More on Russia sanctions from State Dept spox. When and if we have sanctions to announce, we will do so. ... should sanctions be imposed, they would primarily be on non-Russian entities that are responsible for significant transactions w/Russias defense & intelligence sector.

(4,268 posts)May I ask where you got that figure from? (not doubting you at all just curious).
Eliot Rosewater
(31,112 posts)A. we know he owes them tons, that is now obvious by their own admission and the treason
B. since trump refuses to let us know anything about his taxes or finances, I am simply making an educated guess
I will gladly revise the figure when they release their tax returns and all their banking or bribe documents.
Always wondered when someone would ask me I like my answer, you?
I know you are not questioning the sentiment.

Memos are far more important than exposing the contemptuous GOP for allowing and abetting the elected criminal in chief to remain in office with the help of our national enemy!
The GOP is complicit in this ongoing crime and are as guilty of collusion and obstruction (in the House especially) as the fucking moron. The GOP is the enemy of this country...it is official now. They have gone from being complicit to enabling the fake prez in aiding our enemy.

(15,805 posts)So what's next? Trump has made our elected representatives into his kennel of barking pet dogs. He doesn't need them to run the government. Do they even realise that we are one step away from becoming a dictatorship?

(10,011 posts)We know that Russian money was funneled to PACs for McConnell, Ryan, and other Republicans. Nunes may be in league with the Russians because he is doing everything he can to undermine the investigationand Ryan is letting him. Theres a reason McConnell refused to hold hearings on Merrick Garland. There was no way he could know that Trump would win more than a year before the election, so why his refusal? And dont forget the worm Jason Chaffetz, who suddenly decamped when it appeared that the Russia investigation was getting serious. Republicans may be fighting so hard for Trump because they know they might go down with him.
