WASHINGTON — The FBI was justified in opening its investigation into ties between the Trump presidential campaign and Russia and did not act with political bias, despite “serious performance failures” up the bureau’s chain of command, the Justice Department’s internal watchdog said in a highly anticipated report Monday. The findings undercut President Donald Trump’s claim that he was the target of a “witch hunt.” Yet its nuanced conclusions deny a clear-cut vindication for Trump’s supporters or critics.

Yep, Jasmine, like Eric Swalwell, Stacey Plaskett, Gretchen Whitmer, Jamie Raskin, Ted Lieu, AOC, Gavin Newsom, Hakeem Jeffries, Adam Schiffand I could go on, are our future.
