For first time in this countrys history a former president of the United States has been charged with felonies committed while he was president. This one is about the threat to our democracy. Targeted, obstructing a Bedrock Function of the u. S. Government. The government has had three years to investigate this and now they want to rush this to trial in the middle of political season. What does that tell you . He oversaw or directed the activity of those involved supposed to protect our country, support our country, support our constitution and protect our constitution.

As you can see theres so much to get to this morning, were glad youre with us on cnn
