Okay then.
This is not the America I was raised in.
The Republican Party is a clear and present danger to the United States of America
We need to win on Tuesday.

On the Maddow Blog twitter page...

https://twitter.com/MaddowBlog

...you can follow along with the various links - the Daily Beast report, the Reuters report, the Wall Street Journal report - they're all there. AND tidbits from the Newsweek report that will break tomorrow morning.

I didn't realize that @MaddowBlog was so comprehensive! Hadn't visited it. It simply hadn't occurred to me - D'OH!!!!! Where the hell have I been?

I hope young people who needed context for how the Republicans have been witch-hunting Hillary for years are taking note and understand what is going on here. I am sickened. Funny how Trumpsters/ the alt right/racists say we need to take our country back. We do need to take our country back from the GOP and the FBI!

without a warrant, without cause, as a special favor to his friend who wanted to stick her nose into their personal business.

I don't trust anyone with the FBI.

His own agents played him. I hope he is waiting until the election is over to clean house. If he won't take action, who will This is like something out of a spy novel. Rudy is in this, up to his eyeballs.
