That’s turning out to be true, that they were set up.
But…
About an hour ago we were listening in the car to batcrap crazy Steven Miller on CNN.
He was asked about that, the host asked about the undocumented immigrant who was a victim of a crime that was falsely accused.
Miller made a huge deal about undocumented vs illegal immigrant.
He eventually said if the person was illegal who cares if they were falsely accused.
He tried hard to explain that the courts are not equal to the President, the President has absolute authority and it’s destroying democracy every time they interfere with what President is doing.
He’s a real piece of work.
