through the exposure of Trump Jr.? What did the Russians and Putin have to do with exposing Jr?

Interesting that this revelation came just a few days after the big Trump/Putin meeting where they took no notes and didn't release any joint statements.

Hmmmmm......... Could the pee tape be far behind?

saying they pursued her, asking for info. Was she setting him up? Maybe the release of the emails was preferable to her narrative.

They have to be blackmailing him. Why wouldn't they? They have the goods. Nooooo doubt.

is as a guest of Russia (Kazakhstan) does that mean we will no longer be able to buy a ticket to ride?

Currently I believe only one American, Peggy Whitson, is out there. She is due back in September. Will they bring her home?

I don't think tRump has as much influence with congress as Pootie would like. The real question is, How many congress people can Russia blackmail as well? Anyone who caves at this point should be singled out as having joined in collusion. Could make it a lot easier for Mueller to identify the next person to investigate.

WH administration is compromised and blackmailable by anyone, let alone a foreign adversarial country run by Ex KGB. Every day that goes by is a risk.

There HAVE to be tons of behind the scenes conversations going on about how to deal with this and I HAVE to think most GOPrs are ready to amputate very soon....maybe even before the ink is dry on the AHCA bill. Although...pulling the plug on the administration would give the GOP plenty of reason and excuse not to pass AHCA...and the GOP desperately needs cover for the health care issue. KILLS TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE: Deals with a true security threat...and...avoids embarrassment over the lack of health care legislation.

Even if anyone is above reproach (in the blackmail sense) how easy would it be for a scandal or even criminal behavior to be manufactured?

I don't know anything... these are just my opinions. But I do believe you can bet your bottom dollar that what we know barely scratches the surface.
