1. KGOP needs to change its name: RussianPublicans

The Republicans and their ethical role model, Tax-&-Draft Dodger-in-Chief Comrade Casino (R) are engaged in wholesale treason against America and the American people.

63. I'm stealing that ...

KGOP.

You are welcome to it

We may need to give this a Russian name to update it.

4. I think there is more

Eventually we will find proof they can't brush away. I see more all the time but can't connect the dots yet. Trump is as dirty as it gets.

[riversedge]

29. Yes, I see pieces of the Trump Russia puzzle all over the place but not connected yet. Time

is our friend I believe.

[ananda]

37. Logic 101 says that we will NEVER find proof ..

.. that they can't brush away because they literally
hold all three branches of government.

[Roy Rolling]

64. Proof

In the world of today, the proof will be the absence of something.

As in, "New York City was NOT attacked by Godzilla today. Trump being president scared him away from Manhattan."

I can't wait to see what concrete case they try to build on a foundation of air.

[LaydeeBug]

11. It was a coup.

I am begining to understand more of the moving parts now because
Russia was not only spreading dirt on HRC along w/fake news but they
also were hacking into key states voter d-bases and with that knowledge
"they" were able to target the # of voters that needed to be suppressed
or votes that were needed to be flipped.

Trump and McConnell had knowledge of these actions too.

This info on Russia owning Trump makes more and more sense.

[malaise]

49. I remember asking during the campaign if all his talk about the system being rigged

was because he was going to rig it.

Still I didn't think he'd win.

[we can do it]

56. Same here.

[brush]

65. I think you're right about the Russians hacking into voter bases in key states

Remember late in the campaign trump diverted his plane to Wisconsin and even the pundits were wondering why he would fly suddenly to a traditionally blue state at such a late stage in the campaign.

Bet he was steered to do that to make it look like his late campaign appearances swayed the voters needed to win their electoral college votes.

Something smells big time. It was too precise — someone figured out that 80k votes out of millions cast could swing the election and they made it happen.

Comey's letter was also part of it, maybe a diversion to make it seem his treachery was the reason and not the suddenly red blue states.

[Botany]

69. "The hits" were targeted

It was a coup.

[Wounded Bear]

12. I've long believed this....

Trump owes the Russians, bigly.

Dirty money: Trump and the Kazakh connection
FT probe finds evidence a Trump venture has links to alleged laundering network


OCTOBER 19, 2016 by: Tom Burgis
Ever since a series of bankruptcies left banks unwilling to lend to him, Donald Trump has been on the lookout for partners willing to fund the buildings that bear his name.

Over the years the US presidential candidate has assembled an eclectic collection of backers and collaborators. Some had chequered pasts, with links to organised crime or fraud schemes. But perhaps the biggest risk for Mr Trump’s complex, often opaque, business empire was that it might be used for a purpose US officials fear is rife in the country’s real estate sector: laundering dirty money.

A Financial Times investigation has found evidence that one Trump venture has multiple ties to an alleged international money laundering network. Title deeds, bank records and correspondence show that a Kazakh family accused of laundering hundreds of millions of stolen dollars bought luxury apartments in a Manhattan tower part-owned by Mr Trump and embarked on major business ventures with one of the tycoon’s partners.

As Mr Trump runs for the White House, the revelations raise questions about what steps his business takes to ensure that the funds that pour through it are clean.

Jennifer Shasky Calvery, then director of the US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, warned in January that “corrupt foreign officials, or transnational criminals, may be using premium US real estate to secretly invest millions in dirty money”.

[KittyWampus]

18. Just read Khan's twitter feed. He does a great job. But it sure looks like there's enough

of a money trail that Obama should have moved already.

In fact, it looks like something should have been done before the election.

Which leads me to wonder wtf is wrong with him or his Intelligence advisors.

It does not make sense that this much is readily known but we only now learn about it after the election.

[Plucketeer]

19. I could scratch my head

until my hair's worn off! Where the HELL is our justice system on this? We had a PHONY election and NO ONE seems to care!

