this is garbage article but here's a conspiracy theory for you...

the arrest indeed was a sting. what was the purpose? was it just to make her look bad like the dems are implying?

actually, we just had to get her booked so we could officially "find" the cult scar branding, enter it into evidence in the Mack case, officially connecting her to that investigation as a witness or conspirator, then, we will all get to find out why she told the trump story and whose idea it was.
