1. What else is he hiding

And lying about?

[Angry Dragon]

2. I want to know who he sold it to??

3. What is the profit between when he should have divested...

and when after being in a position to influence the value he "sold" it?

NOW we have a record of corruption!

4. No, he needs to be fucking gone! nt

5. Does this mean that if someone lies or

breaks the law all they have to do is "take it back"? Oops, I commited treason... sorry, I'll stop it now. All is forgotten.

How convenient.

8. So.................

10. Now he's forgiven..

[George II]

11. Hope not. Not sure of the what he said, but did he lie to Congress during the confirmation process?

[Miigwech]

6. Soooooo

I guess that's it then.

[George II]

7. Too little, too late. Lyin' Wilbur. Lock him up!

9. Gee, that was a fast deal. I can't get my lawyers to wrap up any deal in less than 3 months

much less 3 days.
And that's just to sell something to Hollywood for 25K
I wonder if he assigned the rights to someone and he'll be able to get them back after he's done in DC
