was to spend that money helping humanity. it was just a few months back, if your company ended in dotcom it was a good thing. but at the end of this brutal week on wall street, a lot of analysts think the internet bubble is ready to burst and by this time next year, a huge number of those dotcoms might be dot gone. a year ago, investors were so eager to buy into the internet they were happily ignoring traditional measures of success. sales, profits and growth. but reality has now set in. these upstarts didn t have any income. they were saying we are worth billions of dollars. where s revenue? they didn t have any. when the venture capitalists stopped putting money in, you could time the bubble. you could say you know, if we all believe this fantasy it works. if some of us stop believing, it s a prelude to its failure. most dot-com retail companies will be out of business by next year, eliminating 25,000 out of 30,000 internet companies.
some of the reasons that i explained there. and there has been previous reporting, six months or so ago, about federal investigators looking into the possibility that foreign money might have gotten into trump s inaugural funds. that came up, for example, in the indictment of sam patton, one of the lower profile indictments in which he was accused of setting up american straw purchasers so that a foreigner could actually spend a bunch of money and go to the trump inauguration. but what you guys are talking here is a federal investigation not into the money coming into the inauguration necessarily, but the spending. right. i think what we re looking at is beyond the role of potential foreign influence or foreign money coming into the inaugural. it s looking this investigation, which to be clear is in its very early stages as we understand it is looking at money in, but also money out. and the money in isn t just foreign. it s also looking at who whether individuals or entities giv

potential deal in moskow, he said like i said was peripherally aware of it, but most of my knowledge has been gained since as it relates to hearing about it over the last few weeks. now, that could sharply contradict with michael cohen. what we know from michael cohen s guilty plea last week of having lied about this is that cohen briefed family members. the documents indicate that michael cohen briefed family members of individual one one the company about the project. individual one, of course, is donald trump. and so that michael cohen could be the sharpest contradicter of donald trump, jr. that s right. and remember donald trump, jr. is now the one responsible for the trump organization. so all the real estate deals that they are doing around the world where other foreign governments are trying to put money in, don junior is the one who was aware of all of that and supposed to be keeping the business afloat. so his representations he s only peripherally involved seems at odds w
