Some of you recall Orly Taitz the dentist-lawyer-realtor who was tRump's main conspiracy theory partner fanning the flames of birtherism, questioning Barack Obama's citizenship.
Taitz name sorta popped into my consciousness a bit out of the blue, so I dug up her bio.
Orly Taitz is originally from Moldova, formerly known as Soviet Moldova until 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Union, today the country is referred to as a "constituent republic of the USSR" it's now the Republic of Moldova.
Not to go to deep into any crazy conspiracies of my own, but it does seem a bit funny, not the ha-ha kind.
Had tRump been compromised back then, was he being the "useful idiot" ?

I've remarked for years that it was acting less like a political party and more like a racketeering organization. I've suspected some kind of criminal influence for a very long time, only it didn't fit the pattern set by the usual mobsters taking over unions and then going legitimate in business backed by strong arm tactics.
I think a few Congressmen are waking up to the fact that all that advice and all those laundered contributions had strings the size of suspension bridge cables attached to them. They were chosen because they're chickenshits, not too smart and very cowardly.
About the only real mistake they've made so far is in choosing Dolt45. They didn't do enough homework on him, didn't see who and what he really is, a raging narcissist with a few other major screws rattling loose and no knowledge of governance.
Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do beyond calling our folks in Congress and keeping their feet to the fire. No help is coming from the top of either party and Comey is still sitting tightly on all the information the FBI has dug up. We're a captive audience, stuck watching this drama play out.
It will be interesting. That much I think we all know.
