Did Teamsters prez have kompromat?

Remember when O’Brien went to give a speech for Donald Trump? I go back all the time and ask myself what happened?

There was something way off. He didn’t come out and endorse Trump in his speech. I wish we had true journalists who would investigate what transpired here. What skeletons are in this closet?

I know it’s irrelevant now but what if he is also a predator who got snared into the net by Trump?

Does anyone know any journalists?

Or even possibly being gay or cheating on wife. I always thought they got him somehow. He looked uncomfortable as hell giving that speech.

Most things aren't a big conspiracy. It takes away our agency to chalk everything up to corruption. Instead we can listen to labor on their issues to see why we're getting less support from some unions.
