Here we go again with the intent defense. My question is; if no intent, then why has this gone on for four f*n years? The obvious answer is that there was (and continues to be) intent. Intent to subvert our elections, much to delight of Putin. Intent to destroy our Constitutional Republic. Intent to install a dictatorship.
May they all rot in Hell..
