With all the crazy things that Donald Trump has said up to now, you might think he had already disqualified himself from the office of the Presidency. But, like the EverReady Bunny, he just keeps going and going and going. Every day is a new jaw-dropping moment.
However, there is one bridge that he has not yet crossed. That is the bridge that stretches to Moscow and Vladimir Putin. How much money did Trump borrow from the Russians? Was it $50 million? As we now know, U.S. banks will no longer do business with Mr. Trump. So, why not Russia?
What would be the implications if the potential President of the United States owed $50 million dollars to an enemy of our country? What are the possibilities for espionage and blackmail? What type of threat would it present to our nation? There is the possibility that this has already happened?
But, how can we ever know? Even if he made his tax returns public, there is little reason to believe that he wouldn't try to cover it up. This is a question that Trump's supporters and the Republican Party will have to answer? There is no escape.

(31,823 posts)The one 'group' that seems to be able to obtain this type of information (that Assange guy's) won't ever release it if they have it.
No one is 'making' Trump release his returns/show his connections - and we don't have criminals on the left willing to hack something to get that.
I still think the DNC hacking and the fact that Comey knew for MONTHS it happened reeks as bad as an unflushed toilet at the Watergate hotel.

How big of a problem?
Even the most moronic of Trump supporters would have to scratch their heads on that one, I would think?
