And James Clapper and his entire extended family should have been arrested, their property confiscated and banished from the United States forever for pushing the Russiagate...

Richard Nixon is dead, okay? Prostitution among consenting adults is also perfectly fine and certainly none of the damned government's damned business.) But check out the rest of the things on the "don't arrest the perps" list here: This is nothing but an open invitation to criminals to victimize innocent citizens. Why do we tolerate the existence of the 50 states and national...
