Trump Watch June 7 2017

Day 139:

Here comes the shit storm:

All you are going to hear about for the rest of the week is Comey and his testimony…so lets just get it out of the way, so we can start on the laundry list of other problems Trump has.

My guess at this point is that Trump either took large loans from the Russians, or has been laundering money for them.  My other guess is that they tried their hardest to fuck with the election, but that Hillary made their job so much easier by running such a shit show of a campaign.
