    Fair and likely but Mary doesn’t fucking know anything.

      True, but these are not the words of innocent men.

      Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told Newsweek in a Saturday email that it is “unprofessional” to ask if the binder was sold to Russia. “What proof do you have?” he asked.

        It sounds like Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung also has no clue, but he’s seen this one enough times to know that his outright denial would probably be contradicted by Trump within the week.

        Ah, the ol’ Criminal reverse burden/onus of proof. Counter with the old motherly trick, why might I have reason to even need to bring this up with you…

        What would Mary do/There’s something off about Mary…

        I don’t think a spokesman would know one way or another.

        It’s depressing that question is also applicable to the Biden impeachment hearings.

          It’s applicable, but it’s also not being used because Biden didn’t do anything. You don’t say it’s unprofessional to ask the question and then ask what proof do you have, especially as a spokesperson. It’s ‘how to be ridiculous and look like you did it 101’.

      This whole binder story smells like the kind of news stories we were fed during the early years of his presidency. It’s so 2017, throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.

      We don’t need any new controversies. We need to see the felonies that have already been charged be prosecuted intelligently and effectively.

      Yeah, I don’t believe it, but only because he’s too incompetent to have kept that kind of high treason a secret.

      I absolutely would believe that he kept it with his poop magazines and it was stolen, or copied, by the Carpet King of Tampa, or a foreign intelligence asset. Either one is just as likely.

        He’s honestly stupid enough that he’d be bragging about the money he made from the sale if he did sell it

          “I think NATO is going to be very surprised…I had the best Generals, they wouldn’t be surprised…the traitor generals who supported the election hoax and Joe Biden, they’ll be surprised because they aren’t good, okay, they’re bad, very bad. My dad, very smart, so smart, he always said sell your books when you’re done with them. Did you know binders are books? No one knew, but they are. I’m very smart and very good at deals. I make the deals, I sold a book for 50 million dollars, a book? Can you imagine? Joe Biden wouldn’t of gotten $20, so dumb. I got the most votes, ever, can you believe that?”

          That’s my point. I don’t believe he sold it to the Russians. I can absolutely believe that his actions directly lead to being aquired by foreign agents, or the Carpet King of Tampa.
