Barry O and Lunchbox Joe knew in July of 2016, long before the now-infamous January meeting? Surprise!

You will also not be surprised by the wholesale dismissal of this release by the political left. They have denied it for four years; they are not about to stop now. But how long can they manage this crisis?
One of their last hopes was Trump’s taxes, and even the New York Times could not find a way to fabricate payments from Russians to Trump.
We also know the Durham investigation will not be seeking indictments before the election. That doe snot means that Ratcliff and others will not be declassifying incriminating material on regular bases over the remaining weeks before the election.
Gosh, I hope so.
