Orangefield ISD teachers and l...
MUELLER’S 448 PAGE AUDIO REPORT Trump said highly respected, former special council Robert Mueller, who testified Wednesday at a House hearing, “Should not be given another bite at the apple.” I can see why, because this apple is rotten to the core and the Mueller report bares that out. Sean Hannity, the snake who spews the most venom on FOX News Prime Time, tutored his Boy Scouts Jim Jordan, Kevin Jones and others on how to question Mueller and break him down on how the investigation into Russia’s interference in 2016 el...
