So Trey Gowdy and the Republicans of the House Select Committee On Hillary Clinton’s Presidential Campaign basically cut their own asses off and gave them to Hillary Clinton, who obligingly handed them their asses right back. In other news today, A US Special Operator (probably Army Special Forces, but not confirmed) was Killed in Action […]
