READER'S LETTER: President does it again

CLINTON — Well, our illustrious president has done it again.

Not only was the investigation of Benghazi put off until after the election, but news of the firing on our drone by Iran was withheld for five days for the same reason.

Wouldn’t you hate to see his secretive administration if this is the open and aboveboard one he promised us.

Alice Peters,

Clinton
