   none of the charges are legit, and it is because, they have not followed   
   the law in correct order.  But in fact have side stepped it, with   
   evidence that is not evidence, which makes him correct, it is   
   persecution from the other side.  Espcially since the doj was bribed by   
   the Bidens.  Same as American school systems have been bribed by him on   
   college tuitions.  Now we taxpayers pay for others in college schools as   
   well as the false covid.  and that, is a bunch of corrupt bs
