What mysteries of the past four years would you like to see solved?

What mysteries of the past four years of hell on wheels would you like to see solved? Not necessarily the most important ones, the most damning, the most ostentatious, the most egregious, but instead, the ones that have nagged away at your subconscious for the past four years?

For myself, I'll suggest three, though if I thought for more than a moment, I could easily go on.

1) What was the information being shared between the Trump Tower server and Alfa Bank?
See https://www.justsecurity.org/72262/the-trump-alfa-bank-server-mystery-resurfaces/

2) Did the infamous rumored "Pee-Pee tape" of the Steele Dossier actually refer to "PedoPhile" as has been suggested?

3) Who was the Melania double? Who decided when to use the Melania double, and why? Was the poor woman ever paid? How many in the White House knew exactly what was going on with her? Who coached her, handled her wardrobe, spirited her to and from drumpf's presence when she wasn't working?

What happened to all that PPE that Jared was bidding (with government money) against medical professionals to horde?

... The Trump taxes and financial history. I'm sure it shows he's a crook. Let's see 'em.
... The Trump Tower meeting was attended by a "translator" from Russia. So the Russians likely have a tape?
... Is there a Jeffrey Epstein - Trump connection?
... Are there reasons certain people turned into Trumpsters, like blackmail?

out when the mortgage came due on 666 Broadway and Jared had no way to pay it?

What essential intelligence did Donny Bodybags give to Vlad while the two of them were a-courtin'?

Right-wing, dark money forces have learned a lot from Donny Bodybags about how to destroy our Democracy and turn America into their personal ATMs. What are they planning RIGHT NOW?

Couple of things here. Trump seemed to be doing things on cue. He would often look down at notes when he was saying stuff. I want to know who was helping him coordinate the coup. I just can't believe he was doing all this on his own. Also the unredacted Mueller report.

What was Trump’s relationship with Epstein?
Under that heading was Trump also involved with his pedophilia? How could a convicted pedophile accumulate such wealth (include his good friend the bankrupt real estate mogul). Who killed Epstein while he was in custody? Does the Qanon conspiracy run parallel with Epstein in real life?

most things . Things we probably already have an idea of but more specifics.

Also maybe not as important but his conversation with North Korea's Kim . I really think Kim convinced him he would be able to build property there and they would open it up to tourism and other shit.

is one that bothers me too.

Mine is mostly Russian related.

Just how deep was the Russian conspiracy.

Does he have kompromat on all the Rep. ass lickers. Lindsey Graham more specifically.

Wed Feb 10, 2021, 07:09 AM
Feb 2021

is "No one in particular." This four year run of an empty vessel serving as a figurehead has been nothing else than a slimy, boiling pit into which every conceivable special interest has been able to dip a straw in and take a drink. Pure, unadulterated greed, meanness and unabashed catering to anyone willing to bribe, cajole or grovel. An entire political party, with aid from deep pocketed special and foreign interests has managed to keep things afloat for four years. If there really was any kind of evil genius pulling the strings, I'm sure they could find better lawyers. What we are seeing now is just the end of the line.
Otherwise....I am still curious to know what David Pecker knows. Not intensely curious, just waiting in a checkout line and having the urge to peek at a National Enquirer type of curious.

Reagan, Bush II, and Trump all strike me as figureheads who deflect from who is really running things. I doubt Jarvanka is smart enough.

20. What kompromat does Russia have on GOPers?
Wed Feb 10, 2021, 08:26 AM

Who co-signed on Trump's Deutsche bank loans?

How did Trump pay cash for his Scottish golf courses?

What US intel did Trump hand over to Putin?

Does much does Trump and his cabal of criminals have in secret offshore accounts? (and what's the source of the funds)

How deep in our data infrastructure, does Russia have listening/data manipulation ability?

What do our allies know about Trump's corruption and relationship with Putin?

Where are the 20MM missing COVID vaccine doses?

Supporting our newspapers has never been more important, as they have a lot of work to do, yet resources are scarce.

I do have to say that I've wondered about most all of these things that you've listed.

I would like to believe that most democrats plugged into the news would also be wondering. I wonder if the pressure is on for answers.

Along the lines of "what did A say to B?" I do wonder if anything will eventually come out about what Comey presented to House and Senate members in highly classified briefings that left them shaken back in March 2017:
https://americanindependent.com/watch-lawmakers-appear-shaken-after-comey-briefing-on-russia/

I know that the new administration needs some time to start work on righting the worst of the wrongs of the prior administration, but I hope that after that, some of these mysteries will be resolved. Perhaps with public officials finally responding to freedom of information requests, and the hard work of investigative journalists.
