think most people know, there s no cater light that goes on when you re walking around when you re blacked out. and that doesn t mean that you re passed out. people all the time go beyond their drinking capabilities and do things that they regret the next day. i don t really buy that, i do buy the stories that i ve seen in the new yorker, it s hard to get people in this boys club to talk. or to go on the record out of fear of retribution because of the close knit circle that existed at georgetown prep and yale college. let me ask you this, congressman. the reason this fbi investigation is taking place is because of republican senator jeff flake, he insisted on it. i want to play for you what he told 60 minutes last night about his decision. you announced you re not running for re-election, and i wonder could you have done this if you were running for re-election? no, not a chance. not a chance?
now top donor to the republican national committee who raised money with donald trump trump jr. now gets a play mate pregnant and michael cohen is the guy who negotiateded the hush payment it seems. and it seems that the wrong doing or the alleged wrong doing is all about money. and the special prosecutor is following the trail of money. something that this president did not ever want to disclose. the trail of money is really where it all lies. and again, it s about that circle, that close knit circle to protect donald trump, the civilian and now, the president. and this president has withheld, but he does a lot of talking about if he had not done a lot of talking about this, maybe a lot of this would not be right now. he has not listened to the advice of attorneys and now, you re here at a point where they re following the trail of money and more is being
