Trump’s Stonewall Is Beginning to Crack

theatlantic

To date, the cover-up has worked about as well as President Donald Trump could have hoped.
Almost four years after Trump declared his campaign for the presidency, and more than 30 months since he won that office, he has successfully kept secret almost all the things he wished to keep secret. How much debt does he owe, and to whom? How much of his income derives from people who do business with the U.S. government? How much of his income derives from foreign sources? Who are his business partners, and do any of them present ethical or national-security concerns?
These basics of post-Watergate official disclosure have all been suppressed.
Incredibly, even after the delivery of the Mueller report, the American people still have only the haziest idea of Trump's business connections to Russia and Russians. Do those connections cast any light on why the Russian government was so eager to elect him president in 2016? Perhaps that information is held somewhere within the Department of Justice or the FBI, but citizens and taxpayers can only guess.

  1. It is so cool to watch opponents do themselves in.

    Rather than admit that it was the Democrats who commissioned the dossier that was built through collusion with the Russians and that lead to the attempted take-down of a sitting President, those intent at all costs on destroying his Presidency just assert what they have asserted for over two years: that there is and was White House collusion.

    Good thing Senator Graham and Attorney General Barr are wise to these tricks.
