Could we damn do this with shell companies?

Rep Clay Higgins (R-La) is asking FBI director Chris Wray about alleged "ghost buses" that perhaps brought undercover FBI assets to the Capitol on Jan 6.

"This buses are nefarious in nature and were filled with FBI informants dressed as Trump supporters"

Please tell me what we do with a major political party that sees #GhostBuses

Please vote Blue. #TransRightsAreHumanRights
