ut the superdelegates decided they just give it to Hillary Clinton instead. That's the actual real thing that happened while we were all watching. Now the rules allow that because they have these things called superdelegates that can just overrule the regular people. But if you have superdelegates, then the actual primary is just for show because the superdelegates will decide who the candidate is…

rainians killed, maybe the same number of Russians killed. And that the people involved are pretending that this is about something else, National Defense and NATO and all that. But really it's about who gets to produce the oil and the gas and collect the checks. And Burisma apparently was key, central to the whole plan of the US controlling Ukraine. And they would boost Burisma to be the main energy company that we would control. And that was why Hunter was part of it. So Hunter then, under this telling, would be an important part of the CIA's mission. And probably there was never any chance he could have gone to jail, whether Biden had pardoned him or not. If he was working for the CIA, I'm pretty sure they would have found some way that he wasn't going to go to jail because it does look like he was genuinely working for the CIA. Now he was also trying to line his own pockets, and the CIA probably knew that the Biden crime family was a perfect fit for their plans. But yeah, I don't think there was any chance he was ever going to go to jail. So you have to just listen to those. It's the most mind-blowing thing you'll hear.

According to the Amuse account on X, Trump made a big mistake by agreeing to let the FBI vet his appointees. Now vetting means checking their background, and that does give the FBI the ability to say or not say things that they find, which gives the FBI a lot of control over whether the nominees go forward. Do you think that that feels comfortable to you? The FBI, the very entity that will be most targeted by his nominees, are going to be the ones who tell you who the nominee can be. What? I don't know how that possibly works. So I'll keep an eye on that. But I agree with the Amuse account that that doesn't look good.

Let's see. According to, speaking of Kash Patel, he noted on a recent video I saw that the January 6 committee, when they took his deposition, he put five government reports into his testimony. And then when he saw what they had later, they had eliminated them. Two of the documents were exonerating, would have exonerated Trump because they involved Mayor Bowser and Pelosi and what they were saying about the National Guard. And basically you can see that Trump always wanted the National Guard. Trump always wanted peace. No indication that he wanted trouble. In fact, he wanted the opposite. He wanted peace and he wanted to make sure there was enough security. And that Bowser and Pelosi may have not b

een on the same page, meaning it was more their fault than his. And this is why I think all the January 6ers need to be pardoned without regard to how bad their crimes were. Because if you don't know that the government was behind instigating the trouble, and this clearly indicates that there were two people who could have increased the security to the point where nobody got hurt or fewer people g…
