A Glimpse From the Future: The World of 2024

By 2024, new laws had saved the American economy, and the world, from falling off a cliff in 2016. They also had made it tricky for some corporate chieftains to navigate the regulatory thicket. Those that could afford RepuCorp’s platinum level E&O policies usually fared well. (Especially if they also contracted with its sister lobbying division.) Those that couldn’t often worked for firms that ended up being acquired by those who could, which to Jonathan’s mind just meant the most competent people ended up being in charge.

In a blistering letter, signed by Liberty Counsel president Mathew Staver and delivered on Monday to Brian Barrett, AP’s Assistant General Counsel, the group charges an October 4 story is “defamatory and presents Liberty Counsel and me in a false light.

DOCUMENT: Obama Administration First Tried To Blame DIFFERENT Youtube Video For Benghazi Attack

The State Department Bureau of Diplomatic Security’s September 12 “Attack Timeline” makes no mention of a Youtube video, and Hillary Clinton received intelligence on September 12 linking the Ansar Al Sharia terrorist group to the attack.
