22. There are long time unspoken rules in Washington D.C.
Fri Nov 22, 2024, 10:35 AM
Nov 22

The sex, booze, drug, hooker, minors party time are legend and of long standing.
Anything you want, no questions asked.

Everyone in DC knows about these parties. Politicians and other DC regulars.
The Secret Service parties while on duty has been going on for decades.

The rule is that no-one outside the beltway ever hears any of this.

John McCain used to call Obama "a good family man."
This meant that Obama was not doing the sex and drug party circuit like everyone else.

Lots and lots of secrets. Everyone knew George Bush Senior had a long time mistress stashed
in Georgetown. And that one sitting Vice President was never seen and heard from after
he was sworn in. He was a stalker and flasher, kept under wraps and admitted to a sexual deviancy
treatment program in DC.

And yes everyone knows the planners, aiders and abetters of J6.
Top level politicians, staff, wives, etc.

The deal was cut to leave them alone and Liz Cheney could go after only Trump.
Everyone else has been protected.
