This is evident by the official resignation date. It's too late to fill the seat. This is all by design.
I don't think they're going to poison the water. I think they're going to shut it off.
Agree. Dems, the deep state and the shadow government is working hard daily to keep the gravy train rolling. Part of the reason they don't want a Donald J Trump (lawfare, jail, fine, indict, and what ever is next) or Robert F Kennedy Jr. (no secret service protection, keep him out of Dem primaries, and what ever is nest) or a John F Kennedy (CIA hit squad) around.
