Will Sommer: Across the MAGA-Verse

And just the huge reaction and the idea that, you know, we're going to tell all these gigantic food conglomerates that, you know, back the Republican Party to, you know, suddenly get into, you know, ditch the hateful hate, etc. I mean, just seems very slim. And so, But for now, I mean, I don't know. It seems like RFK is probably skeptical enough of vaccines and all that.

So there's this whole demand for disclosure and like, we're going to get the documents. Yeah. In the Seth Rich case, there's a lawyer who's been suing for several years now to get the FBI files on Seth Rich, who, of course, was murdered in 2016, a Democratic staffer.

Yeah, so right. And the key to that would be that if you proved, I mean, there's no evidence, but if you proved that Seth Rich leaked the DNC emails to WikiLeaks, then that would mean the Russia hack was fake. And so Trump would be exonerated. And so that's kind of like why they pursued it. So this guy has been pushing for these documents forever.

I suspect the documents are just, you know, the D.C. police saying, yeah, we think it was a botched robbery and that's it. But now that the FBI has continued to withhold the documents and said, well, maybe we'll give you a list of the documents. So now that we see these pro Trump influencers saying, you know, Pam Bondi, God darn it, you got to release this stuff. And let's say she does release it.

Probably not hugely, but I do think she's really being set up to take the fall for a lot of these conspiracy theories not coming true.
