The jokes write themselves...

But behind the scenes. Could it be the NYTs hate the Clintons so much (there is no love between the two of them) they are willing to do this to slam Hillary????

What does it have to do with Clinton other than it causes an embarrassing comparison if they prosecute (which they won’t)?

Press is mad about senior officials using private accounts/servers to sidestep FOIA.

He learned well.
Apprenticed in the Clinton administration, and (surprise!) was a consultant to Goldman Sachs...

There’s probably nothing classified. It’s probably about homosexuals and transsexuals in the armed services.

I’d love to see this clown gone. How would something like D-day go with his army of trannies, chicks, and sissies storming the beach? We’re lucky we have such a technological advantage over our enemies.

enjoy......

A Harley rider is passing the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his bike, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain, the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.

A New York Times reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter says, “Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I have ever seen a man do in my whole life.”

The biker replies, “Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.”

The reporter says, “Well, I’m a journalist from the New York Times, and tomorrow’s paper will have this story on the front page...So, what do you do for a living, and what political affiliation do you have?”

The biker replies, “I’m a US Marine and a Republican.”

The following morning the biker buys The New York Times to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on front page: U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH.
