Did I miss something

With the Richard Engel story?

Yes, I watched about half of it.

I turned it off because Engel made it clear, from the beginning, that it’s a licensing agreement, there was not a direct connection between the trump organization and this tower.

Is it a scandal? Sure, his name is tied to a place rift with criminal activity. Does it mean he is? Unless I missed some massive revelation in the second half, no.

I’m not defending him. I also don’t want Democrats putting all there eggs in the Panama basket when there is A LOT more stuff that 45IQ is tied directly too that will get him impeached and sent to jail.

If I’m wrong than awesome, I missed it, full steam ahead. Otherwise, things like Trump firing Comey while FBI was investigating Flynn for trying to kidnap a US citizen and fly him to a Turkish prison island for $15 million dollars is a much bigger deal.

The Trump organization clearly doesn't care about with whom it does business. There are much hotter issues.
