Time to boycott Leinenkugel's

The retired head of the Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Co. is joining President Donald Trump’s administration as an adviser on veterans issues.

The Department of Veterans Affairs confirmed Tuesday that Jake Leinenkugel had accepted a position as a senior White House adviser at the VA.

Leinenkugel served as a captain in the U.S. Marine Corps and is the father of two veterans. His brother, Dick, says the job will allow Jake Leinenkugel to make an impact on those who served their country.

OMG - History Channel - Nixon 1968 - Paris Peace Talks

I'm watching a documentary on History Channel, of all places. The documentary is entitled Transition of Power. They are talking about how Richard Nixon abused classified information when he was a presidential candidate. They are playing declassified recordings of how Richard Nixon interfered with the ongoing Paris peace talks.

They have got Johnson on tape with talking with Dirksen. Johnson found out that Nixon was trying to sabotage the peace talks from a wiretap in the South Vietnamese Embassy in Washington DC.

I have read about this on DU, butt haven't read about it or seen it in the MSM. The information about Nixon was declassified in 2008.

I wonder when the 1980 election will become delassified?
I know darn well that Reagan interfered with the hostage situation.

About LeftInTX

Always a Democrat. I can't understand conservatives. I try to understand them, but I can't. They don't make sense. Our country has gone so far right since 1981. I was just an average American who took many Democratic values for granted when Reagan was elected. It was like the rug was pulled out from under our society. Reagan ruined our country.
