Fred gave the right non-answer to the question. However, he looked pained. I think he knows more than he is letting on. If my reading of his expressions is any good. Which is going to lead next to some rampant speculation. Fred and Hillary were both Watergate lawyers. This is a fact. Here is an…

Networks of the Left looks at Al’s connections to the left side of American politics. Rich Lowry on Sharpton’s business. Race hustling. Rich thinks Al would like to be #1 in the business.…
