It involves mega-retailer Amazon, their team of fifty attorneys, and the Department of Justice. In short, the Nelson family have been targeted for complete financial destruction.

ROBERT MUELLER’S BELTWAY COVER-UP By using the justice system as a political weapon, Mueller and his supporters in both parties are confirming what many Americans already believe: We are not all equal under one law.
