New York Times: “In 1980, under pressure to begin construction on what would become his signature project, Donald J. Trump employed a crew of 200 undocumented Polish workers who worked in 12-hour shifts, without gloves, hard hats or masks, to demolish the Bonwit Teller building on Fifth Avenue, where the 58-story, golden-hued Trump Tower now stands.”
“The workers were paid as little as $4 an hour for their dangerous labor, less than half the union wage, if they got paid at all.” ==========================================
Flynn’s Deeds Are Much Worse Than We Thought[Click] Which raises two questions in my mind: 1) What motivated him? and 2) How big a fish is he going to have to offer up in order to shorten his sojourn in the stoney lonesome? Make that three questions: 3) Will Big Daddy pardon Flynn in an attempt to save his own skin? This is becoming very interesting. And I remember the federal prosecutor who worked with Mueller in the past saying that Mueller likes surprises…
