i heard her speak as well. i am pretty good with accents, but i couldn't quite place hers. it COULD be Russian, but she might also be from Eastern Europe (Hungary, Slovakia, Austria??) I was just trying to imagine the irony of it if she were Russian  Simona Mangiante is not a Russian name. Or Eastern European. Or Greek. |

Bottom line is no matter how you frame it, this is like getting four parking tickets and refuse to pay the court, and the Judge gives you actually 13 days in jail. What a joke. How many man hours and time was wasted on this, and obviously he had nothing to give the Mueller team in any iformational form.How do you know that? Are you privy to the investigation? |

You know, if there is nothing there why are the Republicans and Trump working so hard to shut it down?
Personally, I think there is a lot of somethings. Trump seems to be surrounded by Graft and Corruption. |

Personally, I think there is a lot of somethings. Trump seems to be surrounded by Graft and Corruption. I believe u are correct and it is how he has lived his life.. Not a "Al Capon" type of criminal...more like cut corners, white lie, brow beat others, use wealth to hold off opponents.. "let em sue me..i'll wear em down just by the legal expenses they will aquire" kind of criminal and now in the White House, just a continuation of past life and how he played it..but not having realized, in the position he is in , he's fair game...and it's not going to go away or scare folks to stop....and it's not fake news...it's the truth....and problem is he doesn't know how to play fair and honest..To him, that's for the suckers. |

dj, Trust me here, she is not pointing out any mistake you may have made. That was for me! Heck, I did not know her first name, let alone her maiden name and would have thought, her married name was his, but in this day and age I should never assume that  |

Heck, I did not know her first name, let alone her maiden name and would have thought, her married name was his, but in this day and age I should never assume that nah. it was for me, too. i said that i had heard her speak. but i was mistaken. i thought about it off and on all afternoon. what i heard was a TRANSCRIPT of her speaking, and it was read by a news anchor (including several words which were clearly ESL). i assumed from the transcript that she was not from here, but i couldn't actually tell where she was from. so, i misremembered what i had heard.
