11. Remember Robert Fiske and Kenneth Starr? Special prosecutor and independent counsel were

tasked with investigating Vince Foster's suicide, Whitewater (which the Clintons lost money on), and investments in cattle futures (in which the Clintons made a $99,000 profit). These episodes were seen by the gop as serious enough to warrant a special prosecutor, 10s of millions of dollars of investigations, depositions by a sitting president, etc. They lucked into a blowjob and a blowjob coverup.

What we are hearing about in this administration is orders of magnitude more serious, both in terms of the amount of money involved and the FOREIGN country providing it.

IIRC, the Clintons invested 1,000 and made 100,000 on cattle futures and the RW went nuts. The amount of money involved in all the Trump and Trump associations with Russia is astronomical and includes the Cyprus Bank, Russian money laundering through NY and Trump Tower, Trump profiting 50 million on a quick turnaround of real estate to a Russian/Ukrainian, the most profitable corporation in the history of the world contributing its CEO to the administration, our POTUS potentially dividing up the world with the richest man in the world -- head of Russia. We aren't even talking about millions, or billions...it's TRILLIONS of dollars on the line.

From the right...crickets.
