President Obama Drops Bomb on Team Clinton and DNC: Emails Were Not Hacked

President Obama dropped a bomb on his way out the White House — besides the one he left, B2-style, with a suspected Islamic State camp in Libya.

If the Democratic Party — better known in my world as the Party of No Guts — ever envisions a return to the Relevance Column, facing hard facts about its internal corrosion is a first step to rehabilitation …
