    The “evidence” is literally just a meeting between white house staffers and Special Counsel staffers, months before Trump was indicted. The article goes over the actual purpose of the meeting, but like even in the most dastardly interpretation what’s the complaint? That the White House “knew” about the investigation? Everyone knew about the investigation!

    And there’s no reason a meeting proves anyone approved or disapproved anything, but I think I’m safe in saying Biden approves of the prosecution, you don’t need to meet with some low level staffers of his to find that out.

      Meetings are always nefarious, deal with corruption or treason, are generally are an attempt to collude with foreign bad actors. Ask Trump about his perfect meeting with the Russians.

    All projection. Trump would repeatedly meet with Barr and others in the justice department trying to force them to launch politically motivated cases against his enemies and to interfere with the elections. This evidence is all out in the open now, though I mean Trump never really tried to hide that he was weaponizing the justice department or other departments for political purposes. Now they have to make random false or unsubstantiated accusations of Biden doing that to make it seem like that’s just something everyone does and not a crazy departure from norms.

    Remember when everyone was freaking out over Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton talking on an airport tarmac briefly? And then in the Trump years he was repeatedly meeting with his attorney general and threatening to fire him if he didn’t launch the cases he wanted or interfere in elections and help with the coup. And Republicans all just pretend that’s fine now.

      I think it’s more 1D checkers than that. They did that shit all the time, because that’s how they think it’s supposed to be, so of course everyone else must think and do the same.

        I’m telling you, all that Q shit is real. There’s a pizza shop basement somewhere in DC where repubs rape and torture kids.

      Yeah there are checks and balances in the legal system, even Biden himself couldn’t just decide that Trump needed to be arrested. A Grand Jury had to review and approve the evidence the Special Counsel had, and a regular jury decides if it’s enough to convict and sentence.

        This is Trump thinking the Biden did something Trump was told Trump couldn’t do.

    If trump claimed it, it is by default- untrue. I don’t know why anyone bothers to fact check his ass. It’s ALL lies.

    two groups of people working in the same branch of government having a meeting does sound pretty bad tbh, should probably have Jim Jordan get on that.
