(1,730 posts)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
