adviser sam clovis. i m going to go back to my friend ken. ken, if you look at this thing unwrapping, trump s current redoubt or the wall he puts up lately there was no russian attempt to influence our election, nub at all. that s huckabee sander s job to keep saying that and wait a minute here, if there is no collusion, why is papadopoulos, why was jared kushner your son-in-law, why were all so ready to meet any time the russians wanted to meet, they were there. they were trod show up and collude. that s right. i don t know how far this is going to go. but the idea they were totally innocent of any idea to collude is indefensible already. absolutely, chris. what is interesting about what you said about papadopoulos coordinating with senior campaign officials is that sarah huckabee sanders tried to say from the white house podium today that this was a low level campaign aide operating on his own. he had nothing to do with the campaign. that s manifestly untrue as exposed in these

a crucial part of the victory that secures american independence, just as african-american patriots play vital roles throughout the revolution. there is a very famous watercolor from a hessian artist that includes an image of an actual african rhode island participant. it very much characterizes the fact that africans were not sideline participants. they were actively involved in nearly every aspect of building this great country. by understanding the story of jack sisson, we have a better understanding of the story of america. by taking the redoubt number 10, the rhode island regiment allows washington to launch a devastating artillery attack on the main british fortifications. five days later, general cornwallis surrenders. where is lord cornwallis? he is. under the weather, sir.
