That's a weird thing to say.

Anyway, whenever someone leans on the accusation of "conspiracy theory!" as a defense, I tend to tune them out.

But here's the bottom line: after 4 years, garland's doj did not successfully prosecute the most flagrant crime in U.S. history (that we all watched live on tv).

And yes, the current supreme court sucks, we all know that, and we all know the Smith report (if we ever see it) will be meaningless since garland's doj did not successfully prosecute the most flagrant crime in U.S. history that we all watched happening live on tv .

She is right about one thing, once garland is out (unless trump decides to just keep him), he won't matter in the least anymore.
