One of the guys in our Friday night gatherings at the VFW made the comment that "We'll never regret electing
tRump", to which I added "But sooner or later he'll regret running for President". That brought a series of questions
and I explained that there's been rumors for years that he has been laundering Russian money since the mid
eighties and in today's political environment someone will be looking into that.

Appears we are on the threshold of him regretting ever running for President for crimes larger than money
laundering and our new SC Jack Smith will not be shoving this into high gear but overdrive.
