The top story of the week: Continued daily Wikileaks exposing collusion between DNC and media and evidence of that collusion in action during the week as the media goes silent on Wikileaks revelations and provides 24/7 coverage re Trump on the bus/plane allegations of sexual impropriety.
Project Veritas videos showing DNC operatives discussing how to violently disrupt Trump rallies were also released this week.
One main actor Robert Creamer visited the White House hundreds of times, including dozens of meetings with the President.
Donald Trump in a speech on Saturday complaining of Hillary Clinton’s favorable treatment by the FBI/DOJ in her email case and blatant media bias in her favor and against him noted: If they can do this to me, and I have unlimited resources to fight it- think of what they can do to you?
