might as well have played his greatest hits from Congressional testimonies. He ignored the Public Opinion fact, spun as he always has. and the usual "can't answer- ongoing investigation" was expected. The fact remains that Americans are watching the FBI and other 4th Branch offices begin PR make overs now that the House is GOP controlled and we have no faith in leadership of these institutions.

masterful spin by Leslie Marshall, comparing 20Yr old Marines dying needlessly with seniors succumbing to coronavirus in Florida as being a wash.... bravo. Advisers and messaging like that should reap sooooo much for 2022.
