3. "Sure I sold out the United States"

But look at this swell karaoke machine! And my daughter's condo. And this swell McMansion that I'll never live in again.

You're a frickin' genius, Paul.

More delays!

Also, fyi, intrepid, immaculate researcher SpicyFiles posts documents all day long with screenshots and brief explanations...I can’t understand a lot of what she’s saying, but she’s amazzzing:

She’s got some Manafort docs up now, but she also dives deep into HHS files, Cohen stuff, FEC filings ETC on a daily basis -
