A foreign lead er soft take the dozen white house officials and the people around pompeo that knew about it, the people around bar that knew about this, the people around the white house that knew about this. The people around zolinski that knew about this. Suddenly this little conspiracy expands. And it is something that cannot be contained and barr knows he is on the hot seat now. He can play it cool if he wants to, but a 30,000 Christmas Party at the trump appropriate is not going to protect him, zolinski will have to explain this as well. The you trainians are saying we knew if we didnt play ball that we were not going to get military equipment. This is something that the white house cannot tamp down.
