IOW, Wyden is threatening the FBI.
Nothing political about that! </MSM, Hollywood, Deep State, etc.>
Not all. Just the nice ones.
Apparently Wyden is not worried about the effect on the Rule of Law that allowing coup plotters off Scot Free will have on the republic.
ARREST HIM.
Biden corruption doesnt seem to bother the liberals, but Americans looking into Biden corruption does.
The world has gone mad.
.. would have dangerous consequences...
IOW, it would expose the fraud of the Russian Collusion hoax.
Drop the Chalupa!
(I’m surprised nobody said that before I did.)
Do they have something to hide?
Ron Wyden, you’re full of used food!

Interesting. The Dims are pulling the same garbage with the “Burisma hack”, too. Their playbook is so transparent.
OK...I recognize Chalupa, but who is the bald headed woman???
