Another Reflecting Pool Plot Twist: Turns out is was a parks employee who used a box cutter to โsave the pool from more damageโ & actually cut pieces of the liner that was flapping around in the water. The same parks employees who apparently witnessed โOlympian David Hearnโ vandalizing the pool.

Whitehouse: "The last Q I'm left with is what's left of this committee? What's left when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has this DOJ been asked what became of the $50k the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our Republican colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil"
