OSU alumni with pictures of Lex Wexner with Jeffrey Epstein…are demanding answers and justice. Powerful people may try to bury it…but…when thousands show up shouting…nobody looks away. Truth doesn’t fade under pressure. They demand Wexner testify about allegations against Dr. Richard Strauss.

Pirro said the pipe bombing suspect had "not a lot of social media". She should call me, because I have now found his: Twitter, Tumblr, Soundcloud, YouTube channel, songs he made on YouTube, Steam, and about five fanfic and gaming forum accounts.

It looks like Tom Cotton was being deceptive by saying video shows the men trying to flip boat "loaded with drugs." As I reported, Ds who saw video say no drugs were visible/boat was crippled.
Q for Rs is simple: Did you see drugs and was boat incapacitated, or no?
