I second your remarks. I read that too.

Also, my money is that they have kompromat on Nunes too. And Pence is probably dining alone with a woman that's not his wife. 😱 The right-wing evangelical hypocrisy may be a Russian gift to US.

I am betting the Mercers are really upset with the idea of Bannon leaving the WH. Interesting to see how they work this...given their campaign contributions and string-pulling activities...who also have Russian ties, too...shockingly. 🤔

Is really pulling their strings.

Some of the players (trump) are too dumb. Many of the others will keep being played as long as the money is flowing.

How much of the money flow is made up of non-valid currencies? I can't imagine it would be that difficult for a state actor or a large corporation to print bills, fake certificates, etc. without being caught. I had heard that Iran (or Iraq?) had very sophisticated minting operations. And the Russian contributions? There's no way they aren't playing directly in the banking systems including SWIFT.

So, only suckers pay taxes. Most of the nodes on your graphs don't have to bother, or if they do it's a fun exercise in cheating. Or if they get caught by some over-zealous bureaucrat, you know who'll lose that battle.

and stop focusing on the misdirected shiny objects.

If Trump is not caught with a smoking gun with respect to collusion with the Russians and our elections, he at least must be brought down by his sketchy business dealings (for instance, money laundering, for starters).

Here is just one link about a Trump project in Baku, featuring his daughter wife Ivanka. It is downright laughable when you just look at the location. I thought the first 3 rules in real estate were 1) location, 2) location, 3) location.

Those are the people I think all directly involved....

Then there are what I call the "Kompromat list" of people separate from that list (although I think a few on there like Chaffetz and others were people sucked in and blackmailed with info on them) but many are on both lists including for sheer profit and money that they sold their country and constitution out.

This list will grow and is bigger than we can even imagine.

As a friend of mine said: if the Russians wanted to wage a war and take over the US and control it, the quickest and cheapest way would be to give a Million dollars to every member of congress and it would be a fraction of feeding, transporting, housing a military battle regiment and battalion and any cost if weaponry. And happen faster.
