Adam Davidson

From Crooks and Liars:

U.S. national security officials are reportedly ready to “go nuclear” after President Donald Trump’s latest attack on the intelligence community.

In a series of tweets on Tuesday and Wednesday, Trump insisted that the “real scandal” was not that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn lied about his contact with Russia. Instead, the president blasted what he said were “un-American” leaks that led to Flynn’s ousting.

The New Yorker story focused on just one foreign deal - there are scores and scores of other deals to investigate. I'm sure the Trumps are sweating and looking over their collective shoulders, fretting about how many foreign nationals will produce evidence of more corrupt and illegal business transactions.

Ironically, if you were Trump, would you appoint Ted Cruz to the SCOTUS, knowing that one day your very freedom, and the freedom of family members, may rest on a court decision rendered by SCOTUS? LOL

with a highly paid legal department would seemingly be much more thorough doing due diligence vis-a-vis the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act than would a privately owned family business run by an autocratic man-baby.
