They believed Comey had badly screwed up the Hillary Clinton investigation -- first to Trump's detriment, on July 5, when he essentially laid out an indictment of Clinton but concluded by saying no charges would be brought, and later to Trump's benefit, on Oct. 28, just 11 days before the election, when he re-opened the Clinton investigation....

If a child is conceived with an X+X combination, she is a girl from the moment of conception and will be a female until the day she dies.... (more)
