Is it wrong for me to question the reading skills of our elected Officals?

I mean look at this bull shit. They can't even read a simple letter in which he says it has to do with an unrelated case. Can they not understand that the FBI has cleared Hillary Clinton of this? I mean really, the desperation of some of these Republicans is going to cause me to have a heart attack.

I'm going to hit the bottle now. Don't call me, I'll call you after my headache ends

Is this election over yet? ---- sighs ---

They saw the letter. In no way did it say "reopen the investigation"

Every media outlet except the guardian had those words in the header or lede.

All of them said they were Clintons emails when they werent

Whatever happened to verifying sources? Corroborating information? Being accurate?
