Here's what's missing from @cnn's report on the Alexander Smirnov plea deal. 1) The Brady side channel that made his attempt to frame Biden possible that 2) Bill Barr set up 3) So Rudy could share dirt he got from Russian spies 1/2 edition.cnn.com/2024/12/12/p ...

And yet, the "findings" of that BS are still believed to be "true" by the MAGA morons.

Trumpublicans we're so desperate to make Biden somehow look like a criminal because their Dear Leader is such an obvious criminal... and traitor.

They took accusing your opponent of doing what you are actually doing to the extreme.

And yes, the Cult of about a third of voters will always believe the lies they've been told.

So the 2000 mules guy admits his info was based on lies.
An investigation reveals there weren't undercover FBI agents at jan 6th.
And the source for biden's corruption claims was a lying russian asset.

Yet trump's cult will continue to beleive every single one of these lies.

So you all agree the FBI needs to be over hauled.

Because an informant lied? How do you propose overhauling informants?
