Now Rusty Shacklord, Jawa Report, writes “Eason Jordan (!) Demands Panel Investigate AP [2]:”
We’ll see how long it lasts, but the stonewalling of the AP regarding the Jamil Hussein scandal has gotten so bad that Eason Jordan (yes, that Eason Jordan) is even demanding that the AP appoint an independent panel [3] to investigate and uncover the truth here,
