"Furthermore, I will attest to and confirm in judicial proceedings that Donald Trump, his entire cabinet as well as Rep Ryan and Sen Mc Turtle plotted, along with myself, members of the Russian Intel network and President Putin - to disrupt the American Electoral System, disgrace the Democratic Party and totally fix the 2016 Election in favor of Donald Trump. We did this for money and promises of perverse sexual activity with men, women, young girls and in my particular case, certain barnyard animals."

Expect a response from the Russian administration claiming that we
are too paranoid and that we should allow Beauregard to lead the investigations,
so he can clear their name.

Nope this isn't going to "fly", we the public demand a congressional panel to appoint someone, that is "independent",

and his staff said this:

"I have considered the issues at stake," Sessions said. He added that his staff recommended accusal.

Looks like the clown boat is going down!





Is this a miss type accusal?

But he's probably checking with his asparagus to make sure.

Is that a typo? Should be recusal, though maybe his staff really did recommend accusal. Perjury? Yeah, that sounds right.
