> [@nearwildheaven](#): > > When people are accused of multiple crimes, they usually aren’t charged with all of them, to avoid double jeopardy… Eh? That’s not double jeopardy. They’ve most likely charged him for the crimes that they already have rock-solid physical evidence: DNA and/or fingerprints. If they feel they can tie him to all of the bombs he will be charged for each one. ---

[What Fox News watchers have been hearing about George Soros](https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/george-soros-fox-news_us_5bd23871e4b0d38b58819b58) over the past several months. A sampler: > [@](#): > > Oct. 2, “Hannity”: “According now tonight to [FoxNews.com](http://FoxNews.com), many protests like the one you saw are being organized, funded, shockingly, by George Soros and a group he is backing. He’s the extremely wealthy liberal billionaire who wants to take away your Second Amendment rights, and he has a different version of what America should be, obviously.” > [@](#): > > Oct. 3, “Fox & Friends First”: “George Soros is the one slipping anti-Kavanaugh protesters cash to harass. When will the left stop these tactics?” > [@](#): > > Oct. 4, “Fox & Friends First”: “These are not genuine people who care about Doctor Ford or anything else. These are paid activists. This is a George Soros conspiracy, and [it’s time] we wake up and expose them and stand up and fight for our country because that is what is at stake here.” > [@](#): > > Oct. 5, “The Ingraham Angle”: “No secret at this point the protesters at the Capitol are often funded directly or indirectly by some George Soros-affiliated groups. For daring to raise this possibility, Sen. Chuck Grassley was called an anti-Semite.” > [@](#): > > Oct. 6, “Fox & Friends”: “These protesters are paid by George Soros. It is a manufactured protest intended to demonize any [male] in this country.” > [@](#): > > Oct. 8, “America’s Newsroom”: “The whole democratic process now has been taken over by Soros and company" > [@](#): > > Oct. 12, “Hannity”: “The mob rule that you’re seeing on the Democratic side is really just the tip of the iceberg. It’s indicative of a Democratic Party that’s been bought and paid for by the George Soroses of the world who really don’t care about the American system. Who don’t like the way we live and our values and our principles. Those riots or mob actions are coordinated by groups that Soros has funded. They have full-paid staff making sure these things happen. They pay for people to go there. They [distribute] the scripts. They print the signs. They [distribute] the shirts." ETA: It all but screams, “Somebody’s got to STOP him before it’s too late!” And so some nutcase who has taken in all this propaganda and thinks the country desperately needs saving from people like George Soros, bravely steps up to the plate. ---

He discovered a backpack containing three pipe bombs on the park grounds and helped evacuate the area before the bomb exploded, saving many people from injury or death. For months afterward he was suspected of planting the bomb, resultin Initia... I never thought he did it, BTW, although for a while I suspected he knew more than he was saying. ---

Oh, the idiocy of the faux-German being meant seriously is obvious. I just like the idea that it was coined by Archer fans on the internet because that van was rolling probable cause. ---

One has to admire the sheer gall and cunning of the libtards behind these false-flag bombs. The must have cultured Sayoc from an early age, slowly developing this enraged Trumpist character. He built up this false persona over the years, committing crimes and threatening bombings, but never quite doing anything bad enough to spend big time in the Big House. Was his work as a male stripper part of his cover? Or was that his libtard personality showing through? Trump will never suspect so will probably find grounds for pardoning Sayoc soon enough. Sayoc will then spend his remaining years living luxuriously at George Soros’ expense. Most Americans are smarter than Trump and will see through this. Expect a big backlash in the coming election against the libtards for this shameful shenanigan. ---
