What We Know This Morning

Not much more than we knew last night. I monitored Twitter until well past midnight and nothing new came to light.  The only juicy item, if you can call it that,  is that Marvin Austin’s Twitter account has been sanitized. And when I say sanitized I mean it has been wiped off the face of [...]
