I’ve probably reviewed thousands of congressional letters, and intelligence committee letters from oversight, along with even more executive agency responses. In fact, CTH has shared hundreds of outlines covering granular details within many of the internal memos and correspondences. However, I have never seen anything like this before.

Why would Rosenstein and Wray be giving “assurances”? I digress.

Two hospital administrators told me that Americans who have paid into the system their entire lives are being denied basic needs while illegals and immigrants got everything paid for.

I SERIOUSLY DONT KNOW WHATS GOING ON WITH THESE GUYS BUT ANYWAY NICE UPDATE
