Ep. 920 Was There Another Dossier?: In this episode I address the bombshell revelation that there may have been a third dossier compiled on the Trump team. I also address the media’s latest lies designed to cover up the absurd claims of Andrew McCabe. Finally, I discuss a debate I had with a socialist last night on Fox, where he admits it doesn’t work.

What is Bob Mueller up to? Few people seem to know. The Trump team issues an epic response to Bernie Sanders’ presidential announcement. McCabe still cannot explain why the FBI was investigating the Trump team. Socialists are attempting to use teachers to turn purple states blue.
