By the way, if Russia was working so hard on the 2016 Election, it all took place during the Obama Admin. Why didn't they stop them?

Other than his purported "tape" explanation, wonder if something is up (outside of the Senate healthkill draft).

1. I'll say there was probably no "grand scheme"

I doubt Trump and his stooges are that smart. I think it was mostly a matter of money. Trump has been laundering Russian oligarch money. And Trump and his stooges want access to that sweet, sweet kleptocrat cash. That's what Trump cares about. What collusion there was was probably mostly about timing.

2. When does Putin get his payoff though?

Sanctions don't seem like they are getting lifted any time soon....He prob has a ton of stuff to leak on trump

7. Note what happened with the Senate sanctions bill

it "mysteriously" was crafted to be rejected by the House because it should have originated from the House (and the Senate knows that and normally attaches bills like that to House bills waiting for Senate action).

9. He's getting his payoff now....

Trump knows Putin could reveal all his dirty secrets. All Putin needs is for Trump to be reluctant about provoking him. And Putin, as a KGB operative, KNOWS how to read a mark. He knows that that big, mango buffoon will fuck things up all by himself. Look at NATO. Practically in tatters. He's getting what he wants: An incompetent buffoon destroying American leadership of the West.

3. The "grand scheme"

was the "election and financial bribe" related to sanctions against Russia for the Ukraine incursion and take over of Crimea. Various Drumpf associates were running around attempting to "work deals" related to that.

The TFEE money laundering has been going on for 20+ years and is a separate issue.

10. Ah yes....

I think that IS likely.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. And his efforts to try to block investigations into those 2 issues

resulted in his generating a 3rd, self-inflicted investigation - obstruction of justice.

4. Making it up as he goes, as usual. Idiot.

Do I detect a little "squirming" and nervous "wiggling" here?
As Malcolm Nance said, "The TARGET is getting "buggy". "This is what happens when they know they are CAUGHT!"

5. Ironically his 2nd tweet basically admits that he benefited.

6. Sooner or later the Piper has to be payed

[BumRushDaShow]

8. Yup

And oddly enough (and I may be wrong) they would throw him under the bus in a minute and continue to work with the others they have co-opted.

12. Yeah, no loyalty at all in that crew...

loyalty goes UP, not down.
