he's slippery.

but when people start announcing runs for the US president, shouldn't law enforcement take a quick pass at their records/activity and quickly get the word out/begin prosecution on people who are as dirty as this guy?

Yeah, but he wrote as if he really believes it. Is tRump hyperbolic swinging opinion against FBI? Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2018 #63

I am well aware. But "most" is nowhere near 99.5%. It's a plurality, but not 99.5%. Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2018 #58
