The Impeachment Circus Continues, But Does Any Sane Person Actually Care?

  I’ve spent the past week ignoring the impeachment circus, but did you know that “the Trump campaign took in $15 million in small-dollar donations in the first three days after Pelosi announced the inquiry”?

Barr Disputes IG Horowitz Report
