The Trump administration doesn’t lead, it follows. Like seaweed swaying under turbulent waters! No plan or strategy!
More smoke and mirrors, Trump and the GOP are Putin’s lapdogs.
Absolutely. The Tumpists want those oligarchs banned from the US so that Mueller’s guys can’t interdict the Russkie’s at the airport and shake them down for information and evidence against Trump.
It was unclear how many Russians would be hit with sanctions or who exactly would be targeted. But under the same law, the administration in January released a list of powerful Russian oligarchs and politicians. Some who were on that list are expected to be targeted.
OMG, TPM, get it together. The "list" of Russian oligarchs Trump allegedly targeted was a lazy, sloppy copy and paste of a Forbes list. Geez, let's have some accuracy.
"The Treasury Department on Monday released a list of 96 Russian business executives who could face U.S. sanctions for their alleged proximity to the Kremlin. Instead of compiling the list through a serious, independent review, however, the department appeared to have simply copied Forbes's list of 96 Russians with estimated net worths of at least $1 billion."

Its not coincidence that right after CNN breaks a story that Mueller is grabbing oligarchs for questioning and searches as soon as they land, that Trump wants to put sanctions against those very same people.
It has nothing to do with interfering with the election. It has everything to do with Trump trying to shut people up so they won’t rat him out.
Yup. Spanky’s bought some time since the last round, and most definitely already cleared with Uncle Vlad what he can do that’ll sell in the press but which really doesn’t actually interfere with Vladdie’s plans for the next election interference on the Goopers’ behalf.
Okay, so trump got the memo from putin on which sanction subject he can use now.
Let me guess, no more imported grenades?
The sanctions require all federal law-enforcement officials to immediately seize and gag any of the Russians on the list me turn them over to ICE for deportation.
Additionally, federal agents are to immediately cease any electronic communication with or surveillance of subjects on the list. The WH explained that the orders would eliminate opportunities for the Russians to undermine confidence in our elected officials.
More treason from these weasels. I see right through this charade.
Hopefully we can really target these dirty parasite criminals in the future. Jail them, seize all their foreign assets, lock them up in Russia and starve that country out.
Trump’s version of Russian sanctions: Only 2 flattering phone calls a day but I’m still available for kisses, cuddling and spooning with Putin any time. Call me!
What good does it do to impose sanctions, when the Trump administration never enforces them?
Isn’t giving advance notice kind of a bad idea since it allows money to be moved around?
Moving US troops to the Mexican Border is one of the harsher sanctions being imposed…
Trump Admin To Impose More Russian Sanctions For Alleged Election Meddling
I don’t want to get too picky here (to be honest, I love getting picky), but do the article and its title disagree with one another?
The title refers to “more… sanctions.” However, the article seems to suggest that they’re the same sanctions, but that they are being applied to more Russians.
Oftentimes, it seems more like they are Putin’s lap dancers.
Maybe so, but the new list of additional Russian oligarchs to be targeted will be compiled and vetted by Fox & Friends.
