That is bad for donald trump that is not, as one liar put i outside the courthouse, boiler plate. that is your boiler plate, through your broiler played ou the window you have a blood poorly played case you have that will appoint life it is not everyone s life. it is not how elections around now, the real watergate ha bigger things, it obviously ha nixon in the white house as an incumbent, et cetera but i do think that the ke here, which they will presen to a jury, every crime, ever lie, every intent was about an election. and the cover-up. i m sorry. someone close to the investigation told me last wee that it is not about what he did out of the election is different the voters it is about the cover-up he di from inside the oval office. sign from inside the oval. every allegedly falsified business record described in the indictment and used as a basis of a charge happens whil he is in - your of his presidency one more legal point that heel we all know -
