Time for sanctions

I think we are far past the point that we must demand a tax record and get the results of an FBI investigation into communication between a Russian bank and President Donald Trump’s private server for over 2,000 times.

Why is Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price still free, after insider trading? Why would Trump appoint him to any office? Didn’t Martha Stewart go to jail for the same thing?

Rep. Kevin Nunes, head of a congressional investigative committee, had no business running to the White House. Why is Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner meeting with a Russian banker three times, then lying? Sanctions, sanctions.
