Investigation Turns Up Nada Because They Don't Know Where The Migrant Kids Are
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam ordered the review in June hours after the AP published first-person accounts by children as young as 14 who said they were handcuffed, shackled and beaten at the facility, located near Staunton, Virginia. They also described being stripped of their clothes and locked in solitary confinement, sometimes strapped to chairs with bags over their heads.
The state investigators said they were unable to interview the immigrant teens who made sworn statements


Which is worse? 
1. NFL players kneeling before the flag 
2. Trump kneeling before Putin

That guy’s not going to hold back. -
