This should chill everyone. Even other conservatives will be targeted by this cabal, if they aren't sufficiently ideological or promoting the "right" ideology. Goebbles would be proud. US should also not be using taxpayer money for partisan activities.

Of course cases fall apart. Purpose is not law enforcement, it's propaganda. The Trump friendly mainstream media reports accusations, but never presents evidence. Trump building his own network of fake news. Straight out of the propaganda playbook. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

I understand your concerns, but they are not the same. Trump is a narcissist, pedophile, grifter, with multiple lost court cases for corruption and sexual assult. To say Platner is the same is outrageous and ridiculous.

Trump: I always favor dictators over democratic leaders, so ALL CAPS insult for Putin killing civilians; no help for Zelensky. But, what’s really important is that you know it wasn’t my fault, because I’m never to blame for anything, even Putin's Trump-enabled brazen behavior now.

Key takeaway. I'm glad Griffen finally conceeded, but not after a handful of judges in NC state courts sided w/him, most often along partisan lines. They always want to throw out votes after the fact, and deny lawful voters their rights often using irrelevant technicalities.
