According to The Atlantics Natasha Bertrand, Senate investigators are combing over at least three separate trips Trump took to Russia and the Soviet Union during each of the last three decades.
House Democrats are buoyed by recent revelations from Michael Cohens Wednesday testimony in front of that chambers oversight committee in regards to various Trump Organization business interests. During that dramatic, often tense, day-long question-and-answer session, Cohen appeared to have implicated Trump in various federal crimesincluding possible wire fraud.
Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) methodically obtained a series of leads for Democrats on the House panel.
The president seemed to have been somewhat agitated by Cohens focus on his financial interests, tweeting on Friday about the looming and ongoing investigations into his real estate empire.

(49,064 posts)I understand where it's coming from, but I'd like to see it phrased restricting it to crime.
Many people are "in the closet" because they are in tough situations: women in some muslim cultures, LGBTQ in hard right fundamentalist areas, people with abusive spouses, people hiding a disability for career advancement, etc.
They legitimately don't want someone to find out, but they should not be denied being who they are because of the need to hide it.

Quote from the latter: "I swear there are people Putin pays; Rohrbacher and Trump." Ryan quickly defused the conversation; "we're all family here" ie shut up (over roars of laughter). In bed with Moscow big time.

(8,200 posts)It is a criminal enterprise. Nixon ran a gang of burglars, his vice president resigned because he was a crook and Nixon along with him. Half his administration was indicted and went to prison. The same for Reagan with some 24 convictions. Bush and the one of the evilest men to ever have been government, Cheney took us to war in Iraq. Now this monstrosity is attempting to destroy the government and replace it with a virtual dictatorship. Why it is tolerated is the question.
