13. I read the whole testimony yesterday

This was an excellent analysis of the main points.
Not a lawyer, but what worries me is Trumps ties to organized crime in Russia. And the potential for blackmail.
And money laundering. His golf courses outside the US are not making money. He's been bankrupt 4 times. He owned casinos. And we the people have not seen his tax returns.
Who else owns a piece of Trump and what are they getting in return?

My other thought was, what about his kids? Are they into the same thing daddy was into and does that make Trump even more vulnerable? Nobody is talking about that. They too have been to many of the same places dear old dad has been to !

Who's responsibility would it have been to inform Comey? jalan48 Jan 2018 #11
I'm guessing whoever stopped that info moving up the chain, Volaris Jan 2018 #12
That would make sense. I'm not sure who had the power over the info within the government. jalan48 Jan 2018 #14
