An investigation from Rolling Stone? Like their investigation into the alleged gang-rape at UVA?!

Like I’ve been saying : Libtards love spying on people.

They would put a camera up your butt if they could that’s how intrusive those vermin are

Right now, I’d believe even the Rolling Stone more than the FBI.

Well, they had to do something while they weren’t looking into certain Democrats.

Aretha kept winning Grammy awards every year for decades. I think she had very big people behind her. And like Weinstein, they may not have been too nice. Her career was helped along beyond her talent.

They tried to connect her with communist radical orgs like the Black Panthers, Black Liberation Army, etc, but failed to make any connection.

This was all back before the DOJ was allowed to be fully infiltrated by anti-Americans.

Her father was an influential black minister. I wonder if the FBI spying was related.

LOL. My parents went and saw Aretha in Vegas years ago and it almost killed my father.
