Don't worry guys they're "using every tool at their disposable".

"We absolutely will persecute you"

Hmm she speaks the truth. That was unexpected.

Honestly,I didn't see reason to continue watching. It was too painful.

Trump's obsession over who vetted the dude is idiotic to begin with. Who cares? Vetting isn't a perfect process, and as long as there's no pattern (not that this situation was indicative of issues with the vetting process anyway), then being fallible is usually forgivable.

Instead, they're turning this from a relatively minor headline to a massive failure somehow of the Trump administration.

It is idiotic, but that's the point. They pin everything on Biden, even when it's indisputably their own fault (insofar as govt failure is concerned).

What's idiotic is it makes Trump look worse because this supposed failure was his own.

Saying nothing would have resulted in this being a 24hr headline instead.

And if only Biden would have dropped it, it would have blown over. Damn that Biden!

Everything is Biden’s fault it’s obvious! He just can’t move on that he lost the 2020 election.
