She sings like a canary if she's found guilty and the Clinton's and the likes can't have that. this woman held the entire edifice of elite western politics and capital by the short and curlies for more than two decades, and her die is cast after 9 days of untelevised prosecution. good luck out there folks Weren’t the passengers on the Lolita express & the elites who visited his island going to be exposed? It couldn’t possibly be a coverup could it? What is the prosecutor thinking?
