I wonder what a full attendees list of those who have been in the inner circle of Trump's & his administration would look like?

And what if there were a complete collection of warnings, thoughts, opinions by this assembly concerning who Trump is?
Would we pay attention then?

At the moment thinking of @MichaelCohen212 and his soon to be released book, and his already released forward.

But the list of people who have been in this administration from the beginning, who they were, why they chose to join, how they were moved out, and why...and what has been said by them since, or not said.
This list is long.
And very few have left without some form of a warning.

Sometimes the warnings have been in their silence. And the breaking of the silence in a dire warning, like Jim Mattis, has been a powerful statement.
A full collection of their statements would be powerful.

Here is a starter list.

Add to this the next layer of associates and those that have had business dealings with Trump and the story would thicken.
Thinking of @MaryLTrump and the recent reveal from Trump's sister concerning Donald's character.

Add to this the layer of those who have gotten something out of Trump while they have made him possible through the catalog of failures.
Thinking of the Russians buying properties, for cash. Banks who continue to give loans even after having been bubbled for $$100's Millions.

How many more layers are there?
Could add the number of lawsuits that have been chipping away at the enterprise. Thinking of the Trump University Case, the closing down of the Trump Foundation, the many others, and the many more that are in the works.

Thinking of David Fahrenthold @Fahrenthold & his work at exposing many of Trump's lies & deceits regarding his business dealings.

Around the entire enterprise is the moat of lies, deceits, deflections, that has been so successful in keeping the enter Trump & Inc protected & operational.

Can thank @Amy_Siskind for cataloging this in real time, week over week.

Remarkably, there are even more layers than this!

A full accounting of the TrumpInc, one expansive to include the original F.Trump and his dealings. The ones dealing w the tax evasions and other tricks, & how the empire was founded would be instructive.

Then there is the entire layer of moral depravity, re his relationship w Jeff Epstein & that well known litany. Business failures. Reports from those who had to work with & for him, like The Apprentice, show...
It is quite damning.

What would it look like to collect all of this evidence in one long, dire, dark, catalog?
Would the believers, faced with all of this, still be able to believe?

Could we, the citizens, even be able to face what sort of man has been leading the country for these last few years?

And what shall we say about the coming election then?

There could be some excuse for the 2016. So much of this was successfully hidden. Now it is in the public square.

If Trump is elected again, even if he manages to steal the election via fraud or "legal" skullduggery, there will be no excuse.

What happens next will determine what happens next.
