Dotards shock collar must have been triggered again.

This really ought to be the subject of intensive hearings in the Foreign Relations and Oversight committees. Mnuchin and Treasury basically lied bald faced about the impact of lifting the sanctions (Putin’s right hand man, and Manafort’s handler continues to maintain control). Given how this looks like a payback to Putin for his ongoing support of Trump, hearings into the linkage is needed badly.

Trump and Mnuchin are really selling out the USA here.

TREASON in plain sight. Incredible that they are this brazen, but typical at the same time.

This will be the eleventh “how did nobody stop this when it was so obvious?” part of the future documentary series.

I’ve been repeatedly surprised by the GOP’s relative sanity and firmness on sanctions. Relative, I have to emphasize. And I’m thinking it’s not that so many of them still have shockable consciences. I think it’s that the base has no particular interest in oligarch billions, and that blowing off sanctions looks so incredibly, incredibly bad. As the collusion becomes ever more obvious and proven, the disgust will grow, and they know it.

“This action ensures that the majority of directors on the En+ and Rusal boards will be independent directors … who have no business, professional or family ties to Deripaska,” Treasury said.

The check is in the mail.

I’m sure this is unrelated.

“After the sanctions were officially lifted, EN+ announced the appointment of seven new directors under the deal, including Christopher Bancroft Burnham, a banker who served on Mr. Trump’s State Department transition team and worked in George W. Bush’s State Department.”

They are brazen because they’ve gotten away with it for years. Let’s all talk about outrageous tweets some more.

New day, new Trump treason. This single act should trigger investigative committees that last longer than Bengaaaziii or until Dotard is impeached and charged.

Nothing surprising here. However, Mnuchin is usually overlooked when we tick off the roster of the Inner Circle of Treason. I’ve got to stop thinking of him as only a part-time traitor.

Wow…it’s like they don’t even CARE that they look guilty as *** about collusion with Russia.

Not only that, but the Media needs to hammer away at the contrast Trump’s pandering intransigence on The Wall, with his total bent over, maybe even backwards, on Sanctions Relief for the major Russian Oil Company.
