their loons latched onto the QAnon nonsense for their own motives - mainly to go after Bill & Hillary Clinton. The whole "pizzagate" / "sex-trafficking" idiocy was a part of that.

The problem for them is that most of their "attacks" on us are nothing more than "projections" of their own involvement and guilt, as a strategy to put our side on the defensive. However it inevitably comes back to haunt them when their crimes are revealed, which is what is happening (or about to happen) now.

The original demand for "releasing the files" was to uncover "all kinds of high level 'Democrats'" so they could use them for cannon fodder against the party and liberals. But apparently what they are finding is not only a pile of Republicans, but also a pile of very wealthy businessmen.

Having clung to their idiotic CT for a decade, it's hard to break free, and some may still think there is some "high level Democrat" being "protected" by what they consider their own "swamp", and that could lead to them believing they were "tricked" by their dear leader who we know is the REAL guilty one.
