He can’t stop confessing to corruption

Trump tweeted yet another admission of his lies and corruption this morning:
Oh, I get it! I am a very good developer, happily living my life, when I see our Country going in the wrong direction (to put it mildly). Against all odds, I decide to run for President & continue to run my business-very legal & very cool, talked about it on the campaign trail…— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 30, 2018
….Lightly looked at doing a building somewhere in Russia. Put up zero money, zero guarantees and didn’t do the project. Witch Hunt!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 30, 2018
As I noted in my Salon column (and as anyone who’s been awake the last three years knows) Trump insisted that he never had any dealings with Russia over and over and over again.
Now the evidence is clear that he was lying and he keeps admitting it in his statements and tweets and he’s trying to say he’s always been open about it and it didn’t amount to anything.
Let’s just say that if he knew about the 50 million dollar “gift” to Vladimir Putin he may have broken a law that he has railed against for years — a law against bribing foreign officials.
I would imagine his lawyers wish he’d STFU. But then, what else is new?
