That's the public story, but neither of them has any real power. All it would have taken anywhere along the line is for someone or several someones to say in unison "oh no you're not" and he would have wilted. As Alvin Bragg has demonstrated, nothing in Trump's arsenal stands up to examination in front of a jury.

Oh Dave, don't underestimate what it means to be owned by the Russians. That goes back to the 70's when he housed the spies coming from Moscow. In Floriduh.

A presidential candidate tried, and failed, to own my dad in the 60's. They offered serious money and power. They weren't playing. Just saying.

I don't underestimate it Hannah, I just don't have a visceral understanding of what it means. I know that the Russians play for keeps by rules that are very different from ours but that's not the same as having the experience.

Fair enough Dave. I don't disagree with you. Just sharing what little frame of reference I have.
