This video blows the whole Antifa scheme wide open. Check the comments — they have proof that not only did he have a scanner capable of blacking out police communications, but the fall and “injury” were staged; he had a fake bag of blood in his ear.

There is something seriously mentally wrong with many of the commentators on that youtube video. (redundant, I know)

These are probably the same folks who ask questions online like “Where do babby come from?”  
Or  
“I swallowed an ice cube and I think it’s stuck because it hasn’t come out yet”

or

“Is a egg a fruit or a vegable?”

AND THESE STUPID FUCKERS VOTE!

Okay, normally there is no fucking way I would click on that link, but after seeing a couple quick endorsements I had to. It’s brilliant.

I normally don’t even post in the Pit, but damn, that was funny.

Called it first. But as Og as my witness, I really didn’t think they would do that…And yes, I should no better than that by now.

Pres on.

What I do, is try to imagine the most stupid, shittiest thing that the Trump administration could do, the thing that would fuck things up the most… and then double it.

This is usually what ends up happening.  
For his entire life, everything Trump touches turns to shit. This pattern is there for a reason.

[‘Everything about this is irregular’: Ex-judge tapped to review Flynn case blasts Trump DOJ](https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/10/gleeson-flynn-sullivan-barr-justice-department-311018)

_The retired judge, John Gleeson, said the Justice Department had improperly bowed to the president’s will._

> [@](#):
>
> A former judge selected to advise on a path forward in the criminal case against Michael Flynn is accusing the Justice Department of distorting the justice system to protect an ally of President Donald Trump by attempting to shut down the prosecution.
> 
> The former federal judge, John Gleeson, is recommending that the judge handling the case instead proceed to sentence the former Trump national security adviser on the false-statement charge he admitted to two-and-a-half years ago.
> 
> “The facts surrounding the filing of the Government’s motion constitute clear evidence of gross prosecutorial abuse. They reveal an unconvincing effort to disguise as legitimate a decision to dismiss that is based solely on the fact that Flynn is a political ally of President Trump,” Gleeson wrote in a filing Wednesday with Washington-based U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan, who formally tapped Gleeson to weigh in as a friend of the court.

So, hopefully, Flynn will be a rat that can’t escape the sinking S.S. Trump. But, what are the chances Trump pardons him and a slew of others before he leaves office?

100%. Flynn won’t see another day in a jail cell. IF the judge enforces the earlier plea, Trump will have the pardon signed within minutes.
