    Worth recalling, in light of Ratcliffe's charges tonight, that exactly 8 yrs ago Thursday, Donald Trump warned that Obama was going "to start a war [with Iran] to get elected."

    toady intel chief just rushed the mic to say it isn’t Trump-loving white supremacist who are sending threatening emails to Florida voters. It’s ! Not Trump’s guys, Iran! boss ChrisWray didn’t look very comfortable. Put me down as skeptical.
