An investigation by the FBI revealed that a janitor is the main suspect in the search, however he has not been charged with a crime even though his name in on the warrant.

Okay, Kavanaugh...

the gun plan distributor...

Now this observatory...

Am I seeing a pattern here?

I don’t condone sexual abuse of any kind. This just seems like a flurry of similar charges.

Sure hope officials are able to back their cases against the later two, because the first one is absolutely bogus.

"Sorry to disappoint you but it wasn't an alien encounter"

Has it been proven aliens weren't involved?
