[DTB-Talk] [NLS Network] More clarity on Bolton and Mary Trump books

Mon Aug 17 21:13:49 UTC 2020

I regret seeing this list pass along political 
suspicions  behind certain actions by the NLS. 
Political  suspicions are just that, both 
political and suspicions. The very 
same  accusations were made during the 
Obama  administration ... remember the IRS and DOJ accusations?
So, how about everyone  postulating these 
underlying reasons just hold them to yourself and 
close friends. I am probably not alone 
being  irritated by them all ... both sides ...  every side ... every time.
