Watch. DOJ will eventually release the old FBI handwriting analysis of the Epstein/Nassar letter saying it's a fake, then point fingers at "dems" who "perpetrated a hoax" to "hurt president trump."

Here’s what I think: If Bari wants it to “advance the story?” Ok, I’d pitch adding a segment to the piece that covers the detainees and conditions in the black site privatized ICE prisons here on U.S. soil. Let’s connect the dots for the American people Bari! This is 60 Minutes!

Hard agree, which is why it’s so funny to watch the MAGA pundits just keep yelling the name “Clinton” like somehow this is a gotcha for Dems. Who cares? Expose them all.
I really do not care if the guy who has raped kids is from my political party. My moral philosophy is that you don't rape kids, and there is nothing you can do that earns you a get-out-of-raping-kids-free card.

It’s important to remember that all day, every day there are people all over the country trying to make democracy work for everyone.
Mississippians do not have voting-rights restoration procedures for people with criminal records who have completed their sentences and returned to society, nor does the state have online registration, early voting or same-day voter registration.
