Trump and GOP Have No Defense.

And ALL ROADS LEAD TO PUTIN.



What Malcolm Nance said:

Anyone who has ever talked to a bookie knows that a person in debt never insults the person that they owe money to. So, by bringing this up, and making Donald Trump… Using his natural populous traits. When he used to do worldwide wrestling, he came on as the evil guy with a big check, and then by the end of the wrestling match he would be embracing the guy who was the hero, the good guy. Putin, I’m sure, and his psychologist, and his scholars, saw that he had a draw for the base level American, the Wal-Mart shopping American. Even though he was a brash, supposedly rich guy, he had a way of touching them. I am absolutely certain that this was the calculation that they made, that he was not only popular in Russia, he was the kind of authoritarian Putin would like to fund, because Putin had been funding authoritarian governments all over Europe. To get the United States, and put this guy in as an ally, would just be monumental.

Snip...

Then they found the black book with all of the cash payments in there, which identified that Manafort may have made somewhere between $20 and $70 million of black money that he was money laundering into the United States. The very fact that he would come back again as Donald Trump’s campaign manager, shows a level of George Smiley-John le Carré level coordination, that those of us in the intelligence community just would have to chase down. Because as I like to say, “Coincidence takes a lot of planning.” That’s an old intelligence community dictum.

Especially after Mueller exposed the conspiracy in 2016, to get caught red-handed engaging in the exact same conspiracy to steal the election in 2020.

Not to mention his lack of intelligence and incuriosity. The other two, though, have met the minimum intellectual requirements to serve as agents of Putin.

The three, as common to their kind, think they don’t stink. That only will help draw the nation’s attention to their true nature. They are traitors.

CNN report on the GOP document:

House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, slammed the Republican report, accusing them of writing it for an "audience of one." Schiff said the GOP report "ignores voluminous evidence that the president used the power of his office to pressure Ukraine into investigating his political rival by withholding military aid and a White House meeting the President of Ukraine desperately sought."

"Tellingly, the Minority dismisses this as just part of the President's 'outside the beltway' thinking," Schiff said. "It is more accurately, outside the law and constitution, and a violation of his oath of office."
