NEW: As the TRUMP administration levels more sanctions against foreign politicians & companies, those sanctions targets are paying big $ to people with Trump ties — from Trump fundraiser Brian Ballard to ex-Trump aide @BCLanza — to stave off such sanctions

SCOOP: @RudyGiuliani is negotiating a security contract with the DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO through an Israeli firm that was paid $8M to block additional sanctions by the TRUMP administration against the DRC for corruption & human rights abuses.

1. The Trump criminal cartel never stops breaking the laws

of the USA and of common decency.

They are SICK WITH THE LOVE OF MONEY and corrupt to the core. ROTTEN all of them, and so are the GOP members that prop them up.

2. You'd think they'd have learned from the Russia example ...

Hell, Russia GOT HIM ELECTED and that still didn't get rid of the sanctions against them.

Trump admin is just one big criminal racket.

3. Well.....

You can’t say this didn’t work for Russia. But now it’s just greed on the part of members of this admin. Just think if a dem would have done any of this?
