The “O” word?

Didn’t you see the Manafort trial? You can’t say the “O” word any more!

From now on, please note that the preferred usage is Oli[CLANG!].

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Fuchs has engaged Giuliani, who serves as President Trump’s personal attorney in the special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe. They met in 2017 in New York over a project to “search for investors to develop Kharkiv’s economy” and to sign a deal whereby Giuliani’s security consulting company provided NYPD expertise to Kharkiv law enforcement.

Rudy Giuliani: A noun, a verb, and a lucrative contract with another foreign scumbag.

I like “boyar”. Putin is the Czar, the oligarchs are boyars. You know what that makes the people…

Late 2000s would be 2099.

I’m confused by that.

I had to give lectures where I talked about Fuchs Herbal. I always pronounced it Fukes, but that may not be correct.

It sounds like Donnie Jr. basically admitted to laundering Russian money starting around 2008. I expect all that has gone into Mueller’s hopper.

There was a Baroque composer named “Fux” as well. I always hoped it was pronounced Fukes.

There’s a Thai restaurant here called Phuket named after the Thai province. I know better, but I still call it Fuck It.

Like a Dickens novel except with really stupid villains.

I hope I get to see where the huge influx of cash that came into the Trump organization in the early 2000s came from- somehow I don’t think his income tax returns alone are going to fully reveal that. I really, really hope that Mueller has the goods on all of the money laundering.

Also, I just want to note, that if an organization as greedy and stupid as the Trump org could get away with all of the crap they got away with until he decided to put himself in the scrutiny of the presidency, what the hell are all of the smart people getting away with right now and every day of every year?

And, of course, Klaus Fuchs, The Anglo-German physicist who gave atomic secrets to the Russkies in the late 40’s.

IIRC he was actually onsite in New Mexico, right?

That may be outside the immediate Mueller investigation and if he does have that information I’m thinking he would have given it to the SDNY. I think that’s who would be most interested in where that money came from.

Just speculating here…

Yes, he was. He was convicted and imprisoned in the UK for 14 years, had his British citizenship stripped and emigrated to (then) East Germany where he headed a nuclear research agency. He died in 1979.
