And there were so many disappointed Alex Jones Fans!

They were all trying to figure out whether Hillary threatened his life or if he's just a sell-out.

We'll have to see how the MSM handles these releases -- will they be distracted from coverage of Trump's collapse under a mountain of revelations?
