[23:23:28] <exec> 08└─C'mon - even many Trumpers openly admit that Trump is anything but clean. He's been playing dirty his whole life - that's what a lot of his voters love about him! Do you really think that it's not at all suspicious that Trump has had multiple meetings with Putin where he has gone well out of his way...

A few years ago, it was acceptable to have some doubt. Now? People need to be jailed. It's not acceptable to have the FBI do what they did.

They have a consumer hardware device, that has a restrictive (more so than even the Apple app store) "app store" that they control.
