    So all these senators who have been in office since the Magna Carta was signed are all going to feign ignorance on this subject?

      They held hearings to go over the evidence. They all know what’s going on, in detail. It’s just that all the Republicans and a handful of the Democrats are paid off to pretend otherwise.

      My gut on it is that a 2nd-term Biden administration could be pressured into actually launching a prosecution. It’s on us to create a situation where that happens.

          Yep. The election is really close

          All the noise notwithstanding, we see a pretty clear pattern. It’s a tie race in the Blue Wall states. If Biden wins the Blue Wall states he wins but literally with no margin for error — 270-268. You really want — although perhaps you do not technically “need” — to add at least one of the southern tier states of Arizona, Nevada and Georgia. That’s where the race is.

          This means that very modest effort by Americans here, in the form of not just voting, but volunteering and donating has the potential to push things one way or the other.
