In reply to the discussion: Jim Clapper Just Nuked the Trump Presidency [View all]Farmer-Rick
(10,163 posts)48. You know I've wondered about that too
Like when the Wall Street Journal does some really good reporting on Trump and Russia. I think in the back of my mind why? It's owned by Murdoch. Why does he rat on his own GOP puppet then praise him on Fox?
I think some of the uber rich are afraid Putin is going to grab it all. That Vlad and Donny are going to carve up the US for profit and they wont get a share of the spoils. So, they want to seem like an enemy that has to be negotiated with. Like Corker pretending he was against the Tax Scam, all the while holding out for some freebies.

Clapper is in a far better position than the rest of the country to say that with authority.

Perhaps I misunderstood you. Who are the "others [who] have observed [the same thing] for months."

Trump hasn't been officially identified and prosecuted yet. Mueller's working on it.
