Sounds like this guy doesn't need to be appointed to anything except a pine box.

Thanks to Judicial Watch for exposing McCain’s plot against American patriots while he is still alive. McCain was a closet Democrat. That’s what the media loves him so much.

Wasn’t Trey Gowdy in charge of one of those Dog and Pony shows on the IRS Abuse and Lawlessness? Funny how things like this never come out in OFFICIAL HEARINGS.

Yes, JW is doing a great job all around. They are exposing actual evidence of a government that is targeting some citizens and protecting others. The implications of this cannot be understated.

Corruption is too soft of a word to describe this.

The Deep State isn’t so much a physical entity - rather a set of aggressive, statist, insider ideals held by certain people in power

Not True!

The AZ Gov has already denied that rumor.

The election between Obama and McCain back in 2008 was quite a choice, wasn’t it?

Pre arranged Kabuki theater. You have this script, we have ours. WE will raise questions that keep both our “ donors” thinking we are working in their interests, but in reality we don’t want anyone to take a real fall.

The only one who is brave enough to keep digging, besides The Donald, is this organization.

Sadly this won’t make the nightly news as it goes against the pre determined keep the story going.

And to think many of us voted for him to be President. Yes, I realize our votes were more anti Obama, but still this is stuff is very telling to show how petty a person he really is...
