However, in her speech, Wilson didn’t mention funding for the building, much less claim credit for it or tell the audience how she leveraged influence with Obama to secure it.

Wilson did describe how she helped secure legislation to name the building for two slain agents, but Kelly’s description leaves out that the FBI pressed her to make that effort and that she shared credit with several other lawmakers, including the Republican House speaker and Florida’s Republican senator. Wilson also spoke at some length about the bravery of the slain agents and the FBI in general.
We rate Kelly’s statement False.

Heh. What did you think--someone with actual honor and integrity would stick up for Trump?

Kelly is dangerous though--in his own mind, he is honorable, and the guardian of the nation's honor, in which holy cause ANY means are justified.

Kelly has discredited himself with his involvement in this affair with this easily disproved blatant fabrication to exploit another solemn occasion in order to sully a critic of the fake POTUS, and his failure to mention his being a guest of honor at a President Obama sponsored White House dinner for Gold Star families is disingenuous.
He has made his own mess of the fake POTUS' mess, and it is up to him to own up to it and clean it up, or not.
We'll see about "honor'.

As presidents go, GWB was and is flawed. His intellectual understanding is limited, and his leadership talents practically non-existent. In office, he was always dominated by stronger men. Still, he has some actual ideals, which makes him a paragon of virtue compared to Trump. And, being out of the game, he is free of the ambition and interests and influencers that would surely have him singing a different tune, were he in it.

Damn! Don Q you almost totaled my wife's favorite Bush. She says he walks with a swagger and she likes his pronunciation of "nuclear".

"A deranged animal": Trump’s newest lie about Obama is causing fury inside and outside the military

Trump says he loves the military. His latest assault on Obama shows that he doesn’t.

This evil man believes the stuff he makes up to be real, so in his own mind Obama was really born in Africa. There was someone on MSNBC recalling how Trump insisted his painting was real when the original work of art hangs in a museum in Chicago.
