A rare glimpse of sanity. Many more zealots to be sidelined, yet.

Run and Hide !!
The man has seriously had a mental breakdown. Trump is doing this to many Americans - both Republican and Democrat. He is the alternative world pandemic.....
Watch out Caputo....your shadow's going to get ya.....
“leave of absence”
Research is proving that the Quran is a true miracle
'The longtime Russian operative' might also work?
Sounds like he went down some conspiracy theory internet rabbit hole and his family pulled an intervention. But scary these are the people surrounding trump and fueling his and Barr’s propaganda.
I guess his leave of absence we go along quite well with his leave of his senses… A pitiful human being
Yikes, did he catch the herd mentality 👀🤢🤮
Least he could do after he takes a s—t on his sanity. If he comes back, it’ll only be to Testify before Congress, after the Democrats get control of both Houses & the Presidency!
He needs to go crawl back under the rock he came from and stay there along with the bunker boy.
Paid Leave, I’m assuming🤬🚫👎‼️

The leave of absence is 60 days. The election is in ~50 days. Caputo is never coming back.
Heading towards a care home near you.
Is this guy an example of Trump ‘hiring the best people- we’ll have the best people?” Because it seems like his literally the worst person he has hired.
Got a call from daddy im sure...

realDonaldTrump bebest amirite?
Cuckoo cuckoo definitely cuckoo… Is he trying to lay down a insanity defense?
Was he drunk or on drugs when he made that video? 🤷🏼♂️
How convenient, hope he will never materialize again.
Clown show. When you just give out jobs to folks who have no desire to serve their country for the greater good and just want to make a buck this is what you get. They are loyal to the crown though.
His Mental health crisis the deep state.
It should be a permanent leave of absence
