Why is the Con getting free airtime to accuse the Chairman of

the Oversight Committee of corruption and theft with not one shred of evidence. This is madness. I hope Elijah Cummings sues the pants off this criminal con.

M$Greedia stop your irresponsible crap.

They should instead focus on the issues he's trying to get away from, like Epstein, Putin, and his taxes exposing many crimes. He is using the media to incite his base with, and redirect attention.

1. Whether we like it or not we HAVE to know what the asshole is saying and doing. Or we can choose to be ignorant and turn a blind eye like the R's.

You can bet Fox News censored Obama in order to promote their own editorial opinion. The opposite on the left is no better. Just let Trump have all the rope he needs to hang himself.
