Seems way down one the list on offences to pursue against Trump.

I wonder how much more of this we see between now and the election, and how much comes out after if he loses. Between score settling and people no longer afraid of Trump, we could get a flood of people piling on about the bad behavior of Trump, his company, and his family.
