Something is going on with that company.. Raine do you think it's possible the Romney family is playing some inside baseball to keep Mitt's legacy going (he is basically the grandpa of the ACA).

It's weird. It looks like they are pushing OUT ACA backers.

Good morning, bloggers!!!
I hope that everyone is well.
As for Trump, he is far more self-absorbed than any politician that I covered when I was a reporter. Many had huge egos, but they at least had the wisdom to not claim to be experts on everything.
Trump is less qualified to talk about preventing the Civil War than almost all of the students that I teach.

ASK THE FOLLOW-UP
If 702 specifically requires proof that an American Citizen is involved with international agents or terrorists working against the country, then tell the country who was the subject of the investigation.

Yup. For those unfamiliar. The Eastern District (Northern Virginia) is called the "Rocket Docket" for the "speed" in issuing indictments. https://t.co/ZcPl5iJI3i
