Was anyone surprised by the subjects that were discussed in First District Congressman Jim Hagedorn’s August 21st Hagedorn Report email? Sure, there were a lot of headlines that Congressman Hagedorn could have commented on : Select Intelligence Committee’s bipartisan report on Russian interference in the 2016 election https://www.lawfareblog.com/collusion-reading-diary-what-did-senate-intelligence-committee-find; Trump’s Mankato “Rally of Lies” http://mnpoliticalroundtable.com/2020/08/18/trumps-mankato-rally-of-lies-and-hagedorn-hypes-non-existent-bill/ ; […]
