Oh. Well then I guess that means that we'll just have to assume that every Republican is on the list, and act accordingly.

At this point, I’m not sure which is more damaging to Republicans: the list itself, or the circus around the list. Either way, it’s providing some much needed good news, as well as a reality check for some.

Well, that guy is about to get so fired.

Well, that guy is about to get so ~~fired~~ promoted.

Fixed that for you!

Fuck this reporting and fuck James O'Keefe and fuck his media group.

Stop posting this shit and stop giving him attention.

Seriously. This is some DOJ employee saying basically what we all say, not someone spilling the government secrets.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It's what he does. He finds a target, usually a low level employee, befriends them, and gets then to speak their mind.

This person is speaking as an individual, as one of us. They're not speaking on behalf of the DOJ.

I don't know why people are eating it up. It literally doesn't mean anything more than a Reddit comment.

So is this the cabal that the MAGA nutcases were referring to?

Good! There's NOTHING WORSE then having to Out CHILD RAPISTS!

-LITERALLY Republicans!

The survivors just said they're coming up with their own list anyways

Unfortunately not all of them survived, so while I fully support their actions, there certainly are monsters escaping justice thanks to Republicans staunch position that child rape is okay if committed by a Republican.
