support the will of the american people and keep a delusional, egocentric megalomaniac in power. for some trump loyalists who continue to believe and spread the big lie, the 2020 elections have never ended. unfortunately for them, the justice department has a very active investigation ongoing. it regards donald trump s coup, and in recent weeks, the justice department has issued about 40 subpoenas to current and former trump associates, ranging from low level aides to high ranking senior members of the trump administration. they are seeking a vast trove of information, including communications among more than 100 people, suggesting that the doj is conducting a massive and intensifying criminal investigation. that investigation isn t just about one thing, either. rather, it s about a complex web of transgressions, including criminal activity involving the multitude of people. it involves the fake elector scheme to deny the joe biden won the election and half a dozen states. it

President wants it tied to raising the debt ceiling. If congress proepts the money but i dont have the ability to borrow more money and pay for it, were not going to be able to get that money to the state. And we expect a decision this morning on what to do about the d. R. E. A. M.

Clinton campaign, dnc funded dossier, fbi cannot after all of this time verify claims of dossier of russia collusion. Fbi tainted. Each of those claims is either false or distorted. The president appears to have been quotes jason chaffetz. Dossier we have long known is bogus. The question is, how was it funded. And that question has not been answered yet. The second part is, did they use it to go to a court and get that court then to allow them to spy on americans . And if that
