8. The FBI informant, Smirrnov, pleaded guilty.

Monday

Now there is a rush to get him sentenced January 8th, I believe. Smirnov has dirt on everyone, including Congressional Magats.

Something is rotten in Denmark with the push for an early sentence. Marcy Wheeler is laughingly calling what Smirnov did and what Hunter did to be similar, give me a fucking break.

Musk/Trump may want to get Smirnov sentenced during Joe's presidency and that will give Trump an excuse to pardon a Putin stooge. Trump will claim, as Marcy has claimed, that Smirnov got too stiff of a sentence. Smirnov won't have to worry about going near windows in high buildings.

If Biden felt it was such a mistake to pick Garland, why didn't he fire him a couple of years ago? TheRickles Monday #17
