Friday, March 6, 2015
Good morning! In the news today: Hillary violated clear State Department rules; created a security issue; faces a political storm; Americans don't think Obama is honest; White House misled judge on amnesty; Republican anti-Boehner coup talk grows; and a woman is initially barred from a university panel for the simple reason that she is Jewish.
Have a nice weekend.
