Lauren Boebert shares QAnon conspiracy claiming GOP will retake Congress due to Democratic arrests and resignations


Lauren Boebert has shared a QAnon conspiracy claiming that the GOP will retake Congress following a supposed wave of Democratic resignations and arrests.

The Colorado congresswoman suggested at the town hall that she had insider knowledge of the conspiracy theory, which claims that secret documents declassified in the final days of the Trump administration will bring down his enemies.

The theory, which would see Republicans gain control the House and Senate before the 2022 elections, has been pushed by the right-wing Epoch Times.

Ms Boebert reportedly told her constituents at the event earlier this week that her sources were close to the ex-president.

“And this is my opinion with that information that I have, I believe we will see resignations begin to take place,” said Ms Boebert according to the Delta County Independent.

“And I think we can take back the majority in the House and the Senate before 2022 when all of this is ended.”

She made her claims after being asked at the event if there would ever be arrests for Hillary Clinton or the former heads of the FBI and CIA.

Ms Clinton has been the subject of arrest rumours as part of the widely debunked QAnon conspiracy that Mr Trump was secretly fighting a child-sex ring that included Democrats, Hollywood elites and “deep state” allies.

The leader of QAnon, “Q”, has repeatedly falsely predicted the arrest of Ms Clinton and suggested she will face a military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay detention camp.

“I want to tell you, I heard from someone who is in very close contact with President Trump and the ins and outs of the White House under that administration,” she said.

“They talked to the owners of the Epoch Times and they said don’t change anything, you are right over the target.

“So anyone who tries and tells you that this is a fringe newspaper. Don’t listen to them. I have very good sources that tell me this is very good information. Is it 100 per cent? I don’t know but it’s very good information.

“We all know that there was information that was declassified just a few days before President Trump left office.

Matt Gaetz's ex-girlfriend to cooperate with federal authorities in sex trafficking investigation

Washington (CNN) Federal authorities investigating alleged sex trafficking by GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz have secured the cooperation of the congressman's ex-girlfriend, according to people familiar with the matter. The woman, a former Capitol Hill staffer, is seen as a critical witness, as she has been linked to Gaetz as far back as the summer of 2017, a period of time that has emerged as a key window of scrutiny for investigators. She can also help investigators understand the relevance of hundreds of transactions they have obtained records of, including those involving alleged payments for sex, the sources said. News of the woman's willingness to talk, which has not been previously reported, comes just days after the Justice Department formally entered into a plea agreement with Joel Greenberg, a one-time close friend of Gaetz whose entanglement with young women first drew the congressman onto investigators' radar. CNN reported last week that investigators were pressing for the...

Biden Wants to Hire 87,000 Additional IRS Agents to Go After Wealthy Tax Dodgers

The Biden administration is proposing hiring 87,000 new workers for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), effectively doubling the agency’s size, as part of a plan to beef up enforcement efforts and find billions of dollars in tax revenues that go uncollected each year. Enforcement efforts would primarily target individuals and corporations with higher incomes and profits, the administration has suggested. The hiring, which would be part of President Joe Biden’s overall $80 billion spending plan to increase enforcement efforts at the IRS, would not happen all at once. Instead, it would be carried out in phases, with a 15 percent growth in employment at the agency per year until that 87,000 hiring benchmark is reached. The move would help recoup (and go beyond) some of the employment losses the agency has seen over the past decade, as the IRS has lost more than 33,000 workers over the past decade. The drop in employment at the agency has resulted in fewer audits, particularly for filers w...
