No, I don't trust anything this despotic regime says. Why do you consider this regime more "despotic" than Trump's, Obama's or Bush II's? Because this appears to clearly be the kind of "show me the man and I'll show you the crime" situation that did not occur during Trump's Administration. Obama was despotic for openly declaring critics in the press political enemies and then using the Espionage Act to use the power of government against them more than all other Presidents combined. Whatever you want to hold against Trump...he dealt with his critics face to face, not with the FBI's armed agents. Not to mention spying on Americans, lying about spying on them while people like you disputed the fact over the accuracy of the term 'phone tap' and such. Using the IRS to target conservative groups. Using the DOJ to arm drug cartels at war with Federal Law Enforcement. Ordering the deaths of American citizens without due process. Trump didn't do that to his people, and wherever it happened under his term they hid it from him because they knew he'd fuck them with a school bus if he caught them. This is also why they are so determined to keep him from being in that position ever again...and why we want him to be.

Or proposing to attack a foreign nation and blame someone else? And, of course, trying to instigate a coup in order to void an election he lost?

On February 26, Ogles said that he was "mistaken" in claiming to have an MTSU degree in international relations, and claimed that he requested his college transcript the week before, and only learned then that his degree was actually in Liberal Studies.[4][6][10] NewsChannel 5 called Ogles's statement "apparently preemptive" because Ogles "ignored our requests for comment" after the media outlet obtained his MTSU transcript from an old job application.[4] On February 27, NewsChannel 5 published Ogles's transcript, which showed that Ogles took only one economics course at a community college, scoring a C pass, while he passed nine (and failed several other) political science courses at MTSU.[4] By February 28, Ogles's congressional biography was edited to simply state: "Andy obtained his degree from MTSU."[6]
At a political debate, Ogles called himself "a former member of law enforcement, worked in international sex crimes, specifically child trafficking", while at a separate forum, he said: "I went into law enforcement. I worked in human trafficking."[3][7] NewsChannel 5 reported that Ogles was a volunteer reserve deputy with the Williamson County Sheriff's Office from 2009 to 2011, with his position revoked for failing to meet minimum standards, failing to progress in field training, and failing to attend required meetings.[3] The Williamson County Sheriff's Office said that records do not show Ogles trained or worked against international sex trafficking as a reserve deputy.[3]
Ogles filed his first campaign finance report more than a week after the deadline, the only candidate in the race at that time to be late in doing so. He blamed the delay on "issues retrieving bank statements". When he did file it, the report showed that the campaign had raised $254,000 instead of the $453,000 it claimed shortly after Ogles launched it. Questions were raised about the $320,000 loan Ogles claimed to have made his campaign, a loan not reflected in any of his personal financial disclosures to the House and beyond his apparent means.[48] In May 2024 the campaign filed 11 amendments to its reports over the past two years restating the amount loaned as $20,000. Ogles said the larger amount previously stated was a "pledge" as to how much of his own money he was prepared to put into the campaign if necessary and was mistakenly included on the reports.[49] NewsChannel 5 reported that the FBI raided his Maury County home on August 1, 2024, as part of an investigation into his campaign finances.[3]

He trusted his family's intentions, capabilities and insight. He did not hire everyone in his family, only the ones who would be assets. All are valid reasons to hire a person even if they are family. Less that benevolent =/= despotic. Destroying exculpatory evidence is a violation of his civil rights, making him the target/victim of despots...not a despot himself. What else you got?

This is going to feed the Republican paranoia machine that Biden is using the government to go after political enemies, whether or not he did something wrong. Republicans have already announced their intentions of tampering with the election process in advance. Republicans are not sorry for committing crimes against the people of the United States. Republicans are only sorry that they got caught committing crimes against the people.

Democrats (the arbiters of Democracy) have weaponized the FBI, CIA and DOJ. Republican U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles played some stupid games and won some stupid prizes. And that as they say is that.

Roger Stone was right. “The FBI is Joe Biden’s personal Gustapo.”

Have you considered the possibiity that campaign finance laws were violated by Rep. Ogles? No, I don't trust anything this despotic regime says. Campaign finance violations happen every administration and to both sides.
Only now can politicians get a pass for it just by being on Trump's side.
