I hope we will learn from this BIG mistake or was it just a mistake...I always felt like this was a railroaded job. Franken was on trumps case. He must have found out something intensely incriminating about the sexual predator-in-chief. They got rid of Franken very quickly also. The whole thing stinks to high heaven and the collaboration of democrats in this travesty, shameful.
