...about shady deals, or even illegal deals with known terrorists. There's plenty of evidence of that already and the Republican party isn't phased. It's gotta be something really disgusting, really shameful. I mean, what laws hasn't Trump broken with ample evidence to back up the accusations and his base couldn't care less. No big deal. It's only a big deal when the Democrats are accused of it (Al Franken?) so I rather doubt they are worried about election fraud on the Republican side, or bribes, or campaign violations, money laundering, or whatever. It's something that is vile and a lot of them are terrified. And it could be that their families are threatened. I hadn't thought of that before.
