How? Why are there still so many unanswered questions please? Such as… the obvious ones regarding that hammer business: why are we not being shown the police video? And why do we still have so many unanswered questions about the guy who appears to have led the Jan 6 riot on the capitol, Ray Epps? Where is he, and why can’t the FBI find him? Reporters seem to be able to find him. Mainstream news isn’t asking those kinds of questions Dave. If Twitter echoes questions, well OK then, let them echo until we get some answers.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>spike<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
