He thinks the announcement of an investigation will be enough.

arrest or IMPLY guilt of Joe or his son or other high profile democrats, should have been heard, eh!

Oh yeah, I know Barr hasnt done it yet, but the ONLY reason is he doesnt have a good enough lie crafted yet.

Will he do it? Who wants to say to me "Oh no, that is a line he wouldnt cross"

be taken by surprise.

I have predicted many many of the things that have happened, in almost every case i was screamed at for doing so, and sure most of them come true but I am not special or unusually smart, I just do a simple thing, I predict the WORST possible thing they or he can do, and I prepare for that.

And each time I hear "oh no, they wont go that far" or some iteration of that. sigh

And as I said before, it could be ANY High profile democrat linked to Obama or Joe...so far it looks like Barr TRIED To do this, we all agree on that, but Durham would not give him what he needed to craft a LIE...

That's like saying Trump will nuke California the day before the election. Just saying it in the context of what lengths they'll go to win doesn't make it any less crazy.

I am the crazy one?

That Barr would do that if he could find any thing to misconstrue to arrest a high profile Democrat?

What?



Jesus christ...

Why do you think BARR commissioned this report for in the first place?

To try and arrest any high profile Democrat...that he could twist a lie about.

That is the ONLY reason he did this.


OK so I am Qanon for suggesting it, am I Qanon if I suggest he would TWIST information he was FISHING for, the ONLY reason for the Durham report in the first place, to arrest Susan Rice? or any other high profile Democrat, is that also something that there is no way that fucking traitor Barr wouldnt do?

I'm done with this conversion.

People wonder how the right is so susceptible to conspiracy thinking? Well here you go. Right here. It's lunacy to believe Barr is going to arrest Biden. If you believe that, please, and I mean this as nicely as possible, seek help before you fall completely down the rabbit hole like so many of those lost souls who fell victim to QAnon.

I PROVE to you what everyone knows that Barr is using the DOJ to try and fabricate something to go after our leaders, trump himself publicly ORDERS Barr to ARREST JOE and you tell me I am the nut.

I am the nut for suggesting the REASON there was a Durham report was specifically so Barr could twist something to ARREST Obama administration officials.

Joe was one, others etc. OF COURSE Barr would do this if he thought he could get away with it

IT IS WHY HE ORDERED THE INVESTIGATION IN THE FIRST PLACE
