May 2019

the timing issue to me seems to be critical. Aren't all the current Congressional investigations a start to the process? Building momentum, public perception and possibly most important a supportive legal framework for opening all the cans of information?

The Benghazi hearings produced nothing but they certainly tainted HRC and wore away at her support. In today's instant gratification world isn't perception as important as facts to many??
