The Koch's money should be confiscated as enemies of America.

Was it their idea to steal America's national secrets that Trump sold? It's the kind of thing they would fund. I bet they paid Judge Aloose Cannon for something along her life trajectory.

Probably Putler, then the Saudis and all IQ4.5 could see was free money for his pockets.
If the Kochs saw a way to make $$$ off of it, they too wouldn't have a problem with it.

It will be interesting to see what other dark money tendrils are uncovered. Also can't wait to see how many times Ginni Thomas' name pops up on these phones.

10. America has suffered more from the Kochs than faux news.

And that is a bunch. To really make America great again we should get rid of reaganomics and its tax structure, the Telecommunications Act, faux news and Citizens United. Not necessarily in that order. Fat chance, I know.
