NEWS:

House Dems have learned that the State Department IG fired by Trump had mostly completed an investigation into the decision by @SecPompeo to fast track $8 billion in arms to the Saudis, I'm told.

Dems are looking at a possible link.

[From an old British insult: "you're so crooked that if you swallowed a nail you'd shit a corkscrew" - Gerald Templer (1898–1979), British military commander. Often repeated in Israel to describe Netenyahu.]

Need I say more.

We need to build a special place to house these criminals when the tribunals begin next year. Without examples made of criminal conduct unbecoming, it will only get worse.

Scorched Earth.
