@SethAbramson: How damn transparent can these people be?? (Trump & Deripaska)

[RandomAccess]

According to Wikipedia, "RUSAL is the world's second largest aluminium company by primary production output (as of 2016)

@SethAbramson
Rusal's head is Oleg Deripaska, a likely Trump co-conspirator. Late last year it was reported he'd step down and cash out, right when Rusal sanctions were announced. Now we hear Trump will give Rusal a pass and Deripaska won't step down. How damn transparent can these people be?

2/ Understand that Deripaska's announcement he'd step down preceded Trump's surprise announcement of Rusal sanctions by a week, suggesting he had advance notice. Guess how many days before the announcement Rusal wouldn't be sanctioned Deripaska decided to stay at Rusal?

3/ And don't tell me Russia sanctions policy under this administration isn't coming directly from the president, as we know for certain it *is*. Trump is deciding who will and will not be covered by his sanctions and he is doing it in a way that protects him in the Russia probe.

1. Trump fears the pee tape

2. Trump's Stormy Daniels tweets show how easy he is to blackmail

A man who dispenses cash for secrets this easily is a risky man to have in office

Putin may have an extensive file on trump including the pee tape. If trump is willing to jump through this many hoops and tell this many lies just for an one-night stand, think what trump will do to keep the pee tape quiet

3. Well, Trump did promise to being transparency to government!

Ai-yi-yi

4. Every action of that man is in the context of self-protection from all of his crimes

It is the fulcrum of his existence, and has been since the moment he was first confronted with serious accusations. It couldn't be more clear.
