The Obama administration lies so often people expect it. They’d faint if they told the truth for a change. Most transparent liars in U.S. history

Sanctions? I’ve heard that word before.

Oh, wait. The executive branch (Justice Dept.) won’t tolerate sanctions.

The Texas Rangers (not the baseball team) would probably be more than happy to arrest all appropriate Feds in Texas, given the mess the Feds left them at Waco.
