The judge going through papers. Sometimes what we might see will be at times repetitive or dry. Yet what you are looking at is where these individuals will be judged for their roles in t

That was all in this thursday night, alex wagner tonight starts right now. Good evening, alex. Night, a good evening, thank y friend as always. Thanks to you at home for joining me this evening.
