We keep finding out more stuff on ties to Russia
It is suspicious beyond belief that so many of Trump’s top campaign officials had so many contacts with Russians during the campaign which they all lied about until they were discovered. None of them ever admit to anything til they’re caught. Almost every top Trump campaign official suffered from the same afflictions, having lots of close Russian ties followed by selective amnesia. The original selection process it’s as though Russian connections were a prerequisite for getting hired to the campaign team. All the personal contacts & business dealings are more than coincidental. And now, as a title in a link below states, the Trump Administration are now up to their necks in Russians. Everything is always all about Russia, no matter how much those inside Trump world tried to hide it all along, the cat’s now out of the bag as we increasingly find out more about those connections & the reasons behind them.
Last week, we tweeted a poll asking our followers who they think would be the recipient of Mueller’s next indictment. Kushner won by a landslide, but it looks like it may be a closer race than we thought. Let’s review the Trump characters in the news lately who were found to have had something to do with Russia while hiding it, until now when they’ve been caught. Flynn & Flynn Jr. have enough evidence against them to be indicted, if they haven’t been already. Mueller is holding that over their heads as leverage to get them to cooperate, if they aren’t already. It looks like Donny Jr. was offering to repeal the Magnitsky Act, which would fulfill the Trump campaign’s part of the bargain. Sessions remains under the microscope while Kushner was caught again concealing his important connections to Russia, which he could become the next indictment on the climb up the ladder to his daddy-in-law. Wilbur Ross is the central player in the Paradise Papers, which is not going to be paradise for either Ross or Trump. In the most recent interview, a House intel committee member said Carter Page was the most evasive & bizarre witness they’ve ever had, & those transcripts were just released. It seems like the flighty Page is oblivious to the potential trouble he’s in, he just loves soaking up all the attention. He doesn’t think twice about doing a cable TV interview even though he refuses to say anything of substance, wallowing in his cryptic secrecy. And now we see Trump’s bodyguard is ready to testify. The plot thickens some more!
Trump recently said he has one of the great memories of all-time, but his recollections are rather foggy on the Papadopoulos meeting where the Russian deal was first brought up, which witnesses in that meeting said Trump showed interest & was engaged. And from that point through today, it wouldn’t be surprising if Trump has been lying about the Russian connections all along, since he’s conclusively shown lying to be a central part of his nature. People who put all their cards on the table & help investigators get to the bottom of an inquiry, they do so because they’re innocent & want to clear their name. Those who interfere are obviously hiding something. In Trump’s case, he seems to always be plotting to divert the investigations & if possible dismiss Mueller, while getting encouragement from the echo, pundits & Trumpeters. He also has allies in Congress who just happen to be some of the biggest radicals in Congress, including Louie Gomer Pyle, possibly the dumbest person to ever walk the halls of Congress. Trump’s evil scheme might amount to firing Sessions & replace him with a lackey who’d fire Mueller. All hell would break loose if he tried that.
Especially coming on the heels of firing Comey a few months ago, any plan hatched to remove Mueller would touch off a constitutional crisis & cement obstruction of justice charges against Trump. That could become Trump’s Saturday Night Massacre moment like when Nixon fired Archibald Cox, creating a PR disaster which set in motion congressional impeachment proceedings which soon forced Nixon to resign. So by soon dismissing Mueller, it might actually spark a chain reaction of events where my prediction of a new President by the end of the year could happen. And as an article below touches on, the only logical reason for wanting to fire Mueller is because Trump knows he is guilty. Blanket pardons could well touch off a similar constitutional crisis & proof of obstruction. He’s acting desperate because he’s likely guilty & in big trouble, which nobody is more aware of that than him. Unless in his narcissistic pathology, he’s delusional enough to convince himself of alternative facts.
Articles at the bottom reveals revelations from Donna Brazile on shenanigans going on inside the DNC which perhaps rigged the nomination towards Hillary, indicating that not only a scab has been pulled off the wound of the Dems own civil war, but if Hillary had won the presidency she might now be up to her eyeballs in her own political scandal. But the echo is more than happy to add this distraction to their list of Hillary scandals worse than Russiagate, which includes the Hillary emails, email server, Benghazi, uranium, oppo research & her arguments with Bill over what’s for dinner. If Hillary so much as sneezes funny, the echo is all over it by drumming up her infractions as yet another unforgivable scandal. But the momentum is on the side of the investigations for the authentic Russian scandal, a story not going away because it has legs, with enough damning info against the Trump campaign being revealed recently, that the public wants the probe to press on & find out the truth.
Since Hillary didn’t win the general, this DNC spat takes on the identity of an internal party battle in the Dems civil war, not so much a full-fledged scandal like the President wants the DOJ to investigate. And despite what the echo would have us believe, none of the Hillary escapades can hold a candle to the raging three-alarm fire spreading out of control with increasing evidence of a presidential campaign colluding with a foreign adversary to taint an election. There is only ONE scandal in the news to cover, not the pseudo-scandal flavor-of-the-week they keep digging up about Hillary over at Fox fake-news, especially now that Hillary is essentially politically irrelevant since she didn’t win the election & is not in power. Trump’s infatuation with Hillary really comes down to a bully always needs a target to pick on, & he prefers insulting women.
The challenge I face in writing these messages, is words cannot adequately describe the level of incompetence & incorrigibility presented by this president. Even before the group of links describing the Brazile-DNC-Dems brouhaha, there are plenty of links reporting on Trump’s fervent desire to control the DOJ & other institutions which largely retain their autonomy, highlighting both his cluelessness & dictatorial instincts. One article within that group reveals Corker is disgusted with people who are bullies & untruthful, which certainly fits Trump’s profile. Heading down towards the bottom links, the Bush’s called out Trump with the elder President Bush calling him a “blowhard” & revealed he voted for Hillary. There are articles about both parties being doomed followed by a CNN video where Thomas Friedman said both sides are dead, an interview so profound I also including it in today’s part 2 under the Evil-Echo.
Another link raises the question based on the Red Letter open letter, can Liberty University still be considered a Christian college when their president is so unabashedly in bed with moral depravity? A number of evangelical leaders are smearing & diminishing the faith, which their unabashedly over-reliance on political power will surely backfire. Moving on down there are links to Trump’s Asian trip which we only hope he doesn’t embarrass America, which he already looked like a fool in Japan for seemingly not even realizing Japanese car companies do make cars in America (& have been for decades). And with his renowned negotiating skills, can he finally get China to exert sufficient pressure & influence on North Korea to help diffuse the nuke threat, or might Trump escalate the situation to risk WWIII. Also did the Trump-Jared family tag team just help orchestrate a Saudi move towards brutal authoritarianism? Wrapping things up are links showing more dismal polling for the President, including the very last article that Trump’s presidency is not recovering which will do untold damage to the GOP.

Always good to trot out some Kos stories, since they’re a worthy counter to the echo. Mostly about Russia, since that was, is & will be THE big news headline. A few links on tax reform & a couple other topics can be found below.
