Disgusting

Yesterday, the New York Times published a detailed but troubling article (link here) about how Donald Trump is targeting a dedicated, hard-working, and highly productive Justice Department official named Bruce Ohr who has prosecuted scores of Russian mobsters.

Trump has a personal vendetta against the little-known Ohr because the latter has worked closely with Christopher Steele, the former British spy who helped hunt down Russian mobsters. Trump has a personal vendetta against Steele because he has exposed a number of Trump's alleged crimes and shady connections to Russian mobsters.

Is anyone else seeing a pattern here? Trump has many ties to Russian mobsters. Ohr prosecutes Russian mobsters. You do the math.

At a minimum, Trump is putting personal politics before the country's interest in prosecuting mobsters. More likely, Trump doesn't like how Ohr has been going after some of the President's unsavory Russian associates.

You'd think Republicans on Capitol Hill would be outraged a President is doing this. But, no, they're outraged at Ohr for exposing Trump.

Down is up, wet is dry, and black is white in this great nation today, thanks to Trump. He wants to silence a government official for working too hard to prosecute mobsters.

November's midterms cannot get here any faster. Be sure to volunteer and vote. It's the most important thing you'll do all year.
