the money motive is a distraction
he would never admit that he was politically motivated and had discussed it with Kamala, Obama, et al
I agree. He’s trying to come up with excuses now but this was the most poorly conncocted politically motivated stunt. I don’t know if he coordinated it with anyone. Maybe that will come out. But if anyone actually worked on this stupidity with him, they need to be put away. Not only for the criminal aspect, but for being too stupid to live around normal folks.
