Trump may say many things. Since when has bribe become a secret weapon?

60 minutes covered it and CNN reported on it. Weapon was purchased during the Biden Administration from a Russia Agent in Florida. Really interesting story and the device is small enough to fit in a back pack.

The rule is you say things when it make you sound cool and then declassify anything you get caught with
