QOTD: Trump And The Russian Mafia


In his new book, "House of Trump, House of Putin: The Untold Story of Donald Trump and the Russian Mafia," investigative journalist Craig Unger exposes 35 years of Trump's connection with Kremlin-controlled organized crime in the U.S. He sat down for an interview with Chauncey Devega at Salon:
"When John Brennan lost his security clearance the contrast was so stark -- there is no way in the world Donald Trump would have received a security clearance and he is president of the United States. Donald Trump has had contacts with the Russian mafia for 35 years. His properties have laundered money for them. The Russian mafia are connected to Russian intelligence. They’re living and have been working in Trump's building. Trump has even partnered with them. There are so many ways in which he’s compromised. As you say, I think it’s all on the public record. The Republicans are also implicated. As I explain in my new book, the Russians didn't just go after Donald Trump: They went after the entire Republican Party. There is Russian money going into the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, the NRA, and then to Republican officials and candidates directly." (our emphasis)
Read the whole interview, buy Unger's book and share it with undecided family and friends. Then VOTE the traitors out.

This should fall under Mueller's investigation parameters, shouldn't it? Anyway, I'm as patient as the next guy and I know this investigation needed lots of time, but please, Mr Mueller, please get this shit over and done with! We're not going to have a democracy to save if you don't get these rats out!

donnah -- If he's not tackling it directly, he's likely passed it on to prosecutors in New York. Either way, his team looks at investigative work by the media and gauges their value to their investigation.
