Someone needs to go to prison...............
careful... or you just might.
Only if you are a Republican. I thought you knew this already. Sheesh.
No REASONABLE prosecutor would recommend an indictment or any prosecution./Comey
Who gets to be ambassador to Libya?
Wasn’t there an investigation of “Pay to Play” some years back?
How is this any different?
LOL!
