Is there anything that is not 100 percent political all the time with these people? The Feds have no shame. [...] 
Haven’t linked to Paul Mulshine in forever…he seemed to have calmed down a bit from his pals getting laid off, but he was talking about the videos the White House doesn’t want you to see:
So of course, here it is! [...] 
Something worth reading on the history of corruption in NJ.
This too. [...]
