You regressives are such shameless liars.

Brian Terry would still be alive if Weiner and the rest of these evil dicks had done their jobs and risen over politics.

What's Brown and Stinks?

Special counsel for Gunwalker must be truly independent
While an independent counsel is needed, expecting a truly independent one to be appointed by a department that is up to its neck in stonewalling and cover-up, by a president whose own role and interests are appropriate for scrutiny, is at best problematic, and at worst a recipe for ensuring those responsible for “Project Gunwalker” are never held accountable for actions that have resulted in human deaths on both sides of the border.

This Day in History: September 28
The inclosed extracts contain substantially the most authentic intelligence I have received of the enemy's motions and designs. You will perceive they are making large detachments and that the Southern states are spoken of as a principal object. The particular corps too which are mentioned point that way: They would not separate their grenadiers and light infantry but for some important coup de main; and this I imagine is the manner in which they would proceed against Charlestown: Nor do I see where except with you they can intend to employ their cavalry. But there may be a mistake in this part of the intelligence, from the difficulty of ascertaining corps with precision, and some movements among those which are specified may have occasioned a deception.
