turns out the GOP is pushing for it. from the article... "As vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee and then-ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, respectively, both of which oversee the FBI, Rubio and Grassley were both in a position to influence bureau leadership, and it appears the bureau listened."
I mean no they didn't, the writer just comes to that conclusion even after the data and their own reference expert says nothing to the effect.
Yea you keep telling everyone that, because it sounds like you don't have a ton of solid evidence, of which you contradict your own source.
So did Rubio influence it or the right wing media....I mean he's the expert they're using for their info and then coming to a different conclusion.
Yes all this info and the writer comes up with 2 republicans who one of which sits on the Senate Intel committee...the other on the judiciary committee...what they don't want to tell you is that Warner a Democrat holds the chair, and that the republicans on that committee are not driving the agenda...again it's bidens FBI... what's more interesting is that the uptick is from 3 to 28 cases....not 50-100 to 1k....no 3 to 28...take it however you want, but this article is bullshit scare tactics designed to stroke egos of prochoice Dems. (I'm prochoice btw)
