Editor,

New York Times columnist David Brooks just wrote a column “Did the FBI just reelect Donald Trump?” He contends the dust up at Mar-a Lago has boosted Trump’s support and fundraising.

Mr. Kahl,

Once again you offer your opinion in wide reaching, very vague terms in your attempt to paint the Democrats as evil and show no concern for the illegal, if not corrupt dealings of the Republicans. A "dust up", "super secret", "given a pass" and "less serious". Most of your "examples" have many more details than what you offer and some of your examples have been de-bunked. Next time try including some specifics, not just Fox news talking points.

Excuse me Taffy - what other detail should Ed have provided? His facts have been corroborated as reported then by several prevailing news sources. None of these stories were debunked, but perhaps conveniently forgotten by the Left. Are you watching Fox News yourself or are you relying on third party comments? Another cheap shot?

Dirk,

C’mon man, you can do better than that. As your friend Terence says, I am not going to do your homework for you. Did you even bother to verify any of Mr. Kahl’s assertions?

I will give you a couple of examples just to help you out. Obama didn’t steal documents like the Trump talking heads claim. The National Archives said that is bunk and they have control of the documents in their facility in Chicago and any of Obama’s classified docs are in their control in D.C. Even the Daily Mail, the right wing outlet in England says it is bunk.

General Petraeus was convicted not for having classified documents at his home, but for passing documents with classified information to his lover and biographer along with lying to the FBI about having them. I am not going to spend what little computer time I have explaining everything in the LTE. I will stand by my original comment that Mr. Kahl plays fast and loose with the facts and paints with a wide brush to suit his own imaginary evils of the Democrats.

Radical lefties prefer to listen to, and regurgitate, debunked fake news and lies instead of facing the truth. So thank you for your letter, Mr. Kahl, and setting the record straight. All of the Wile E. Coyote antics from the left only serve to increase our great President Trump’s influence and reach.
