I would have done the same, as well, and in fact, did, the last 3 years my kids were in high school.

The reason? The public high school in Elmhurst, IL (Chicago suburb) wouldn't accept/transfer the high school credits my dual-enrolled (K-8 and high school, simultaneously) kids had earned before 9th grade in another suburban public school district (211). Why was that a problem? IL requires 3 years of high school math credits, algebra or higher, to qualify for a high school diploma. My kids entered 9th grade at the AP Calculus level and there weren't enough high school math classes left for them to take to qualify for a high school diploma under those circumstances.

The end result: We had to buy another home in our former school district, and live in that temporarily for 3 years. In the meantime, and because government moves so VERY slowly, I was able to work with the ILGA to pass a law forcing public schools to accept other accredited public schools' credits so that what happened to my kids and our family never happened to anyone ever again.

The law I spearheaded and was able to get the ILGA to pass with not a single "no" vote, too late for us, but it has helped others in our situation:

The mainstream liberal news media will barely talk about this because it's all about politics/power. Obama (and Hillary) are sacred cows to them.

They will guard Obama to the last and won't let anything implicate him.

I suppose you don't remember when Jamie Foxx gave a shout out to "our Lord and Savior, Barack Obama".

Obama is bullet proof. Hillary, not so much. She may get thrown under the bus.

probably not since there is currently nothing legally requiring them to answer the questions, it's all completely voluntary at this point.

i doubt nunes will get any returned.

I agree. Hillary and Obama will never go to jail let alone get charged with anything.
