This narrative, however cunningly orchestrated against Moore, has blown up in their faces, where with Sen Al Franken, Rep. Conyers and others, manifests that the far greater corruption (and complete lack of ethics, as manifested by the IRS weaponized to attack Obama/Hillary opposition, FISA manipulations to do surveillance on Trump officials before AND after Nov 2016, the Hillary Clinton campaign, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Donna Brazile, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, James Comey, Rod Rosenstein, Robert Meuller and his special investigative committee packed with huge DNC political donors, on and on) is on the Democrat side.
