      @@TingTingalingyI’m beginning to believe that they are all still involved and history is repeating itself. They essentially used the same tactics to infiltrate Hollywood back in the day, and I just find it strange how no one seems to want to come after them for exposure.. just like no one did back in the day.

      Screw the feds and screw the govt.
      How sorry are they that they continue to waste time and resources on ppl like this. You have antifa and terrorists and cartels. The mafia should be the last worry for them.
      Typical tho, fbi is corrupt and has no legitimacy at all.
      The man in the Oval Office has a son dirtier than this guy and where are the feds? But they are sure to file a charge for consorting with known felons on merino lmAo
      How bad do they look? Our country is screwed and our justice system is anything but blind

There are used cars that cost about 10,000 dollars that look like they cost 30,000 dollars. And as far as the clothes, I can go to Goodwill and get an outfit together that looks like I just bought it at Saks Fifth Avenue. Not all the time but a fair amount of times. What I'm trying to say is just because you drive a nice car and dress well, doesn't mean you have money or a person of means. I never could understand this mindset that some have.
