cases 30 years, and it has been all around me, personally & professionally.

I support Al Franken too. This is a RW set up to get rid of our best and brightest, again.

Dems, don't fall for this! We are complicit in letting them destroy us. Show some backbone an give this guy an investigation... due process.
