This has been going on for how long now?
Seizing the US govt must have been just another item scratched off their "To Do" list.

Willbur Ross.
Who retained investments in a shipping firm with business ties to Russian President Vladimir V. Putin's inner circle. ...
And Mr. Ross led a private bailout of the Bank of Cyprus, long regarded as a favorite financial haven of wealthy Russians,

google Wilbur Ross bank and all sorts of background pops up.

He also owns a shipping company. Funny thing, so does Mitch McConnell's wife, who Trump put into the Cabinet.

and in another book, forgot the author.

Yeah, the media has really changed. Even MSNBC fluctuates wildly about Trump.

from the O'Brien book. My thoughts are,O'Brien was damn light on Trump.

As for MSNBC,said this before,what does one expect when it's CEO Lack,was along with,Zucker from CNN,were the ones who brought the Apprentice to NBC.

And Comcast will not churn the waters with Trump because of Net Neutrality as well as the Purchase of Sky B in Eourpe.

He did one on Giuliani, I have not had the stomach to open it.

Barret was an investigative reporter, died recently.

thugs and outlaws.

Trump and his family are just a Criminal Operation. My guess is when this is said and done. The Politicians in Washington will allow Trump to keep a certain amount of money and the US Government will take everything of value to be sold for cash at Auction.

Trump will still receive his 250 K plus a Stipend for communications for the rest of his natural life as well as Security detail.

They didn’t know it was illegal to fund their campaigns with Russian money. Deplorables will believe and accept.
