Trump is inviting Devin Nunes and Trey Gowdy to review classified information which Trump says proves the FBI was surveilling his campaign.

Wisconsin? You mean the state where a county sheriff, who upon noticing our Ontario plates, tossed us in jail for not speeding on the interstate? That Wisconsin? Nuke it from orbit. Besides that, it’s in the way between TBay’s Loch Lomond and da UP’s Mt. Bohemia. ---
