    Tell me if you’ve seen this one before: In a presidential campaign season, a Republican operative in an official capacity releases a damning statement parroting sensationalist right-wing accusations couched in an investigation that nonetheless leads to no charges, preventing the target from even defending themselves.

    Biden just got the James Comey treatment. The Deep State exists and it is republican.
