price, all of these crooks in rump's administration will pay. As one DUer has said earlier today, I hope that each and everyone of these crooks is hunted down to the corners of the earth, and made to pay (either restitution, or jail time, or both), if they caught, brought to justice, and then found guilty in a court of law. No rest for all of us until justice has been served.

career State Department patriots who are dismayed and disgusted by Pompeo are passing tidbits along to the press. I hope there will be many more to come!

and commandeered taxpayer-supported staff, office space, and other resources for her own use. Hard telling what kind of grift she is running at the State Department, again on our dime. Glad she and Mike got caught and publicly held to account this time.
