I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.

KLOBUCHAR: Are you aware agents bashed in the door of a citizen? NOEM: I can't speak to specifics K: Do you believe he was involved in fraud? Are you aware he's son of a beloved nurse that treated our soldiers in Vietnam? Did they have a judicial warrant? Are you aware he tried to show his ID?

#Iran From #MSNOW: The #FBI agents Kash Patel fired last week for being on the staff that investigated Trump's classified documents case? They were part of "an elite counter espionage unit" responsible for tracking Iranian threats in the US. www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...
