Trump is obsessed with his Forbes ranking. So this all starts to make sense.

Well, I don’t know about y’all, but Steve Mnuchin is most definitely a person whose word I believe unquestioningly.

(Oh, yes, and I have a great bridge over the Hudson to sell, very cheap!!! Serious offers only!!!)

Something fishy is going on

US ‘name-and-shame’ list of Russian oligarchs binned by top Trump official – expert
List of oligarchs who had made money corruptly was withdrawn
At the last minute, somebody high up threw out the experts’ work

US 'name-and-shame' list of Russian oligarchs binned by top Trump official – expert | Russia | The Guardian

A “name-and-shame” list of Russian oligarchs who made their money corruptly from their ties with Vladimir Putin was compiled by the US government agencies but then cancelled last week by a senior administration official, according to a Russia expert who was consulted on the list.

It was replaced by an all-inclusive list of rich Russians apparently copied straight from the Forbes magazine’s ranking of wealthy Russians, together with the names of some top Kremlin officials.

Interesting fact

I did not know that

Seven months after Congress hands a veto proof bill in Donald’s hands, we’re still working up a report. Does it take that long to get a sign-off from the Kremlin?

So that means the real list is still floating around waiting to be leaked. It will be interesting to see who is on one and not the other.

Yeah, riiight…Just as soon as he gets with the IRS and helps them put together a postcard you file you taxes on.

Lying Morons. Ain’t gonna happen.

No sanctions until 'weezy buys a few Russian fur coats.

One way to deflect attention is to dilute the spicy stuff with some bland stuff, the original list may have been very ‘inconvenient’, I guess ?
