He just seems like the kind of guy who would hire someone to gather uncomfortable and inconvenient data on the people he needs to control, and has probably shown it to them.

trump* may be enjoying the teflon effect, for now, but that has got to start eroding, sometime. At least that's what I have to think so that I'll stay away from the edge of the cliff.

Thank you for the information. I was not aware of that. How fortunate he had friends in high places.
