FFacing a federal indictment for misuse of campaign funds, Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Alpine) is still the frontrunner in the race for the 50th Congressional District although with a shrinking advantage over Democratic challenger Ammar Campa-Najjar.

Turn Munich is great up to the last half hour. The point it veers away from justified retribution to navel gazing self doubt is where to stop watching.
Almost scene-for-scene it’s from “Sword of Gideon”.
Real Americans know this is just a bunch of commie ‘RAT horsesh*t. Meddling in the elections by the communist party U.S.A.
AFAIC all Demonrats have terrorist connections.
The goose-stepping commie traitors at the WP hate Marines like Mr. Hunter. Let’s hope every veteran and active duty person shows up and votes.
Is Hillary in Jail???
Do you think she belongs in jail?
All Professional Politicians are crooks..that is how they come out of Congress wealthy...maybe each Congress Member should be under the microscope...
I do wish Hillary Clinton would be charged, convicted, and jail just like everyone else. That she hasn’t been is no Get of of jail free pass for corrupt politicians like Duncan Hunter. No way.
