    All projection. Trump would repeatedly meet with Barr and others in the justice department trying to force them to launch politically motivated cases against his enemies and to interfere with the elections. This evidence is all out in the open now, though I mean Trump never really tried to hide that he was weaponizing the justice department or other departments for political purposes. Now they have to make random false or unsubstantiated accusations of Biden doing that to make it seem like that’s just something everyone does and not a crazy departure from norms.

    Remember when everyone was freaking out over Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton talking on an airport tarmac briefly? And then in the Trump years he was repeatedly meeting with his attorney general and threatening to fire him if he didn’t launch the cases he wanted or interfere in elections and help with the coup. And Republicans all just pretend that’s fine now.

      I think it’s more 1D checkers than that. They did that shit all the time, because that’s how they think it’s supposed to be, so of course everyone else must think and do the same.

        I’m telling you, all that Q shit is real. There’s a pizza shop basement somewhere in DC where repubs rape and torture kids.
