LOL! Note to self, German Shepherds make better companions than Weimaraners.

Republican Sen.

A bombshell report shows the depths of the Clinton campaign’s criminal activity. Special Counsel John Durham has filed a motion showing that lawyers for the Clinton campaign paid a technology company to “infiltrate” servers belonging to Trump Tower and later the White House.
