Donald Trump, Russia and the 2016 Presidential Election

[admin]

I was just listening to MSNBC about the developments on this case.

It appears that Donald Trump admitted to firing FBI director Comey over this investigation. (I need to find that audio again)

Evidently the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network has offered to hand over it's data to some Congressional panel.

     - Will the head of the US Treasury now be dismissed?

Donald Trump's Financial Ties to Russian Oligarchs and Mobsters is also in question now with the Senate looking into his businesses.

They also said that the firing of the 43 US Attorneys was also related.

Are we witnessing an earthquake at the highest levels of the United States Government or what?

Your thoughts?

(Secular talk only please.)

ZEMBLA - The dubious friends of Donald Trump: the Russians

Although still in its early days, Donald Trump’s presidency is coming under fire. The Russians are alleged to be in possession of sensitive information about Trump. And that exposes Trump to blackmail. Fake news, tweets Trump: “I have nothing to do with Russia – no deals, no loans, no nothing!” Trump swears he has no ties with the Russians. But is that actually the case?
 

“Donald Trump’s business partners have included Russian oligarchs and convicted mobsters, which could make the president guilty of criminal racketeering charges,” wrote Steven Rosenfeld at AlterNet on Friday.

20 State Attorneys are calling for a Special Prosecutor

“We view the president’s firing of FBI Director James Comey in the middle of his investigation of Russian interference in the presidential election as a violation of the public trust,” the attorneys general wrote. “We urge you to consider the damage to our democratic system of any attempts by the administration to derail and delegitimize the investigation.” The letter called for the immediate appointment of an independent special counsel to investigate any Russian meddling.
