We keep forgetting that tidbit. While he was campaign chairman, while he was arranging Russian crime, while he was helping Pence with the transition, while TrumpCo set up shop in the White House.

There might have been taps on Gates for even longer, and Gates actually officially worked with them until March.

Papa Doc wearing a wire might just be icing on the cake.

(Also: what kind of weird shit do I talk about that this dude’s name keeps autocorrecting to “Papa Doc?” And why does Apple like brutal Haitian dictators so much?)
