So, not only was she above the law, she felt she was above the US government's intelligence department as well. She's put national security at risk and we all fucking paid for Biden making an appeal to black voters. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) The majority of what you said also applies to Whelan.

Get the fuck over it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] chakan2@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago That's correct...I think they should both rot in prison...but only one was let go.
