So what happens now if the complaint is found to be true? Is this a little like closing the barn door after the horse has escaped?

Check the www.palmerreport.com. I don’t know how reliable they are. Apparently there were hints in Michael Wolffe’s book Fire and Fury.

Also check the great Newsweek article by Harriett Sinclair at:

Even? They are the chief sellers of their own souls. They are the ones who voted for him - who else has sold out? It’s just them, them and the GOP Congress.

A week before the news broke that Donald Trump was seeking legation action against a former staffer for going to the press about an alleged affair between two unnamed Trump staffers, a journalist reported that another former staffer tried to convince him that former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and press secretary Hope Hicks were secret lovers.

Half a Chub Pence did say, however, he needed to continue reviewing all of Stormy’s movies, some twice, to make sure he was correct. Can you say fore flushing hypocritical bible thumpers?

On the other hand, if Bill Clinton had settled a claim with a pornstar former mistress during his first election or reelection, don’t you think that Jeff Sessions, Rudy Giuliani, Orrin Hatch, Mitch McConnell, Richard Mellon Scaife and David Bossie would have screamed bloody murder that it was a violation of the election law and an indictable criminal offense?

Don’t let’s suggest that Christian Right somehow has a stronger moral compass than the rest of us. I don’t need to fear some mythical hairy thunderer flinging lightning bolts to believe that treating others as I’d like to be treated and not treating others in ways I’d find abhorrent are good ideas.

In fact, I think the Christian Right (and other fundamentalists of whatever ilk – Hindi, Islamic, Jewish, Buddhist, or even Pastafarian) have a weaker moral compass, because they reduce difficult problems to consulting their book of choice and interpreting the letter of the word rather than its spirit.
