“Sberbank is if not the largest Russian bank, one of them. It featured heavily in the Clinton Cash book as the bank that helped arrange the purchase of Uranium One. So it’s a bank that’s very active in Russia, very tied into the Russian oligarchs. All during the 2016 campaign, and even now, the allegation has been from the Democrats ‘it’s Trump who has the Russian ties. Trump won’t explain his Russian ties. Well recently, it’s just come out in an excellent article by Richard pollack at the Daily Caller, documents just how much the Podesta group which I think is run by Tony Podesta, John Podesta’s brother and their very close friends and business partners, the Podesta Group was being paid a lot of money by Sberbank during the campaign,” Ortel said.

...no wonder he turns a blind eye to investigating Trump. They all are covering each other's Arse. I'm sick and hurt about the corruption. I also realize there's got to be more; it's going to get worse before getting better. I'm glad I've learned faith. Greed, it seems to me, has been the focus of enough officials to adversely affect 99% of the population, indeed this country.

From threatening Obama when the intellegence was first presented prior to the election, to his insistence on the next president choosing the vacant SC seat. It's all just too convenient. At best, he's a dispicable excuse for a human being....at worst, he's an accomplice to electioneering in the name of preserving party over the people, and that's being generous.
