Why there were so many Russians hanging around the White House?

And why Jared Kushner attempted to get a secret channel to Putin?

And why Candidate Trump bragged about what a great leader Putin was and how Obama was so terrible?

And why the Republican platform was changed at the Republican Convention to favor Russia?

And why Trump was against the sanctions against Russia and why he called Vladimir Putin a very smart man when he did not retaliate against the Senate sanctions?

And why he tore down our allies, including NATO?

And why he wanted to meet in secret with Putin?

Because he was in negotiation for the biggest deal in Trump history with the Moscow Trump Tower, which was rumored to be worth $300 million dollars.

Because he made the decision to keep the Moscow Tower deal alive, just in case he did not win the Presidency.

At first, we were told that negotiations stopped in January of 2016. Then Cohen told Mueller that the negotiations stopped in June of 2016. Now, Giuliani tells us that it stopped sometime around election day in November of 2016??

All the while, he was bad-mouthing and tearing down our country as he cuddled up to Putin, in hopes to make the big deal.

What does it mean?

It means that America needs to wake up. Donald Trump and his Republican accomplices have betrayed all of us.

I would not be surprised if they kept the deal going after Election Day, but agreed to keep it very hush-hush and secret.

It is a betrayal of the highest order.

3. Remember: rightwingers LIKE Russia.

Right wingers aren’t worried for two reasons, both false:
1. They don’t think Russia did much, just a “few ads”.
2. They don’t consider Russia an enemy, they see it as if the UK had intervened in the elections to help them.

This is a huge huge problem. The rightwing propaganda media has effectively lied to Republicans.

Are christian and the rabid fundagelicals will accept help from Anybody that hates LGBT and abortionists.

Fundagelicals have betrayed the USA for their bogus sky god. This is why the USA's Founding Fathers were so concerned about separation of church and state.

was the Trump Crime Syndicate paid a advance Commission on this so called Russia Tower Project? If so,does Vlad want his money refunded for work not done?

Learned years ago in Business,if you do business with the Ukrainian or Russian Gangster Crowd,you most likely will be looking over your shoulder the rest of your days. Never know who belongs to that shadow behind you.

if people had known about this before hand, he likely would not have been elected.

He should be out of the office ASAP.
