...or Michelle's, or Kamala Harris'

They said the released records were "partially redacted." If there was anything about the behind the scenes movers, I'd assume it was held back in the redactions.

Now if only the New York cops would release the trove of Hillary Clinton case files they claim that they were holding.

Don’t forget Valerie, the Obama’s “Fixer”. Maybe the Pritzkers too.

According to a report I heard, earlier....the Chicago Police are sick and tired of cases not being properly charged....most charges are dropped.

Sounds like they’ve had enough.
