The FBI put a pause on briefings with tech companies due to an ongoing lawsuit, adding to a broader breakdown in a system meant to guard against influence operations and to ensure election integrity.

    Around 2020.

    I think it's long, long past time for Biden to replace Garland with someone that walks loudly and carries a very large stick. Shitclowns are going to scream that they're political witch hunts either way. Fuck the optics, put the traitors where they belong.

      This should have been priority #1 for the Biden admin. For me, the optics of them lallygagging till the next election on prosecuting a traitor makes it appear that it’s just two sides of the same coin. You can not tolerate intolerance. You can not give fascists any lead way. And they did. Completely.

        Giving the Admin the benefit of the doubt, they just weren't expecting the continuation of the insanity. I think Biden has more faith in people wanting to do the right thing than what the GOP and their enablers have proven otherwise. Naive, maybe, or just far too much experience with the "old school" methods of politicking that were thrown out by Trump's cult and are continuing to through the insane "media" and traitorous representatives in Congress.

        But yes, Garland slow-walking the prosecutions should have been a flaming red flag, and maybe it was, and orders to 'get it done' or GTFO prompted the Special Prosecutor appointment that got it back on track, but that might be wishful thinking on my part.
