59. Secret things behind the scenes?

What are you talking about?

The investigation, indictment and prosecution of Trump by DOJ is part of the public record, and refutes the claim by you and others that “DOJ did nothing”.

Indeed, my original response to gab was to encourage him to “let go” of his burning, all consuming hatred for Garland, as a form of self care to better prepare for the challenges ahead. Of course, the choice is ultimately his to make. Despite the distressing outcome of Trump’s court-enabled evasion of justice, I carry no such hatred, so there is nothing to “let go” of.

In the meantime, I will continue to defend reality and the facts that contribute to that reality.
