Drip, drip, drip. Also, it shows that bringing it out into the public by testifying under oath may be the only thing that will protect the targets of these mafia style hits.

At least one anchor was visibly angry, kept reading and re-reading the texts, wasn't letting it slip into both-sides-ism.

To me a HIT on an AMERICAN AMBASSADOR was being discussed by TRUMP ASSOCIATES. There is no other way to interpret it. I want that to be the headline on every newspaper and site in America. It should be.
