Hur made a mistake opening the door to Biden by saying it’s understandable that you might not remember things from a long time ago. Practically a suggestion to forget.
The DC Democrats don’t do paper trails, for obvious reasons.
This story is much bigger than the attention it’s getting.
The country was run for four years by basically a Hewlett-Packard precision pen plotter with the Senile one’s signature on a flash drive.
Pam needs to be replaced!
