The Department of Justice is reportedly investigating multiple people with ties to Russian state media, weeks after federal officials warned that the Kremlin is attempting to influence the upcoming presidential election through the media.

The FBI has searched multiple individuals this month as part of the probe, including former U.N. weapons inspector and U.S. foreign policy critic Scott Ritter, and foreign policy commentator Dimitri Simes, US officials briefed on the investigation told The New York Times.

    Do you know how I know these accusations and rulings is [sic] bullshit? Because everyone involved in Epstein Island haven’t gotten in any trouble [sic].

    Complete non-sequitur. I don’t think I have ever seen someone attempt such an absurd and fallacious argument in real life…

    “Do you know how I know that OJ didn’t do it? Because they let Bill Cosby out of prison.”

    That argument is just as coherent as yours.

      Did OJ or Bill Cosby ever challenge the establishment? No they didn’t. Since you use there two as examples, it tells me you don’t understand the premise of my statement. So I get that you struggle to understand the argument.

        Please read a book about logic.

        Or at the very least, learn the basics of how to formulate a cogent argument, because yikes. I don’t know how to argue with such incompetence besides just telling you that the things you’re saying are just literal nonsense. Like not even close to being a coherent thought, let alone a cogent argument.

        Do better.

          Ok, then I will try ELI5 on you. You see, every person involved with raping children at Epstein Island hasn’t been touched. These people are well connected and powerful, and working in synchronisation with the establishment. In many cases they are the establishment. If there was any interest in justice, then at least one person, would be punished, but none has gotten any form of punishment. Therefore there is no interest in justice when you have to go against the establishment in order to archive this justice. On the con­trary to this; if you are an anti-establishment person, they will go after you by any means necessary. And if you believe that don’t include planting evidence, I got a bridge to sell you.

          This is as easy as I can explain it. You can disagree all you like.
