I also see Faux News’ Paul Steinhauser made a point of throwing sand on frontrunner momentum and emphasizing “Iowa’s low-turnout Republican presidential caucuses” and “the former president’s nearly twelve point margin over Haley was below what most of the final public opinion surveys conducted ahead of the primary had suggested.”

It’ll be overturned. But in the meantime, time, money, and effort that could have been better applied will be wasted on a lawsuit that should have resulted in sanctions.

This is the Obama-appointed subversive who wrote the panel opinion. He also denied a FOIA for abortion mill grant docs from HHS.

Poor Little Rich Kid

Alex Soros Tweets Out Bullet Hole and 47 — A Direct Violent Threat to Donald Trump! [More]
