Which book are you referring to that "there isn't much in it that we don't already know". I am finding that to be the case with Michael Schmitt's book but I am only about 1/4th done. Slow reader. As background though, his book focuses a lot on Comey and McGahn and I have also read Comey's book, so I know a lot of Comey's background already. McGahn.. not so much. As for the "Don't buy books by Crooks", I guess you are referring to Michael Cohen. I understand where you are coming from, but I think he knows a LOT of shit on Donald Trump, for which he is the ONLY one who has served any time it. Yeah, every time I saw him on TV, I wanted to punch him in the face and I wanted to see him go down for his complicity, but he seems to have come clean in the end.

Thing is, of the 5 languages she claims to speak, Russian isn't one of them. ancianita Sep 2020 #21

Heard the 5 languages is another lie. Also heard her story has been embellished a lot. Illumination Sep 2020 #27

She can say, "Leave the money on the dresser" in five languages. OMGWTF Sep 2020 #55

LOL! You NAILED IT! I was being polite to her with my post but Her & Tramp were awfully chummy Illumination Sep 2020 #57

If she actually speaks 5 languages, I hope she doesn't speak the others generalbetrayus Sep 2020 #74

I never really believed she had a facility for languages since she can barely speak English smirkymonkey Sep 2020 #84

That's an interesting assessment, Illumination. Totally Tunsie Sep 2020 #66
