    Seems like there are so many things that would have been great to have settled last year now being settled now.

    Like this guy who lied about the Bidens. The report about trump that’s being haggled over this week.

    We could have really used this information LAST YEAR. Not saying it’d changed the outcome, but it wouldn’t have hurt.

      Justice moves slowly (except when it doesn’t of course).

      If that was possible it would’ve happened.

        It was possible for the FBI to release a statement about Hillary’s emails a month before the election back in 2016.

        Why isn’t it possible to release stuff in a rush now.

          The FBI making a statement is not the same as settling a court case to convict an informant for planting evidence.

          I’m surprised that needs to be said.

              I’ve seen it take years to get sentenced after conviction. The 6 months in this case isn’t an unusual amount of time.

    “FBI informant who planted misinformation about Joe and Hunter Biden gets 6 weeks prison and awaits his immediate pardon and medal of honor.”

    Fixed the incorrect headline.

      Maybe. Trump’s extremely capricious. His best best is if someone tells Trump it would trigger the libs or something.

        He might do it if the right person told him it would make him $100.
