Could this all have started with a phone call by David Patraeus? Was he not highly respected, honored even, by everyone that served with him in the Army and CIA?

Obama CAN'T get in the way of that.

The media is at its weakest for the next 18 months
Donald Trump and Ben Carson, during this POTUS run, are free to make statements and sling the truth at Hillary/0bama/Pelosi/Reid
