Interesting that this revelation came just a few days after the big Trump/Putin meeting where they took no notes and didn't release any joint statements.
Hmmmmm......... Could the pee tape be far behind?

(17,984 posts)I don't think tRump has as much influence with congress as Pootie would like. The real question is, How many congress people can Russia blackmail as well? Anyone who caves at this point should be singled out as having joined in collusion. Could make it a lot easier for Mueller to identify the next person to investigate.

KILLS TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE: Deals with a true security threat...and...avoids embarrassment over the lack of health care legislation.

I don't know anything... these are just my opinions. But I do believe you can bet your bottom dollar that what we know barely scratches the surface.
