A Tale Of Ties And Tape

Taped ties:

1. Red ties worn by Trump, knotted too long for some inexplicable reason, with a piece of Scotch tape on the back to stop the short end from peeking out. Pathetic, but not very interesting.

2. Russian ties being set up or discussed by Trump or his associates in a situation where the conversation is recorded, i.e. "caught on tape". Quite interesting indeed.

There are rumors aplenty of recordings where hapless Trump associates are caught in the act of committing crimes, or discussing crimes they either committed or are planning to commit. The most recent rumor of that kind is that there are recordings of Newt Gingrich arranging shady deals with the Russians, but he is not the first to be mentioned, nor will he be the last. Donald Trump's mantra "there is no evidence" is most definitely not true. Over the past few months, evidence has been piling up as it is collected, and soon it will be released in a big, fat batch of lawsuits that will be both fascinating and depressing to watch.
