They simply take at face value everything he bragged about.

Like when he kept NAFTA 99.99% the same, changed a couple sentences he bragged that he got a totally new deal and they believed him. Like the crap deals he negotiated with China that hurt America, but he said were great, they believed him. And on and on.

His real legacy is that he tried to get rid of out Democracy and hasn't given up doing so yet.

The definites are 45 and Eastman but suggestions may have been one of the "others" was Ghouliani as well as some in the circle, but was probably left vague on purpose.

Thank you, BumRushDaShow and DU for being here time and time again. May justice follow the Committee’s lead.

I know I missed a couple things when Raskin was laying out the referrals (including 2 others -I think "impeding a law enforcement official" and "seditious conspiracy" that were to be included in the report but not voted, on plus referrals of 5 members of Congress to the Ethics Committee (including McCarthy) for refusing to honor subpoenas)... But all and all, I know that they and the staff who have been working so hard on this, will be glad when this is done.
