except what he put out. Well, investigative sources normally lag at least a couple of days while they...investigate, of course. If there's news here, we'll be hearing more.

Thanks, Frogg, for letting us know about this in case it turns out to be significant.

I was uncertain about Twitter for this reason. Adam Khan links to sources, though. And the sources are solid--primary sources, Haaretz, Business Insider, for example.

because I'm repeating myself here and elsewhere: where is the MSM? Twitter is the site for so. much. investigation. Much of the media is so far behind the curve.

when his competitors were raking it in during an economic downturn. This explains it.

Trump was only one of many casino owners, after all, and of course others were watching and shaking their heads, and talking about, his many mistakes. And other business people in general. Then of course there are investigative journalists, like Kurt Eichenwald for Newsweek, who wrote about it. And Trump biographers. And so on.

No doubt there's still plenty of room for connecting any new dots that turn up though, such as ones occasionally leaked by intelligence services of various nations.

He has been investigating drumpf's ties to Russia particularly his financial ties. Apparently, he tweeted these connections earlier and now is retweeting what he has found. I read them all and was completely shocked at the amount of information I had not previously read. Quite a few of the msm reporters I follow on twitter also retweet his information. Also, Scott Dworkin is sharing quite a bit of info as well.

Never heard a peep about this during the election. I always suspected drumpf was doing that with dirty Russian money. This is a direct link. There are 22 different tweets tying the orange moron with Russia/Putin.

are determined to toss America into the frikken trashcan of history.

Any republican who dodges both taxes and the draft, and still earns the meek obeiscance of propagandized republican proles, and then engages in systematic and diabolic treason, creates a global sad.

sick. sick republicans.
