Is the entire far-right comprised of grifters and...for lake of a better term....griftees? I guess a fair few of them are criminals too.

I'm sure there are plenty of them on the left too, but what all the concern trolls and honest idiots are missing is that democrats actually produce evidence and valid legal charges.

Please conservatives, I want to get rid of corrupt officials on either side. If you have some evidence then use it in the court of law!

And if you don't have it, get off your ass and do some real investigative journalism and find it.

Sure, until they start getting protested, at which point they lock your ass up and let the corrupt conservatives YOU TALK ABOUT THEM FIGHTING press RICO charges to turn you into a long-term federally-instituted carceral slave. Your slavemasters are not any better than theirs, please knock that shit off.

Let me know when they charge Biden with genocide and other crimes against humanity.

They'll likely scrap it for parts and reassign people to whatever new anti-China media channels they come up with.

It's very telling that this got dropped after Trump's case.

Huh. Surprised they cracked down on them, I would've thought this is chump change to the feds and they would just let it slide.

Only surprising thing about it is that he got actually charged, maybe his handlers tired of him or he stopped being useful.

Probably way more than the 67 million, and this guy just got the scapegoat job. The fact that they didn't even give him their lawyers on retainer initially and he was assigned a public defender is both hilarious and very telling.

I can't imagine there is a single person at Epoch Times that is innocent. Maybe the janitors.

Somebody didn't pay the toll. Seriously tho, that's the only explanation I can think of for why the US would do this to their falun gong cult pet, but leave scientology and a hundred other massive grifting cults alone.
