The Russians did not break into our voting systems and d-bases just to "look around"

Russia was into the voting systems of 39 states.

11. Remember that Trump was recently furious with Kirstjen Nielsen

For not deporting illegal immigrants fast enough and was reported to have yelled "red faced"for about 30 minutes after which she was said to have written her resignation letter.

So now she plays stupid to please the fvcking moron and blatantly exposed herself for being another ass-kisser.

Another shameless unqualified person in his administration.

Pathetic and very dangerous,especially coming from HLS.

12. She proved her stupidity during her 'confirmation' hearings.
