Intelligence? We’re the only major county in the world WITHOUT access to Hilary’s emails... and the rest of her lies and filth.
And this from the same paper that scrapped to publish the Pentagon Papers? Oh, David Sanger and Eric Schmitt - how the mighty have fallen....
why arent they looking into the arkancide of DNC employee, Seth Rich?
two shots in the back - no robbery.
ruskies only head fake/misdirection.
“The Russians did it!” is the new “squirrel”.
Perfect summation!
My guess is that it was the DNC staffer murdered a few weeks ago.
The irony is that Hillary grew up in an era when all of her fellow travelers KNEW that Nixon was the worst human being alive, etc., that she worked for a Congressional committee investigating Nixon, and she was tossed off - FIRED - for unethical behavior.
Ironies on top of ironies. Pass the popcorn, this is getting VERY entertaining.
