Closet. there's still financial stuff and the collusion issue. that hasn't been resolved yet and for a president of the united states to just push this away, and ignore his responsibilities to protect our electoral system is horrifying. it's one thing the intelligence agency says something, oh you can say they're hacks, which is what he did. i believe putin. putin is very sincere he says but the intelligence agencies are. now we have an indictment from a grand jury and a highly respected prosecutor. he ignores again the issue. so how do america protect their civil rights, their civil liberties...
