Greg Craig ?
I did a double take when I saw WNU's headline. I could of swore newspaper said he was part of the Trump White House.
Of course, if the made the 'mistake', they would issue a correction having done the damage that they wanted to do in the political sphere among the electorate with their 'honest' mistake.
this the result of the Mueller work! his work objective and now since a guy who worked for Manafort and also a Democrat caught, Mueller is ok!
Mueller, thus, is non partisan...time to cast aside stupid biases
A One-off is not proof.
Maybe this is a good sign?
