10. I Could Swear

Fri Sep 7, 2018, 07:50 PM

Sep 2018

I watch the MSNBC shows nightly, and I am 100% positive there was a Breaking News report a couple of weeks ago, where they said Mueller was asking for 6 months, and then they did their usual speculation as to why it was so high a request, when P was supposedly cooperating. And I'm pretty sure it was being discussed on several threads here at DU.

It was the same day that P's wife came out and started saying they wanted to back out of deal. I remember that clearly. I'm not making this up.
