In closing, Trump is a slow learner. Both sides attempt to glean opposition research on the other side. Politics is a dirty business. Being able to convince your side that your clean and pious is the name of the game. If you examine the Democrats history of working with other governments for research, it could be stated they are much worse. But what if you expose the “truth”, ouch! If somebody considers that the wrong truth, watch out! Hopefully, Trump in defending himself, is not forced to pull transcripts from prior administration to show their dealings with foreign governments.
That would not be good for America.
