to justify very restrictive measures that suppress voting. what happens here with lindsey graham and donald trump is a new evolution of course, of that fraud that is used in a much broader sense to perpetrate the big lie but lindsey graham is in many ways treated as roots and using this tired old bogeyman of voter fraud which people in the south do know that it doesn t taint our election and drill that down in georgia and the impact in many way is the people who were working in the election, and there is a moment in, donald trump jr. s transcrt where he istr asked, do you realize that these sorts of claims that you re izmaking, the false claims, that they re inflicting a lot of pain on election workers? and he gives the response of course, that you talk about, no, i m notab familiar with that. so it comes full circle there. one of the other jaw-dropping revelations in these transcripts
despite all of this rhetoric of a self-made billionaire, and to fire people on the show, trump had inherited hundreds of millions of dollars from his father and the new york times alleges that he used complex schemes to avoid paying taxes on his inheritance while doing so. since then, susanne craig and her team have gone on to win a pulitzer prize for their investigative journalism and published multiple additional trump tax exposes all as a result of investigative work and more knowledgeable than anyone else other than trump s own accountants. smack dab in the middle of the holidays, tomorrow morning, the house ways and means committee, is going to publish trump s tax returns from 2015 to 2020. two more years than even susanne craig has ever seen. so tonight, on trump taxes eve,
through. and it echoes back to jim comey and his earliest comments where he had dinner with trump and trump asked him for his loyalty. not loyalty to the constitution, but personal loyalty. and here at the very end, we see people like gina haspel at risk of losing her job, because she was loyal to the country and the constitution, not the president. for anyone who is not getting this point, it s not very subtle at this point in time, trump was about trump. trump was never about america and democracy. heard adam schiff tonight say that he felt like the committee had reached everyone in the american public who was reachable. everyone who could list tonightl truth, and hopefully that message continues a little bit further as this evidences continues to come to light. joyce, let me just follow up with you, because the act of firing jim comey was ultimately investigated by the mueller probe as one of the acts of obstruction ofpr justice.
