the cases. However we did see the explanation for the dismissal of those particular suits..

I do believe that the IG report by the Turnip appointed IG be must be investigated The report that claims Trump was not behind the clearing.

*edit add the missing word, that and 2nd edit, add word must, 3rd :/ add word think.
