(6,556 posts)I truly believe that this is what is going to happen and have thought so for months. I also have a bad feeling about tRump's telling the congress to ignore the immigration thing until after the 2018 election "when we will have more Republican legislature members to pass our agenda". What does he know that we do not?

(7,142 posts)the 3,979 times that Trump cried, "No Collusion," are going to bigly bite him and his sound machine right in the azz.
I can envision an awful lot of people screaming "No Collusion," sarcastically.

(7,227 posts)Is just now starting to appear: the Russian connected dots to the Brexit vote, and the Trump 2016 election.
"Robert Mueller isnt the only one investigating the Trump campaigns ties to Russia. In the United Kingdom, there are parliamentary inquiries underway that are looking closely at the Russians role in the Brexit vote, and it has become clear that the same players who worked for the Leave Campaign in Britain were also involved in helping Trump win the presidency."
....At the moment, it is a white hot story in England, however, as it has more than adequately provided a smoking gun to prove Russian involvement in the Brexit campaign. But its a web that leads everywhere, including into Cambridge Analytica and the whole Facebook controversy, and including into the Trump campaign and the governors office in Mississippi."
Get on over to the Booman Tribune website, and scroll down and find his June 18th post titled: "The Russia Conspiracy is Getting Revealed."
The British are getting really hot on this so be sure to read Guardian reporter, Carole Cadwalladr's piece on this, too. Have lots of scotch or your favorite handy.

(22,011 posts)"This was material obtained legitimately from inside the Leave.EU campaign. There were names, times, dates. Meetings. Official invitations. Gold deals. And, in a starring role, Ambassador Alexander Yakovenko, a name I knew instantly from FBI documents, who had been named by Mueller as a high-level intermediary between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.
There were references to the content of the astonishing email that Wigmore was said to have sent to his contact at the Russian embassy in August 2016. Farage had been on the campaign trail for Trump when his aide and fundraiser, George Cottrell, was arrested by the FBI on money-laundering charges. Material seen by the Observer suggests Wigmore sent confidential legal documents, including the FBI indictment, to the Russian embassy.
And then there was the possibility of the gold deal. A deal, brokered by Yakovenko, and funded by the state-owned Russian bank, Sberbank, negotiated in the months leading up to the referendum, and announced on 5 July, 12 days after the country voted to leave the EU. There is no public record of whether Banks invested or not. Twelve days later, he tweeted: Im buying gold at the moment and big mining stocks. "

When we retake America, we have to attack Putin very directly. It's life or death.

There are few things more gratifying in my role as an advocate than when a whistleblower trusts me with explosive information (docs, images, etc.) and looks to me to ensure it is released for maximum impact for the public good. Today is another such day. #BuckleUp #Basta
