    “Set aside Putin and follow the money”: a Russia expert’s theory of the Trump scandal
    Why the collusion story begins with money, not politics.

    For those who still insists there is no collusion, the above snippets of the interview with Seva Gunitsky, a professor of politics at the University of Toronto and author of Aftershocks, explains how the sordid history of Trumps financial dealings with Russian oligarchs is at the root of the collusion scandal.

    The article below goes into detail the history of Trump's casinos with the Russian mob.

    I think we can officially declare this experiment of letting a businessman run the country like a business to be a complete and utter failure. I predicted when Trump won in November that we would see a new era in kleptocracy. I was right.

    It has always been about money with Trump.
    The Rooskies need sanctions lifted and Trump needs money and needed to win to ease the sanctions - a match made in heaven.

    The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. --- John Kenneth Galbraith

    I'm just floored with the religious fervor of Trump supporters who don't want to face these allegations. It provokes MORE questions, not less.

    It IS like a religion - things like an imaginary man are taken on FAITH - certain people are easy marks - gullible and taken in by con-men like Pat Robertson, Jim Jones, Jim and Tammy Baker, or the reality show host liar.
