Sean quits,...Non stop crappola from the out-house! Sean quits, lead lawyer on defense team quits, threats to remove Rosenstein, Mueller, and anyone who won't stop looking into this joke of a president, leads to authenticity of Russian's paying Drumph's debt's to secure their standing in a corrupt perversion of an election. I believe you are putting the puzzle pieces together in an upstanding way, Doc. Thanks again.

That link suggests the answer is less about Putin than the oligarchs around him. I still think it's likely they (Putin, et al) have stuff on Trump, holding his debt for sure, but maybe much more compromising, such that they think they can get him to do what they want whenever they want it. I hope that sooner or later, with the help of Mueller, most of it will eventually come out.Sid Schwabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182853083503404098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-74942272091459853072017-07-21T17:12:57.564-07:002017-07-21T17:12:57.564-07:00The link in your closing paragraph is an interesti...The link in your closing paragraph is an interesting read. The interviewee's emphasis on Trump's financial history with the Russians makes sense. I think he's too quick to paint the Russian threat to our country into the background because it strengthens his argument. I think they dovetail nicely.<br /><br />Trump's history is something I've been thinking about lately, specifically what motivated him to run for president. I used to think that a key factor was his embarrassing take-down by Obama at that White House Correspondents Dinner. That certainly helped. But was it actually the Russians who steered him to run? It could have been done indirectly through Manafort. A promise to forgive some of Trump's debt together with hints if "help" and perhaps promises of greater wealth would have been a powerful incentive. The cherry on top of that is a close relationship with (we call it manipulation by) Putin.<br /><br /><br />Dr Strangelovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14603758423399991937noreply@blogger.com
