Why will it be hard for QAnon to disappear? They will read into anything Trump says as some coded message and link to single words or numbers in drops from years ago to predict what is happening now. Trump still has power to mobilise these individuals wether he knows it or not.

You may recall that Michael Flynn's brother Jack sued CNN for $75 million, claiming the network falsely painted him as a QAnon follower.
One problem with the case: He tweeted his support for QAnon on several occasions, as CNN outlines in a new brief.

Kanawha County Man Pleads Guilty to Child Pornography Charge
BECKLEY, W.Va. – A Kanawha County man pleaded guilty today to a child pornography charge.
According to the plea agreement and statements made in court, Steven Alfred Bennett, 56, of Montgomery, admitted that in October 2020, he contacted a woman via Craigslist who was allegedly located in Beckley, West Virginia. During those conversations, he arranged to meet the woman in Beckley and to pay $150 to engage in sexual activity with an 11-year-old girl that the woman had stated was her daughter. However, Bennett did not meet at the arranged time after he saw a local news story about a man getting arrested for responding to the same Craigslist ad. A subsequent search of Bennett’s home found computers that contained suspected child pornography, including an image of a prepubescent female he had received via a Skype conversation in 2016.
Bennett pleaded guilty to receipt of child pornography and faces at least 10 years and up to 20 years in prison when he is sentenced on October 18, 2021.
Acting United States Attorney Lisa G. Johnston made the announcement and commended the investigative work of the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force.
United States District Judge Frank W. Volk presided over the hearing. Assistant United States Attorney Jennifer Rada Herrald is handling the prosecution.
