Christine blasey ford, and the college era accusation of deborah ramirez, were brought to their attention. Its amazing to me that these allegations come Out Of Nowhere at the last minute, and that they werent brought up earlier in this process.

Plus, the audience at president trumps rally last night, again, breaks out in a lock her up chant, this time for someone other than hillary clinton.

That i would be very happy. Absolutely. Lets not forget i know we have said it. But this investigation is over. The president never sat down for an interview with Robert Mueller. Thats huge. That was always the big question and something the lawyers never wanted to happen. They were able to prevent that and a subpoena fight. Robb eert mueller never put in request that was rejected.
