SIMPLE question: Who’s “the big guy” getting a 10% laundered cut from what’s being prosecuted by IRS (now DOJ takeover) for FARA and Tax evasion?

@michaelcanestraro2849

Lock him up! And Mr. Big too.

@Dwade689

Hunter’s paintings are over valued, seize his property now!

Hunter not paying taxes sounds like Al Capone not paying taxes.

@leelec1

They're biding their time until ' the big guy ' exits the arena.

@Simo-nk1oq

Most Americans agree that establishment RINOs should be called out for playing nice with progressive Democrats.

@Genci0
