Money Talks.....

I was talking with a friend this a.m. about this Flynn resignation and the seemingly strange Russian involvement in the election and with this administration. His comment was that this will all be swept under the rug by the Repugs unless there is a precipitous stock market crash in the very near future. His point was that if this scandal starts effecting the stock market that it will force the Repugs to have to take some actions in investigation. He said 'money talks' and if the banksters and the 1%'ers see that it will hurt their pocketbooks - that there will be some action taken.

Does anyone here believe this to be true? Or was this guy just talking out of his butt?

The two things the repukes care about are money and power. So if there is a stock market crash, look for them to take action immediately.
