Every time I mention the corruption and Trump's family making money off any federal response, they just blush it off as "they are smart to make money off it" or "I am just a Trump hater". Unless we can find a transaction that Putin directly send hundred of thousands/millions to Trump's account, I don't think it will change any minds.

So yes, this has more to do with getting Trump when he is out of office (or god forbid he wins re-election).

I am an first generation immigrant and my parents nearly don't speak any English. How do their language get translated and passing through in other language is a big question mark I have? I suspect my local Chinese radio station has a lot to do with it because they keep lying about how great Trump (and his response to COVID) is.

meant that his documents would be instantly plastered all over the Internet. That was never going to happen even if they were directed to be turned over immediately. There are ongoing investigations that will continue past the election, and the public wouldn't see the documents until after those are concluded - if ever.

Since Pence cannot pardon him on State charges, Donnie’s only hope now is to prolong the outcome of Vance’s investigation by winning re-election. He’s going to now be much more desperate to win, so it’s going to get extremely ugly.
