I didn't.

His Irish family is from a small village near where my family line is from. A remote part of Ireland.

I am quite familiar with the type: Handsome, charming, hail fellow well met on the surface.
Strong moral core.

But make no mistake if you cross a line there will be hell to pay. They love a bar fight and always win in the end.

Installing his puppets into the highest levels of US government.

But yes it cost him some cash, but it was well worth it.

13. Wasn't this quite obvious from the very beginning?

At least to most of us? What we kept screaming about and what we were all afraid of? Why we all cried when Hillary “lost”?

It’s infuriating that it has taken this long to come to the surface and the asshole may STILL skate. I hope not, but I’m too tired and weary to risk more disappointment. I want him to never be able to hurt another person. I want to know that my country is safe from him. Lock him up!

How many foreign operatives have been given access so far, and to what? Countermeasures must be war gamed and implemented.

Who knows if something was gleaned which may have tipped a first strike to Putin. FFS the Russians seem to have had the keys to the citadel for years, this literally has the potential to be a huge intelligence catastrophe!
