All the info on Loopy Nancy Pelosi turning down 10,000 troopers that I provided to to protect the Capitol Constructing, and past, is gone. The ridiculous Deranged Jack Smith case on Immunity, which probably the most revered authorized minds within the Nation say I’m absolutely entitled to, is now fully compromised and ought to be thrown out and terminated, JUST LIKE THE RADICAL LEFT LUNATICS DID TO THE EVIDENCE!
