16. Garland is still our top cop,

Mon Dec 23, 2024, 05:05 PM

Monday

and I have zero proof about this but something smelly is going on at DOJ. It usually takes 3 months to sentence someone and Smirnov wants to be sentenced in less than 30 days.

I am saying that Musk/Trump are working out the best logistics for him to pardon a Russian mole FBI informant.

Marcy Wheeler is claiming that what Hunter and Smirnov did should have gotten similar sentences, that is a joke. So when Smirnov is sentenced while Joe is still president once Trump takes over he will quickly claim that the Biden justice department overreached in its sentencing so then Trump will have an excuse to pardon a Russian mole.

Maybe Garland is clueless as to what is going on?

Bookmark this post, if I am wrong and Trump does not pardon or commute Smirnov's sentence, I will own up to it.
