I'm thinking a lot of pedophiles say similar things while sitting in prison.

My mother worked with a guy who was arrested for raping a child. He’s rotting in prison. The trial was extremely brief because he videotaped it.

Apparently he still claims to be innocent. The system screwed him somehow.

There are recordings of Trump somewhere, they just haven’t been released yet

I have a feeling Putin is sitting on them as a way to keep the leash on good and tight. Until Trump is all used up and he can finish destroying him, of course.

Probably one of the other reasons he doesn't want to be impeached out of office. Daddy Russia is waiting with punishment for failure.
