ESPN:Arlen Specter's Son says FG Offered Campaign Cash to stop Patriots Spygate probe in 2008

[Best_man23]

"Follow-up conversations with the people closest to Arlen Specter -- his oldest son, Shanin, a Philadelphia personal injury and medical malpractice attorney, and Charles Robbins, Specter's trusted longtime communications aide and the ghostwriter of two Specter memoirs -- revealed this: The man who dangled campaign cash if Specter were to drop the Spygate inquiry was none other than Donald J. Trump."

Not only that: (emphasis is mine) Trump had told Specter he was acting on behalf of Robert Kraft.

1. So, now we are finding out tRumps DOJ

was spying on CNN.

[Botany]

2. This is the first time I have heard of this attempted bribe* by Trump but the media (and DU) knew...

... of Trump's crimes, that he wasn't really a billionaire, that the Apprentice was phony (funded by Russia??),
all his law suits, his con man act, not paying his bills, his ties to both the NYC's Italian & Russian mafia, his scams,
drug use, cocaine and sex parties, his business failures, and so on and yet in 2016 all we heard about was HRC
and her emails.

The mother fucker shouldn't have been anyway near the White House.


* Funny isn't Trump a big Tom Brady, Bill Belicheck, Craft, and Pats fan?

In another context, it could be described as an embarrassment of riches.

Not so much, in this one.
