They should set up a couple of 24/7 spin off channels. MSNBC N, for tRump's nazi buddies in his admin and political party, MSNBC S, covering all the felony scams from dRump appointees, MSNBC I, focusing exclusively on indictment news.

Trump has always worshipped Ross because of his money, power & ties to the mega Russian billionaires which Trump is so jealous of.

Great reporting from @RichardEngel The pattern of Russian connections w/Trump and cronies, coupled with false denials, is becoming alarming.

Engel and Maddow are great.

There was a laughable article from the NYT 3/6/17, about how Ross was trying to clean up the russians at his bank.

But Mother Jones reported that he actually joined with an oligarch and ex-KGB guy to run the bank.

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/12/trump-commerce-pick-wilbur-ross-financial-ties-russians/

"Ross was appointed vice-chairman at the bank after his investment in 2014, a post he shared with a deposit holder-turned-shareholder, Vladimir Strzhalkovsky, referred to in Russian media as a former KGB official and Putin ally. According to the bank’s annual reports, the two attended two board meetings together in 2014 and as many as five together in 2015 before Strzhalkovsky’s May 2015 resignation from the board. One of the questions that has been posed to Ross by Democratic senators is whether he ever had contact with Strzhalkovsky.

One of Ross’s first big decisions at the bank was the appointment of former Deutsche Bank chief executive Josef Ackermann as chairman, whom he chose in part because of Ackermann’s “huge Rolodex”, according to a 2014 Bloomberg interview.

Ackermann’s ties to Russia were especially strong, including a warm relationship with Putin and Herman Gref of Sberbank."
