    Following their success rigging in 2016? So is the claim tht 2016 was rigged to benefit Trump?

    Except that’s not what the quote said. It said rigging the election.

    I'm not familiar with the definition of "rigged". does it always connote Success?

    Yes when you say it was successful. The language in that quote was pretty plain.
    “following their success in rigging 2016 and 2020,”

    That’s KT Macfarland saying so as retweeted.

    This is another example of the ludicrousness of this position that the DOJ and FBI are rigging things against Trump. You can’t even acknowledge an incongruity in an argument being made to support that contention.
    And that’s not the only or even the most important incongruity.

    “Meddled” isn’t plain language as it’s subjective. Were they involved yes as they were openly investigating Clinton in 2016 and Comey famously announced the state of the investigation only days before the election which most people think did have an effect on the election.

    In 2020 there were investigations of both Biden’s family and the Durham investigation was already going during the election. Note the investigation into Trump ties to Russia had largely been closed after Mueller. While there was a lot of smoke regarding Hunter Biden I don’t think it had much of any effect on the election.

    Should we have new FBI agents swear an oath to the Republican Party, God, and the Constitution, in that order?

    No. You are either and idiot or are just reciting talking points from a Trump rally that fall apart after 2 seconds of research on the facts. You repeating lies does not ultimately make it true if you say it enough.

    The FBI launched an investigation before the Dossier. That has been established in nearly every investigation done from the IG, to Mueller, to even Durham himself who states that fact and then post an op Ed that even then the FBI shouldn’t have opened an investigation because of feels…

    So please stop either lying or get your brain checked.

    Only 300 facing charges? Should have been thousands. Oh I have rested already. BS two tier justice system that we have now thanks to your deep state. I hope you do know the difference between an arrest and a prosecution? How many of the BLM terrorists were let go? And how many of the Jan 6th protesters got put away and are languishing in prisons now? Like Joey B used to say " come on man".
