(22,494 posts)"The allegation comes amid reports that the Trump campaign also moved millions in campaign funds to Trumps private business interests. Forbes Dan Alexander and Michela Tindera reported earlier this month that the Trump campaign has pushed nearly $7 million towards Trumps businesses since the president entered office."

(3,438 posts)Aug. 7, 1974.1974 .republican leaders, Goldwater and Rhodes and Scott went over to WH, told Nixon he was doomed; had lost support of congress--next day he resigned. [The Republic/wikipedia] Wow--republican leaders doing the right thing--amazing!
Really don't expect current republicans to do what's right for country--.perhaps Barr but only to save his hide; ensure a pardon from Pence
God talk about an October surprise, this scandal, his taxes just leaked and every fucking corrupt, criminal, perverted thing he's done in his life and while in office [imo this is just tip of iceberg] --it's time for him to resign!
One can wish? So sick and tired if the daily maldad, evil bad things this jerk does.
