Seth, during Trump's 2016 campaign I stumbled upon stories of two instances of Trump being investigated and found guilty of being one of a group convicted of money-laundering. The first instance was 1998 or 1999, where Trump was fined just under a million dollars and the second was 2015, where Trump's fine was $20 million. The second fine is easily accessed at the U.S. Treasury website. Have you encountered this information before? In both cases the other people found guilty with Trump had Russian names.

Kinda depressing that 'The Donald' could say this & no main stream media organizations thoroughly fact checked it. “I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA—NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING” Especially considering juniors comment about Russia funding their new Golf course empire.

I hate to say it, but this article is scary when you think about this being the same person who had/had complete access to all of our top-secret documents and is about to receive briefings again from US officials. This article should be recirculated so people can remember exactly who DJT is.

Seth, I am a long-time fan of your work, but I am also an old English professor who wonders why you use the comma outside the quotation marks. You aren't British, so this construction, found only in England's style books, is baffling:

“[Putin] couldn’t have been nicer [to me]”, he said the next year; “got along with him great”, he said the year after that.

American style books:

"[Putin] couldn't have been nicer," he said the next year; "got along with him great," he said the year after that.
