Add to which, the names they'll be posting are small donors, not fatcats and lobbyists.

recording the live feed to get the names. They can always turn the audio off and just sit there and start writing down the names.

My response to the message is that, if it is truly about the people and not you, why are you asking them to send you money? It is like when you get a notice that you won something but they want you to send money to ship the item to you.

You just know that the geniuses who work for him will at least let one or two of those pass.

Actually, just post the transcript on the White House web site for all to read.

The "pageantry" is all bullshit.

The "letter" approach is how he will probably answer Mueller's questions.
