David Letterman on Jimmy Kimmel: “We all see where this is going, correct? It’s managed media. It’s no good. It’s ridiculous. You can’t go around firing somebody because you’re fearful or trying to suck up to an authoritarian, a criminal administration in the Oval Office”

Robert Garcia: “We know that some of the worst crime and corruption in DC is actually found at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. President Trump is profiting from his office more than anyone in history. Through his crypto grifts, he has profited $1.2B”
