The former labor secretary issued a grave warning about the incoming commander in chief.
Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich says that a “dark cloud of illegitimacy” hangs over the pending presidency of Donald Trump, and that the only remedy is for Trump to release his tax returns and for the CIA to release its findings about alleged Russian interference in the U.S. election to help Trump win.
This information must be released, Reich said, before the Electoral College casts its ballots next week.
“The CIA has found credible evidence that Russia intervened in the election in order to help Trump become president,” Reich wrote in a Facebook post over the weekend ― referring to a recent CIA assessment, reported by The Washington Post, that Russia interfered in the U.S. election not merely to disrupt the American democratic system, but specifically to help Trump win the presidency.
The former secretary, who served in the cabinet of President Bill Clinton, went on to outline several other disturbing questions that continue to plague the president-elect.
Reich, now a public policy professor at the University of California, Berkeley, cited allegations that surfaced during the campaign that Trump owes “vast sums” of money to Russian oligarchs who have also invested in Trump’s various business enterprises.
Trump has denied the charge, but Reich and others have speculated that it could explain why Trump has not disclosed his tax returns, which Reich said “would show evidence of these deals.”

Amen! There is no doubt that Trump would be an illegitimate president - an impostor. Maybe even a Russian plant due to his close ties to Putin and through his foreign wife's communist family. It's scary stuff. It must be thoroughly investigated and the findings made public.
