You know what I don't understand? If a group of people commit armed robbery and someone is killed during that act, everyone involved in the commission of the robbery (even the getaway driver who never touched a weapon) is charged with the murder of that person. So why is it that everyone involved in the commission of the January 6th Insurrection hasn't been charged with the murder of the fallen police officer, or in the assaults of the 140 or so other police officers who were injured during the commission of the crime?

Hahaha the FBI lead Jan 6th. You're living in a delusion. FBI text messages have been leaked. And the WEF stated McCarthy as the majority leader on their website even though it is Scalise. And they posted this before he was elected as Speaker... it's almost as if sheeple still believe that their politics are real and that there aren't any false flags, propaganda, or controlled opposition. Must be nice being so damn ignorant. You're a pawn for Klaus and the WEF. You actually believe the mainstream media narrative. You're disconnected from reality.

Well yes because they've had more practice than we have with coup attempts. And maybe Lulu talked to Joe and he said, "Don't let them get away with it like we did here.
