Meeting in rome, london, all
kinds of places and the fbi even sent a lady posing as somebody else. Went by the name turk to spy on papadopoulos. In one of the meetin ....
The investigation. Is that right . Thats correct. And you have a citation . Page seven, volume two. Thank you. One of these witnesses was michael cohen, the president s personal lawyer, who ultimately pled guilty to Campaign Violations based on secret hush money payments to two women the president knew and also to lying to congress about the hope for a 1 billion trump tower deal.

You see the members showing up, the staff, theyre showing up. The witnesses will be there. Theyll be sworn in as well. Its a moment that doesnt happen very often if american history. It doesnt and it shouldnt.

They have had their lives disrupted and in some cases destroyed by false accusations for which there is absolutely no basis other than some people desperately wish that it was so.

Mr. Mueller, the credibility of your report is based on integrity of how it is handled. Theres something that i think bothers me and other americans. Im holding a binder of 25 examples of leaks that occurred from the Special Counsels office and those associated with you dating back to a few weeks after your inception and beginning of your work and continuing up to just a few months ago. All of these, all ....
