Important: Alvin Holsey, the commander who oversaw Trump's boat bombings and resigned w/no explanation, had concerns about legality of operation, WSJ reports.
Recall that Rep Adam Smith told me he sought Holsey's testimony. Pentagon said No and Rs won't push for it.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.
Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.
That’s why Trump is attacking the Dept. of Education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

If there is a cover up - or a mass, criminal conspiracy to conceal the President’s connection to a pedophile ring - this is what it would look like.
