Your #62 is a sensible reminder.

OTOH, Joe D. is an excellent attorney. He, along with his particularly well-qualified law partner are very much involved in the U One lawsuit.

As a result of their legal work, they may be in a position to confidently state, "There is compelling evidence the Russian government was given "aid and comfort" in the form of military capability that presented a clear warfaring threat to the U.S."

Schiff stated on the record there was evidence of Russian involvement in 26 state elections. Coincidence?

There can be no doubt there is much more we in the public are not aware of.
