      @ben. And this being negotiated with Lucifer’s henchman . Unnamed sources have linked Putin to the Steele dossier as well as racist attacks in major cities. Thankful that we have credible news sources to be relied on. This outlet is not captured . Polling shows that 95% of viewers trust legacy media. Implicitly. All is well !

    She didn't deserve release. As an American, it is YOUR responsibility to ensure what you're taking into another country is legal and allowed. She knew what she was doing, thought she was above the law and wouldn't get caught. That's her ignorance, not the entire US's. She should've been left there to serve her sentence.

    I do believe that if he did sell before, then, it's why he was arrested ahead of time, for conspiring to sell. I guess he doesn't understand these concepts because he says Russia doesn't teach them. Which is a problem. But they do understand shrewdness. And he does understand political chess concept. Someone should tell him, that is an example of what a "conspiracy" is but is done in secret (and the secrecy is what makes it evil).
