the president, huge supporters this, is a total mess right now because this is when they were going through the transition period before the inauguration happened trying to figure out who was going to take what position and even people around for the darkest days of the campaign say the transition period was one of the worst because it was such a mess. it was so all over the place. they say that period it was so chaotic and contributed to a lot of the problems that they are having now with people like michael flynn and michael cohen. mueller has been probing the inaugural committee, and there hasn t been a ton about it in the press and did refer a case to the u.s. attorney in washington. right. and in august the u.s. attorney s office in august on that referral obtained a guilt plea, just reading from the journal story from a washington consultant, unnamed works admitted he used a u.s. citizen to sever as a straw purchaser so a prominent ukraine oligarch could attend the inaugu
anything, about how cambridge analytica operated and then what did he tell donald trump, if anything, about what cambridge analytica was doing. that is crucial because then that ties into back into the russian efforts. you know, this is an important little dot being connected here, i think. and then we have to remember that kilimnick is also charged in the same case as paul manafort now in the two witness tampering charges. but that gets you that gets you back to russian intelligence. and then this guy, patton, basically one of the charges in there that i guess he didn t plead guilty for or did but they re not going to charge him for is the campaign donation to the presidential inaugural committee. someone from ukraine wanted to come, couldn t buy the tickets because that s illegal, had a straw purchaser, so that gets us back to what did the presidential inaugural committee know. remember, rick gates was a big part of the inaugural committee. exactly. so it becomes the mafia

unscrupulous gun dealers then that will apply across the country and so some states may have laws that allow for conceal and carry. some states may not. there s still going to be differences, but what will at least be consistent across the country is that it s a little bit harder to get a gun. now, we can t guarantee that criminals are not going to have ways of getting guns, but for example, it may be a little more difficult and a little more expensive, and, you know, the laws of supply and demand mean that if something is harder to get and a little more expensive to get, fewer people get them and that in and of itself can make a difference. if somebody is a straw purchaser and what that means is they don t intend the guns for themselves, they intend to
