The Plot Thickens

Yesterday, The New York Times broke the story (link here) documenting how the Russian lawyer who met with Donald Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign manager at Trump Tower in the summer of 2016 has Kremlin ties.

Two years ago in an email that has recently been unearthed, the Russian lawyer admitted to being an "informant" for a top Kremlin official, Yuri Y. Chaika, the prosecutor general. Chaika, of course, is quite close to Vladimir Putin.

Last night, NBC News broadcast an interview with the lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, who confirmed her Kremlin connection.

Trump, of course, continues his deceptive claim of "no Russian collusion!" notwithstanding the continuing documentation of collusion.

Also yesterday, a federal court threw out a lawsuit filed by Trump's indicted campaign manager Paul Manafort (details here), who was attempting to stop his prosecution by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is leading the criminal investigation into Trump and his associates. Manafort tried to object that Mueller had exceeded his legal authority when he began his prosecution against him.

Not surprisingly, Trump was ranting once again yesterday on Twitter about how the Mueller investigation and indictments are nothing more than a "witch hunt!" Curious how no federal court or appellate court has dismissed any criminal charges against any of the dozens of people who have already been indicted in this alleged witch hunt.

Apparently no one on Trump's staff has the courage to tell him that Richard Nixon frequently wailed about how the Watergate investigation was nothing more than a witch hunt out to get him.

  1. More time is passing by, more the Russian path is unfolding to make «45's» words of «witch hunt» looks very suspicious.

    NRA is now on the spot while a rich Russian banker has funded it with 30 million dollars.
    Same millions that curiously were donated to «Trumpty Dumpty's» election campaign by NRA. Of course, «HE» will deny all of it saying «HE» wasn't aware of the source of that huge money «gift».

    All those facts, denied by Republicans and «Fuck News», are getting in Mueller's shopping basket and we are still waiting to see all of this «shit» to hit the fan to make «45» impeached.

    Why is it so long for Justice Department to wrap up that investigation that is more and more looks like pole in their eye?
