Now that (Democrat) child molestation is acceptable and defended, everything is a virtue.
Did he report his concerns about Hunter Biden to anyone else besides Biden’s staff?
Remembering how staff report concerns to staff (to staff), Jerry Sandusky’s earliest possible release date is October 9, 2042.
