Wanna bet?
my money is on Trump - to be in the right
the FBI/DOJ doing the screwing up.
Given that I am convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that Biden, the DOJ and the FBI are corrupt, I have to bet on Trump as the truth generally wins out.
They actually got the idea when that treasonous prick Barr called it a “a raid on a Country Club” instead of Trump’s home.

Wonder who gave that order Moe.

Agree
I think there’s a bi “O” at the beginning of the name of the evil mastermind. He’s always been a petty, conniving little queer.
