How exactly do you know that 12/18 "ain't happening", exactly? You really think all the talk of Chinese spying coming out these past few days or the huge software hack that just got exposed, are just coincidental timing?
I mean, the 12/18 date is literally a legal deadline for the DNI to release his report on election interference by foreign parties, it's not some random internet theory.
I don't care one way or another about Israel. They seem able to fight their own battles without needing help from anyone.
I'm just pointing out that it's probably difficult to write a statement on election interference and mention Israel, without also pointing out Obama's own attempts to manipulate elections in Israel. Far easier to avoid the potential controversy that would detract from the overall point, that foreign enemy states have attempted to infiltrate our election system in past elections.
Just add an offer to donate to their PACs and campaigns in 2022. The emails won't go to spam then. Politicians have staff positions practically dedicated to finding those random $5 donation emails in the horde of hatemail and spam.
What did he cover up that wasn't already known from back when Biden was openly bragging about abusing his authority to pressure Ukraine to drop investigations in Burisma, where his son held a phony job? The pedo stuff is new, but hardly shocking given Biden's own sniffing antics, and not really politically usable.
Trump knew about the dirt on Biden. There's whole books that have been written on the Biden crime family, years ago. We got emails and pedo pics from the laptop, but nothing that was really not already known or assumed from Biden's history and his own bragging statements about Ukraine.
And it's not like Trump didn't win the debates anyway, Biden was a weakling in the first debate and went off the rails in the second, attacking Abe Lincoln for being the most racist President and other weird crap.
I guess you could argue that Barr knew things that would've stopped the Impeachment, but why would he want to? The Impeachment hurt the Democrats, it didn't hurt Trump any. Trump gained at least 11 million votes, probably half of them in this year alone.
DNI Report of direct, unambiguous interference in the election by a rival nation (China, Iran, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, Pakistan) would be pretty big, and would put a lot of pressure on legislatures to pick new electors, start allowing proper audits, etc. Can't have China picking our President, after all.
Biggest cyber attack in US history, and you think it's totally normal to not brief the guy who is supposedly taking over in a month?
