I got it. Fuck...I got it. I was trained as a criminal investigator at Georgetown and Harvard, worked as a federal criminal investigator in DC, practiced Criminal Law—including sex crimes and homicides—for years, and was sure if I dedicated myself I’d figure out what Trump is hiding. And now I have.
