Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

Up to half of Americans have used a Buy Now, Pay Later loan through companies like Afterpay, Klarna, and Affirm.
But Trump's attacks on the CFPB limit our ability to monitor these lenders and protect consumers.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it wonβt work. Iβve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.
