Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) delivers a speech during the opening of the second day of the Republican National Convention on July 19, 2016 at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. An estimated 50,000 people are expected in Cleveland, including hundreds of protesters and members of the media. The four-day Republican National Convention kicked off on July 18.

Because of Obama’s skin color, we will never see him or any of the other crooks in his adminintration brought to justice.
When your government is the crook, the Treasury thief, the bully, the strong arm, the terrorist (IRS, etc.), when because of this you lose faith, trust, security, despair enters the the nation’s mind set. No good can come of this.
About which congress will do... nothing.
