COLOSSAL red flag & apparently the U.S. Senate didn't? I knew that this was going to be a clusterfuck of epic proportions. My God, didn't ANY Republican think that a guy who plays footsie with Russian Oligarchs on the board of Putin's favorite money-laundering source could become an ethical problem at best and a legal problem at worst?

WTF is wrong with these people? The entire Republican party is rotten to its core.

come in and cleaned up the Bank of Cyprus, put and end of massive money laundering for Russian oligarchs, etc. That was in the nomination period. I went back and found it the other day, after these connections came out, and it is an article, not an opinion piece or letter.

The author could be completely dirty, or perhaps it merely reflects the state of available information that was believed supported and credible at that point, pre- JD investigation. Or some combination.

No idea. But I'm wondering about all that here in rural Georgia, you're wondering, a whole bunch of people are wondering. We know the MSM have been heavily infiltrated and influenced by agents of the archconservatives trying to reform our nation.

For a littler thing, just look at their anti-Democrat coverage of Brazile. To listen to them you'd think it was the Democratic Party collapsed from the weight of massive corruption and betrayal of its own electorate.

In any case, things like the Cyprus issue may break it open and cause reforms in news also.
