Russiaburger: The Trump-Russia Scandal Unwrapped

[ffr]

...the only question is whether the burger is a run-of-the-mill cheeseburger or a XXXL Fatburger that gets caught in the throat of a president who sure loves him some fast food.

First: Read the Fine Print

The connections between Trump and Russia go well beyond anything that transfixed the nation in scandals of the past, including Watergate. They fall into three categories. There’s the election-related cooperation. There are the subsequent national-security breaches. Then there’s the cover-up.

Next: The Meat of the Matter

Despite the obsessions of the Nunes memo, the FBI’s investigation into election tampering goes well beyond Carter Page and the Steele dossier. The source of the information that really prompted the FBI to open up an investigation in July 2016 came from an altogether different source.

It came from the Australians.

Also as part of the cover-up, a number of Trump officials have “misremembered” their contacts with the Russians.

Of course, much of what the Trump administration does on any given day can be attributable to sheer incompetence. This isn’t reassuring, but it isn’t necessarily illegal.

But greed is the through line in the Russia story, the plot that holds everything together — the special sauce that gives the burger its zing.

If Mueller can identify exactly how Trump and his cronies broke the law to swell their bank accounts — never mind the tainted elections or the compromised national security — then the president will be hoist by his own pecuniary petard. - LobElog

A good read for the person questioning why tRump hasn't been impeached and gone to prison by now and who questions their own sanity, because of the conservative cover-up we're all witnessing.

1. Follow the NRA Roubles

That's what will finally grab America's attention when Mueller reports.
