8. 5 days before the election in 2016, let's go back to that peculiar time

The world had already been told about the "grab 'em by the pussy" video and many of us had seen it and shared it. Hillary's emails had been leaked, and James Comey was in the process of announcing that the investigation was about to reopen. Meanwhile the polls had all been saying that Chump would probably lose, and even Chump believed he was going to lose.

Why would he willingly blow another $10 million of his own private cash reserves for a last-minute media blitz, with just 5 days to go before the election? If we know anything about Chump, we know he's the cheapest tightwad on the planet. He'll never spend his own money for anything, especially when he thinks he's gonna lose anyway. Why bother? And yet, he DID exactly that. He spent $10 million of his "own" cash for the final media blitz. Well ... he said it was his own money, but we never really knew.

Now we know where that money came from - and it wasn't from Chump but from someone who stood to gain if Chump won the election. Was el-Sisi the only Arab ruler who would benefit if Chump won? Of course not - all the Middle Eastern countries were ready to jump in and they probably did. We just need to dig a little deeper and find their carefully-hidden emoluments.

Here's an example, once Chump was installed in the White House, all of a sudden his Washington DC hotel was making money hand over fist. Oddly almost all of the customers who booked the high-priced hotel suites were Middle-Easterners. What a coincidence! I'm not a federal investigator but it took me 2 seconds to figure that one out.

All those chants of "Lock her up" the ChumpHumpers hurled at Hillary, and there was only one person who deserved to be locked up. Then and now!
