    You don't know that.
    I did? That might be news to me. It also might be news that I think trump is crazy; I've called him many

    I'm not sure crazy is the same thing. Nevertheless his public persona lives in the past hence my reference to "seems."

    This might be a touch awkward.

    On June 7, 2017, President Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate Wray to be the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, replacing James Comey, who was dismissed by Trump on May 9, 2017.[25] Trump interviewed Wray for the vacant FBI Director job on May 30, 2017...

    I think all of us can agree that Wray is working at Biden/Schumer/Pelosi's direction, and has from the get-go.

    Biden is too stupid for such games, and I don't think Pelosi is smart enough either. Schumer definitely is, and he learned from the infamous Harry Reid who loved such nefarious intrigue.

    I don't think Garland is pulling his strings because there would have been movement on Hunter's glaring sins prior to 2021 and there never was. That means Wray is working for a top Democrat since 2017 and directed to bury a case or go after someone.

    No, the FBI is a sham and it needs to be completely dismantled. It's too corrupt to save.

    The tenuous grip on reality belongs to the brainwash masses. Educated to be that way, I go. I have a firm grip on reality. Trump is not the creature the swamp have made him to be. Those vermin hate him because he does not bow at their feet.

    I'm sure that goes all the way back to his appointment by Bush II and his membership in the Federalist Society.

    I wasn't thinking about any "Trump cult". I'm thinking more along the lines: if the process is flawed, we STILL have nothing. The left is using the process, and the law-abiding citizens are waiting for it to work, against the People as it does what it wants. The Dems don't care about the process except how to exploit it. Same with the MSM.

    When the enemy is using our rules against you to destroy those rules, time for a new set of rules, even if (and should be) temporary.

    As things are going now, it's going to culminate in war. The right is letting this go to the point that it will have no other choice if it intends to survive.

    They're doing all this shit without explanation, and don't care. I'm STILL waiting on that to sink in.

    I guess a couple of crazy ideas; either trump held stuff back in violation of Federal law or he didn't and the FBI has a bad informant (if Newsweek is to be believed).

    Here's my craziest idea; that trump is deliberately tweaking the powers-that-be to goad them into completely lawful, required actions that only feed his petulance.

    You heard it here first.
