Now like some mob boss you think flipping on a subject of an investigation should be a crime. Then you tell us that you understand this, because of people you have worked alongside ... the the people I spoke of.
Well, let me tell you what I think should be a law: I call it the Nothing to Hide law.
Whereas anybody running for president - or any other elective office - should be an open book and have literally nothing to hide;
Any candidate running for president or other elective office shall or appearing on the ballot in any state shall
A) within one week of the convention of his or her party nomination or securing qualification to be a nominee or be on any state ballot shall
1) release to the Federal Election Commission and/or any other appropriate regulatory body
a) full and un-redacted copies of all pages of all tax returns for the prior 8 years;
b) full ,etc., copies of all articles, letters, op eds or other opinions written by you and published
in any newspaper, magazine, E-zine, blog, etc.'
c) full and compete personal financial statement and financial statement for any corporation,
limited liability comapany, partnership or other legal entity in which you have any interest ;
2) present to the same commission or regulatory bodies
a) A complete list of any and all Non-Disclosure or other such agreement
made by you, in your name, or which benefits you, along with the names of all persons or
entities which may harbor any information about you or an event, series of events. or course of
conduct by you since you have been of majority in the appropriate jurisdiction;
b) A signed and sealed Omnibus Release of any and all Non-Disclosure or other suchagreement
made by you, in your name, or which benefits you, releasing any and all persons or entities
which may harbor any information about you or an event, series of events. or course of
conduct by you since you have been of majority in the appropriate jurisdiction;
c) Your suggestions for the appropriate place and format for 5 debates that will be held between
you and any and all other candidates, who, wishes to take part and which shall be scheduled
as appropriate.
B)Anything in the forgoing notwithstanding, any persons or entities mentioned in par 1 (a) above shall be held harmless in accordance with the provisions therein.
C) A Bond in the amount of 93 billion dollars shall be presented to the above regulatory bodies which shall be used, in the event that you do not comply with the above for any reason, which shall be used for the welfare of the people of the USA, for wasting our fucking time.
I am sure that some of you will find that this does not go far enough or, amazingly, goes too far or is otherwise poorly written. It is not intended to be a final draft, so make it better ... do your worst ...
OK, well not actually your worst ...
I cry easily,
Thank you for taking your valuable time to read this.

Frankie, in custody of FBI or marshalls, slit his wrists in the bath tub to avoid testifying against Michael Corleone.
