Didn't know that....this is scripted like a thriller....

What did he die of? Was it natural causes? Suspicious circumstances? I am surprised the Trumpsters already haven't concocted some kind of conspiracy theory that Hillary did it....

But it was just yesterday they were proclaiming that the private texts between two romantic partners had to be revealed, even though there was no crime involved at all.

Now emails on government equipment are sacrosanct even from a criminal investigation?

Lou Barletta came in on the red wave of 2010 and I doubt he'll unseat Sen. Casey; Casey is too popular and Pennsylvanians are catching onto the Toxic Tangerine.

Further, my dad, after 27 years in the military, including a stint with JAG, served for 18 years as an investigator for the public defender's office. All of them have said multiple times that a prosecutor doing these kinds of investigations/interrogations ALWAYS knows the answers before s/he asks the questions. SOP. If these clowns didn't know that, more's the better.
