“It seem pretty clear to me that Trump isn’t going to let this scandal just go away and be forgotten.”
Trump is the friendliest man you will ever meet. Until you cross him. Then he is a vindictive bastard. This isn’t going away anytime soon. He played the Democrats and the Deep States game at the same time and won both. I do see a lot of border wall funding coming in the near future, especially if it keeps the rats responsible for this out of prison.
I think I would be fine with complete border wall funding and comprehensive immigration reform on Trump’s terms to put an end to the investigation into the origin of this hoax.
Once he closes that deal, go full bore on the investigation and lock people up.
