Ashley Turton, wife of the Obama administration’s House of Representatives liaison, Dan Turton, was found dead in a burning car Monday morning, Roll Call and other news outlets are reporting.

    Very Strange. In 2 weeks we have Ashley Turton dieing in a car fire, before that was JOHN WHEELER that was murdered an his body dumped in a dumpster. I wonder if this how the people in Germany and Russia felt when political people started dieing.