[Respectful Debate]

28. The problem is that any Justice Dept move on Trump will now look like a coup

Even though Trump winning was the actual coup

[Plucketeer]

33. That may well be

But unless a real dust up is made about it, we won't be able to provoke the GOP into confessing they're in favor of TREASON. They've completely aligned themselves with the treasonous bastard who cheated to get where he's at. Holder, Lynch - they've been USELESS from where I sit.

[Fast Walker 52]

40. good point-- I often wonder if there was a deep conspiracy on the part of many in the govt

to install Trump. Certainly FBI involved. Intel community could've hid info from Obama.

[LisaM]

44. This really bothers me.

Something should have been done before the election. Now we are all screwed. And for what?

[secondwind]

20. What about Ivanka traveling to Croatia, leaving a newborn behind, to "vacation" with Putin's

girlfriend? [Wendy Deng, ex-wife of Rupert Murdoch, and rumored to be dating Putin]

This "vacation" was short... 3-4 days...

[vanlassie]

42. Trump uses couriers.

[lark]

21. Answer - power and greed.

The MSM is owned by the billionaire class and corporations and they think drumpf will increase the wealth of the rich, so they are OK with giving Russia the world as long as they get theirs as well,

[jalan48]

22. Has the media been taken over by the Russian's too? Is this part of the "One World Government"?

[Fast Walker 52]

39. yeah, it really makes you wonder what they are up to...

do they have a long term plan or only care about short term profits from Trump?

[jeffreyi]

23. Karla has done himself proud.

Where's Smiley when we need him?
Turn about is fair play, say the Russians. They will gloat over our demise just as we did when the USSR fell apart. We never stooped to meddling in elections or internal politics, did we?

[Ilsa]

34. I'm enjoying your reference...

Hopefully we won't fall apart, but it may take time for all of the US to start working together for the good of all its citizens.

[2naSalit]

24. Drumpf is a "fence" for the

Russian oligarchy/thieves, laundering their dirty $$ for them in trade for what he now sees as the emperor's throne. Such a sad and dimwitted troll puppet.

And at least half the government in the US of A and nearly all* of the media are complicit.


* The exception being independent news sources that are verifiable such Democracy Now and other similar news outlets.

[Scurrilous]

25. K & R

[flamingdem]

26. Cannot quite believe the Russians thought Trump would win

If they did they know a hell of a lot more than 99 percent of our pundits.

Rather I think that they got damn lucky. But after I read all of this maybe
I will change my mind.

[sarah FAILIN]

32. Trump has spent years building his fanbase

Real politicians do not which is why I believe he won.

[brush]

66. Yeah, right. All these Russian connections being revealed and you post that? Enjoy your stay.

And isn't your screen name a little too obvious?

[sarah FAILIN]

67. I've been here since Sarah Palin..

I give full due to the Russians and their hacks, but stupid morons were watching his dumb shows long before and they ate it up with a spoon.

If I could change my name easily I would. That was over 8 years ago and I didn't think about having to keep it.

[brush]

71. Still, all these connections to Russian interference in our election and you attribute the trump ...

win to his reality show from years ago, a show with tanking ratings?

[sarah FAILIN]

72. People are stupid.

If you look at my other posts, you would see I am 100% believing the Russians did everything they could to help him. I think if they actually hacked the voting machines we would've found some sort of proof in those recounts.

I deleted most the people I know on fb because they all bought into the fake news and Trump lies. I had told them over and over how he owes the Russians. They refused to believe me. They see him as the image he pushed on that stupid show and we're too dumb to look at anything else. I told them I had overestimated their morals and intelligence then deleted them all. Stupid people put him in office with encouragement from Russia. 3rd party voters didn't help either.

[IntraPolitico]

27. It smelled fishy from the get-go

Surely the average Trump voter questioned his overt willingness to support an authoritarian dictator, from RUSSIA of all places?? I mean, it's so painfully convenient it must be suspect to questioning.

[triron]

30. kick for visibility

[McCamy Taylor]

31. Citizens United made foreign contributions legal. It's in the dissenting opinion.

Since 2010 we knew this was coming.

