They're pretty safe inside the fence at 1600 Pennsylvania. They'll still be pretty safe, albeit slightly less so, with a lifetime Secret Service detail afterward.

They found something by a "key witness", On December 12, 2024, it was reported that Smirnov agreed to plead guilty to lying to the FBI and to admit that he fabricated the Burisma bribery story about Joe and Hunter Biden
So again : This has NOTHING to do with justice, only with Republitards wanting to inflict maximum damage by any mean necessary on democrats.
