But very little action to uncover fraud in the election.

Nice diversion boys. How long has this been going on,
years? It had to be sprung now in deference to all your
more important duties?

The big question is did they investigate the Biden Crime family money mule? Right now I doubt it.

“U.S. law enforcement agencies took action against over 2,300 money mules, far surpassing last year’s effort, which acted against over 600 money mules”

My guess is the number jumped up because there are more “money mules” indicating failure not success.
