Time for people on both sides to switch their position on "innocent until proven guilty" and "an indictment is not proof of guilt".
Given the mountain of undeniable evidence that appears to be necessary to indict a Democrat vs. the novel legal theories and "sources familiar with the matter" allowed to indict Trump allies ... I don't really blame people for their "hypocrisy".
Possible. Or maybe he offended the regime in some way. I have no particular affinity for Menendez, but I did notice that his first indictment was thrown out and that it was brought by none other than our great friend Jack Smith.
RFK is also a Democrat. I don't think it'll require a mountain of evidence to indict him.
EDIT: I'm not arguing that this is the case, or that it's even likely. Menendez is a neocon after all, though he did back Armenia against Azerbaijan. Only saying that I don't trust the regime even when it's "bearing gifts".
In RFK's case, they already tried to shoot him.
I'm not sure that was the regime. It'd look rather bad for them if yet another Kennedy was assassinated in suspicious circumstances.
Apparently a couple days ago he criticized the new Iran deal where we sent them more pallets of money.
And I only specified Democrat in this case because as far as I can tell there are 0 in power that aren't fully on-board with the establishment regime. I'm no fan of Republicans but at least a few manage to be elected that aren't completely bought (yet).
As with the Russell Brand thing, they probably didn't decide on releasing this on such a short time horizon (it takes a lot of preparation), at the very least they had something ready for blackmail.
Agreed, and they got smeared by the DOJ for their pains (Gaetz).
Antonio, I don't think you get it.
My enemy is indicted--guilty, throw away the key.
My friend is indicted, tried, found guilty--it's bullshit, the system is against him, he's innocent.
(I mean, either can be true, but as a general rule, this is how people pretty much operate...)
