Such matters would include the entire Epstein affair. I am waiting for news of the appointment of an independent counsel, but not holding my breath.

He did it! He found somebody EVEN WORSE!

=========
Mr. AG, Sir, FBI disarmed a man who shot up a kindergarten at Kelly AFB to protest Harry Potter books. The suspect's in custody and we're filing murder charges.
