I once witnessed an armed bank robbery....saw their faces, getaway car, license plate.

But I didn't come forward to the Authorities.

.....because I was saving it for my book.

Anyone who withholds information for a book rather than reporting it when it's critically important is not a journalist. twitter.com/smolderingavo/…

over to the reporters way back when. It was there from the first. And, she's not a journalist...she's a psychologist.

She was estranged way before Trump was elected so she has no inside information about Trump as a president whereas the others on the list have pertinent information about Trump as a president.

She turned over documents in her possession. She had no information about what was going on in the White House.

All she could have added was to say Trump is a jerk and a cheat, which was already public information.

Any duty to disclose is vitiated by more than one person having knowledge?

That's the best sense I can make of your argument, although I'm sure that's just a function of my limited analytical abilities.

If Maggie and others knew, doesn't that just make the others as wrong as Maggie?

if you look for the ? in the URL string, delete it and everything after it, you won't have those trailing characters.
