  1. I love it when our American Generals call Trump out for being the traitor that he is. Trump has announced he is removing sanctions on Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska’s aluminum company, United Co. Rusal. Oleg Deripaska, who has deep connections to Paul Manafort. Deripaska invested $18.9 million into a Ukrainian telecom venture ran by Manafort, but was never paid back. Mueller has investigated the links between the two men. Deripaska, who is close to Vladimir Putin, was “accused of threatening the lives of business rivals, illegally wiretapping a government official, and taking part in extortion and racketeering” when the Treasury  hit him with sanctions in April. In 2005, Manafort started working for Oleg Deripaska. Manafort had hired himself out to Deripaska, promising he would “influence politics, business dealings, and news coverage inside the United States, Europe, and former Soviet Republics to benefit Putin’s government. Russia’s oligarchs put their wealth and power at Putin’s disposal, or they don’t remain oligarchs for long. This requirement is not lost on Deripaska. “I don’t separate myself from the state,” Deripaska told the Financial Times in 2007. “I have no other interests.” A 2006 U.S. diplomatic cable described him as “among the 2-3 oligarchs Putin turns to on a regular basis.” Working for Deripaska, meant Manafort was working for Putin. Deripaska hired Manafort for $10 million a year, and Manafort worked to advance Russian interests in Ukraine, Georgia, and Montenegro. Oleg Deripaska happens to be business partners with Russian Oligarchs who attended exclusive dinners at Trump's inauguration.  Sometime around March of this year, Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg flew in to a NY on a private plane — and was met there by Mueller’s investigators, who questioned him and searched his electronic devices. Vekselberg is the owner of the Renova Group, a Russian conglomerate with aluminum and oil interests, and is one of the richest people in Russia. His cousin, Andrew Intrater, an American citizen who runs a US company tied to Vekselberg’s company, donated $250,000. Intrater had also kicked in $35,000 to the Trump Victory Committee. Vekselberg and Intrater attended Trump’s inauguration together, and at the January 19 candlelight dinner, they were seated with Trump’s lawyer, Cohen.. Later that year, that company run by Intrater paid Cohen’s shell company, Essential Consultants LLC, $500,000 — for, they claimed, real estate advice. A 1million inaugural donation came from Leonard Blavatnik, who runs a company called Access Industries. Blavatnik was on the guest list for the January 19 candlelight dinner too.

  2. If it were not for the fact that Trump was born wealthy, and given a fortune multiple times from his father, no one would even know who Trump is today. Trump doesn't possess even a modicum of the cognitive, intellectual, or social skills it would take to succeed if it had not been for his father. If Trump had not been born on 3rd base, he probably would have ended up working as a game or ride operator in a traveling carnival.

  3. Visteo Bman No. But I Mueller is looking into that now. And the new Congress had plans to investigate it as well.

  4. Surt Andvettsson Serious question: Is Mueller's investigation over? Has he issued his final report? The answer is no. The big fish always get saved for last. More indictments are coming from Mueller, and that's not even counting the multiple state investigations Trump is under in NY and VA. 17 total investigations in total.
