It WAS Obama’s justice department. Holder and then Lynch protected Obama at every turn. No one can honestly claim that the 2017-2019 Justice Dept is protecting Trump. Thus this headline is really dishonest.

Partner, we are indeed praying for President Trump since the Rat party seems so intent on putting out the IRS returns. The Rat party is going nuts as we speak.
