#16 Thank you for taking the time to read my threads, always grateful for your support of independent journalism paypal.me/sandibachom

If anybody has a better idea why Chris Miller must be subpoenaed and explain why he did it. Kash Patel actually did a film with Epoch Times blaming the Capitol police for what he did.

Chris Miller's name was mentioned in the hearings. do you remember? He's a bat shit crazy conspiracy theorist who tracked down voter fraud in Spain or Venezuela or something, straight up Rudy and QAnon

This is incredible, it's where I was, after they denied the National Guard 12 times