[LiberalLovinLug]

35. K & R

[mfcorey1]

36. Do you remember when at the beginning of his campaign they were

sending letter to foreign heads of foreign government soliciting funds? Gee these things are connecting. The Sword of Damocles is hanging over Drumpf's head.

[Fast Walker 52]

38. OMG, yes-- I forgot about that

they said it was a "mistake"

[triron]

41. knr

[ancianita]

43. K & R with the knowledge that understanding is the booby prize. Now what.

[HipChick]

45. Imagine if this had been Hilary..

follow the Russian money

[Vinca]

46. The "media" wants access to the King.

If he kicks a writer of a 20 year old biography off his golf course, do you think he'll allow anyone writing what should be the biggest freaking story of the decade into his White House?

[Kablooie]

47. Be careful! So far this is from a Twitter post which is NOT NEWS.

It needs to be investigated and if confirmed it would be news but I hope we don't follow Fox News tactics and broadcast every little bit of online slander as fact.

Let's hope this isn't just an invented scandal like the right wing ones.

[HipChick]

52. Actually if you read, The Financial Times is a newspaper which has published some articles

https://ig.ft.com/sites/trumps-russian-connections/

[KittyWampus]

57. Point well worth making. But I googled a few names and they fit.

In the end it's the associations. The many, many associations.

I don't agree with guilt by association. Until it becomes overwhelming.

[brush]

68. Too many Russian tentacles coming from everywhere for this to just be a coincidence.

Ivanka flying to Croatia, leaving a newborn for 4 days. What was that important that couldn't be shared online or over the phone?

Putin's girlfriend introduced Ivanka to her husband btw.

Trumps campaign plane diverting to blue Wisconsin in the last days of the campaign — blue Wisconsin which suddenly went red with just enough votes to get the EC votes for trump.

Comey's treachery, even though he was in the briefing that the Russians were hacking the Dems, he did nothing but further attacked Hillary with that letter to Congress.

The server in trump tower connected to a Russian bank.

Too many coincidences.

[coco22]

48. I want ta thank ya!

[malaise]

50. Truth will out

Kick

[bonniebgood]

51. The Cliinton Machine KNEW this and refused to

put it out there because they thought they could win WITHOUT IT. DO anyone think the
Clinton Machine didn't and do know this?

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

53. Who can read THAT. Does no one know how to write and present information in a linear, logical

fashion anymore?

[KittyWampus]

58. It's Twitter. And it actually gives someone an incentive to start googling and investigating

for themselves.

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

73. hahah- thats funny! More like an incentive to ignore. Theres a reason vast

nos. of us prefer to get our news and commentary from other places besides social media and OP illustrates that nicely.

[War Horse]

54. One problem is that so many don't know what to believe anymore

and it's compounded by that the fact that those who *do* believe they have all the answers are so secure in their beliefs that there's no getting through to them. And they are the ones who shout the loudest too.

One thing that gets me about right wingers is that they don't understand that this is a win-win for Putin, no matter what. If he can work with a Trump admin, it's great for him. If Trump takes the U.S. down the drain it's an even bigger win.

And another thing that gets me among so many on the Left is that they don't realize that this Putin fetishism on the Right in both the U.S. and parts of Europe has been going for a long time.

Add to that how we in the West treated Russia after the cold war, and you have an even bigger problem.

[NewJeffCT]

60. Yes, I remember how W liked Putin as well

called him Pooty Poot and said he looked into his eyes and saw his soul or something like that.

[Maraya1969]

59. This guy, Adam Khan is finding things the MSM can't or won't. Please donate

to him. I follow him and it amazes me how much dirt he uncovers. It must take an awful lot of time and he is doing this all for free.

[alarimer]

61. Influence-peddling

On an enormous scale. This the main worry with Trump, how he easily he is bribed.

[brush]

62. God! Putin's girlfriend introduced Ivanka to her now husband. The whole family . . .

is in bed with the Russians.

This all smells like crazy. Russian tentacles are are protruding from everywhere.

Wonder who introduced trump to Melania?

Seems the Russians have been courting him with money and compliments to his ego for years.

Have we become a wholly owned subsidiary of Putin's Russia?
