Mother Russia: Friend or Foe
I thought we could use a fresh Russia thread considering the heat got turned up with the Sessions firing/anti-Russia investigation/pro-Trump knob slobber Matt Whitaker hiring.
Honestly, I'd really like to hear thoughts about why Whitaker doesn't need to be voted in for a Senate-confirmed position (even if it is just temporary), whether his publicly-stated anti-Russia investigation rant means he should recuse himself from the investigation, or whether you think an investigation that has already resulted in many indictments/guilty pleas + paid for itself many times over with the Manafort assets seizure is worthy of being slowly defunded or shut down entirely. Also interesting is Whitaker's involvement on the advisory board of a scam company that has been ordered by a federal court to pay penalties of 25+ million after misleading investors (I'll spare the embarrassment of sharing the products they were promoting). And finally, whether you guys think there's any truth to the rumor Trump Jr. will be indicted shortly for his role in the meeting at Trump Tower. Let's hear your thoughts. |

We know that, and they will. Remember it was the extremist right that somehow got the impression the laws didn’t apply to them. |

Re: Mother Russia: Friend or Foe
For anybody who wants to go down the rabbit hole in regards to Trump/Russia, I'd like to introduce you to a user on Reddit who is trying to paint the picture in regards to that relationship. His/her name is PoppinKREAM, and s/he's become popular on Reddit for writing detailed explanations involving all the connections where s/he sources articles for everything written.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ShitPoppinKreamSays/ Here's one of their latest posts detailing how Trump was still working with Russia in mid-2016 to build the Trump Tower in Moscow, months after Cohen claimed to end the venture: https://np.reddit.com/r/politics/com...ecd/?context=3 |

https://www.yahoo.com/news/court-rec...134727224.html We know this, though Mueller has made not a single public comment since his appointment in May 2017. We know this, though the full, final report on the investigation, believed to be in its final stages, may never be made public. It's up to Attorney General William Barr. We know this because Mueller has spoken loudly, if indirectly, in court — indictment by indictment, guilty plea by guilty plea. In doing so, he tracked an elaborate Russian operation that injected chaos into a U.S. presidential election and tried to help Trump win the White House. He followed a GOP campaign that embraced the Kremlin's help and championed stolen material to hurt a political foe. And ultimately, he revealed layers of lies, deception, self-enrichment and hubris that followed. Woven through thousands of court papers, the special counsel has made his public report. This is what it says. Should read the whole thing!

Russia's Prigozhin admits interfering in U.S. elections https://news.yahoo.com/russias-prigo...115844580.html LONDON (Reuters) -Russian businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin said on Monday he had interfered in U.S. elections and would continue doing so in future, the first such admission from a figure implicated by Washington in efforts to influence American politics. In comments posted by the press service of his Concord catering firm on Russia's Facebook equivalent VKontakte, Prigozhin said: "We have interfered (in U.S. elections), we are interfering and we will continue to interfere. Carefully, accurately, surgically and in our own way, as we know how to do." The remark by the close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin was posted on the eve of the U.S. midterm elections in response to a request for comment from a Russian news site.
