Get busy Rush and Bo!!!
where is the memo?

Amazingly, the Dim plants on a number of discussion groups have suddenly fallen silent. Up until the release time, they were all posting madly.
He’s gonna arrest and charge all of Congress who voted to release the memo?
The obstruction of justice originates with the folks who presented nonsense to a judge.
