The irony that this is all going to go down the drain with written evidence on an email when they were trying to steal DNC emails is the most delicious of ironies.

from the link:

"The president was aggravated by the news of the meeting, according to one person close to him — less over the fact that it had happened, and more because it was yet another story about Russia that had swamped the media cycle."

Now we have proof that he lied to Sean Hannity, the New York Times, the American people, hopefully the FBI.

He is definitely his father's son.

Adam Schiff: Congressman, investigating Trump, conspiracy is a crime, we might have issues here.

Just now on Rachel
