>The federal watchdog also accused Blanton, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, of ethics violations over an offer to provide tours to “patriots” weeks before the November 2020 election.

This seriously needs to be looked at a lot deeper...check his phone logs, text messages, emails, check for his fingerprints on those pipe bombs, etc.

That is so far off base. Nowhere has anyone said shit about a person being hit by a car until you. A car was hit by a car. And this was never about "people"in general.

But yeah sure bud im a horrible person , so whats it to you.

When everyone is in the same clubs and fraternities and interests converge, it's hard to tell otherwise.

I don't know about other states, but in Georgia law books that's two felonies.

  1. 16-10-23 Impersonating a Public Officer or Employee
  2. 51-7-20 False Imprisonment

Forget fired, this guy needs to be investigated for multiple felonies.

I agree. Not to mention that if it wasn't a high profile right winger, anybody else would be cuffed and in jail already. It really galls me that they get treated with kid gloves and given every benefit of the doubt.
