Enjoy Priceless Moments

 

Some moments are priceless.

Several summers ago, my then nine-year old son Dawson and I spent the weekend with eight dads and sons from our church at Camp McCall, a boys’ camp in South Carolina.

And why was the officer’s identity and, indeed, all information about his record withheld from the public?

Why did the committee not investigate whether large numbers of FBI agents and informants were ubiquitous among the crowd? After all, progressive New York Times reporter Matthew Rosenberg who was there on Jan. 6 claimed, 'There were a ton of FBI informants amongst the people who attacked the Capitol.' ”
