        Do you have a source for that? All I’ve seen was cheeto denying he know who taint was and then Florida, shockingly, running them out of town by investigating the taint brothers.

          When asked about the Tates at the White House on Thursday, President Trump said: “I know nothing about that.”

          But the brothers have been the subject of recent high-level discussions between the US and Romania.

          Romanian officials say US counterparts brought up the brothers’ case with the Romanian government earlier this month, a story first reported by the Financial Times.

          And Trump special envoy Richard Grenell [raised the issue again at a security conference in Munich.

          Hurezeanu said the Tates were mentioned during that conversation, but denied being pressured to release the pair.

            Thanks!

            This seems like a personal crusade of Grenell especially considering cheeto’s desire to take credit for anything happening and Florida almost immediately trying to get them to go anywhere else.

            I have yet to see a source of dipshit in chief demanding anything, which was the original claim.

              Grenell is following the will of the admin. Him not taking direct credit gives him plausible deniability for not being associated with a sex traffickers while his base can give him credit so it’s a win win for him

          Why’s the man being showered with downvotes for asking for a source? I feel like this thread is a constructive conversation…
