coup-plotting and pathologically duplicitous ex-president to subvert american democrat see and the process of given the persistent power of donald j. trump in the republican party and the depoched and decrepit party, will end the way it did with wyoming congresswoman liz cheney losing in a landslide. cheney s unforgivable sin in the ice of maga voters and a bunch of other republican voters, too, along with team trump cultivated and blessed the candidate who defeated her when it came to her conviction that trump is nothing more than an existential threat to our republic and cheney acknowledged as much. years ago i won this primary with 37% of the vote. i could easily have done the same again. the path was clear.7% of the vo. i could easily have done the same again. the path was clear.3% of the vo. i could easily have done the same again. the path was clear. but it would have required they go along with the lie of the 2720 election, that i would unravel our democratic system

The last man in the room before the president spoke alone with fbi director james comey testified under oath, Attorney General Jeff Sessions is seen and heard a lot as one of Donald Trumps closest complain advisers and is accused of being untruthful and went before the Senate Intelligence committee in part he said to set the record straight about a number of things, including in his words, secret innuendo being leaked about himself, the president and his whole affair. He had plenty to say about that. He had less to say to the considerable irritation of some

Put what on the president . This idea that you just said the the New York Times is reporting that the president approved either wrote or approved the that is not an outlandish suggesting.
