There have been enough smoking guns to start a war. Which may be the next step (rhymes with Iran).

It ain’t just Huston that got a problem if the Pentagon is in on a political cover up. How close is that to places like Turkey or Russia? That’s an American problem. All of America.

The next President best get with the program. Lots of brass need a kick in the ass. Oust them. Fuck their pensions. FBI, CIA, DIA, IRS, EPA, DOJ, Military…all conceived to be outside of politics need to be cleansed of their political people. America cannot work with broken parts.

If Duffey doesn’t testify, this is the next best evidence.

It sounds as if he might benefit from a few years to rethink his life choices.

Yes, but this is the Mother of all Smoking Guns. At least that is the way I see it. And of course, I expect the news media to report it the same way.

Ha, ha, just kidding (about the media, that is.)
