“I’m a Bills fan. I’m not a Gucci-loafered lobbyist. I’m not selling a book. I’m not a celebrity seeking publicity. I won’t be profiting in any manner from my appearance here today, or future appearances. In fact, your investigation and others into the allegations of Trump campaign collusion with Russia are costing my family a great deal of money. I’m paying for this in the only way an average guy can: I have liquidated my children’s college fund.”
Former Donald Trump senior adviser Michael Caputo testified behind closed doors Friday before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and tore apart committee members for accusing him for playing a role in Russia’s election meddling.
Caputo posted his opening and closing statements on PoliticsNY, a site he runs, following his testimony.
In his opening statement he went after Democratic committee member, California Rep. Jackie Speier, for charging Caputo for being Russia President Vladimir Putin’s image consultant back on March 20.
“Contrary to Rep. Jackie Speier’s comments in your March 20 public hearing, I was never President Vladimir Putin’s ‘image consultant.’ To the contrary, a simple Google search would have revealed a great deal, including my July 2004 op-ed in the Washington Post, written after my colleague was murdered in Moscow,” he said.
ht/ all too much
I bet Mueller and his huge team are all making bank, and able to send all of their kids, grandkids, mistress babies, etc. to college.
Keep hope. It costs too much to gaslight the whole country indefinitely. Unsustainable.
That’s infuriating: forcing somebody to use money saved for his kids’ education to defend himself from dishonest, careless, reckless, grandstanding, partisan, malevolent, lazy politicians.
(Tautologies Я Us)
I wonder what they could do if everyone told them to just go stuff it every time they were confronted with these idiotic accusations. I wouldn’t give them the time of day.
Democrats reusing 500 year old playbook on Trump.

Me. Caputo has my sympathy, but if he thinks he can shame the democrats on the committee, he is sadly mistaken. They are incapable of feeling any shame.
