... what is printed.

There was little to NOTHING in the Iraq WMD meme that the public saw outside of what the Bush admin was saying.

In this case what is public and can be seen on youtube with Manafort, KingCons hack invitation (Tiabbi calls a "hope&quot , KingCons defending Putin during the debates, Russia ambassdor STATING the KingCon campaign was in contact with Russia and KingCons son's STATED financial ties to Russia

Fuck Tiabbi, he's on watch no doubt
