Or maybe Fox “News” will offer a tough-question interview with Bondi.

I always try to listen to what she is saying when she is on the TV machine.

She should have been A.G. not Garland.

… sending them to Russia crimes of which for the same crimes we executed 2 people called the
Rosenbergs and another FBI agent Robert Hansen died doing 15 consecutive life terms. But Trump
should have been in prison for multiple other crimes too then a packed Supreme Court protected him
and it then ruled that the 14th amendment article 3 did not say what it exactly said.

Trump should be in the Federal Super Maximum Prison in Colorado but the PTB protected and re-
installed him in order to do their nasty work including the theft of Venezuelan oil.

If McQuade was A.G. there would have been no way that she would have allowed the slow walking
of all the charges against him.

It is no coincidence that on the day that the D. o. J. and the Trump Administration were supposed to
turn over the remaining Epstein documents that Trump invades Venezuela.

Malcom Nance, “Coincidence takes a lot of planning.”

people tend to follow their news of choice. People are the "public" you know. I always think people are being obtuse (Triangular!) when they ignore the obvious to make a point. Are you triangular about this for some reason? What's the point you're trying to prove.... because i'm not seeing it.

"having one's thoughts or attention drawn away" So Yes,I have been distracted from the Epstein files release. What definition were you going by? Are you trying to prove some kind of point?

obtuse:
"difficult to comprehend : not clear or precise in thought or expression"
