Manafort was a paid ($10M per yr) but unregistered foreign lobbyist on behalf of Vladimir Putin's interests.

Carter Page was an investment banker seeking to broker oil deals between Gazprom and Rosneft and western investors. To curry favor with Russian execs, he became an apologist for Putin's policies and a critic of America's.

Flynn was another paid but unregistered foreign lobbyist. He was paid by oligarchs close to both the Turkish and Russian governments. He was forced to resign for lying to the Vice President about his communications with the Russian ambassador prior to the Trump inauguration. We know he lied because he apologized to Pence for lying.

Roger Stone, a Trump surrogate, has acknowledged being in contact with both Victor Assange and DNC and Podesta hacker "Guccifer 2.0". Both have been identified as Russian intelligence assets. Assange is a Russian intelligence tool, Guccifer 2.0 actually IS Russian intelligence.

The Kompromat dossier claimed 19% of Rosneft had been offered as incentive to get sanctions lifted. That assertion goes back to the summer. Then in December 19.5% of Rosneft gets sold to UNKNOWN BUYERS. Sounds like the 19% plus a commission and when things a dossier predict come true, that's a confirmation. BTW the price was a bargain.

Trump surrounded himself with foreign agents of influence. We have no idea how deep the coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence was. Was money provided? Did Trump campaign people conspire with Russian intelligence?

We know Russian intelligence hacked and released embarrassing information on Trump's behalf. We know Russian internet bots fed pro-Trump messages all over, for whatever that was worth. What else?

This is very very bad stuff. Republicans can pretend there's no problem and that Democratic corruption makes Trump's okay. The Russian influence issue is NOT just made up by Obama loyalists, the deep state, blah blah blah. They KNOW better! Trump looks compromised whether Republicans want to admit it or not and there needs to be an independent investigation of foreign influence on the 2016 campaign. With this much smoke, there is fire somewhere.

Are we going to have a country? People ask that about our border. We need to ask it about our Presidential election campaigns too.

Lock him up! could be his future. Stone and Manafort are in trouble. Flynn may be too. No one knows who they'll turn on to save themselves. Watch for "immunity deal" stories. This isn't Russia, so Trump can't have Americans thrown off roofs or out windows. And I hope Russia doesn't have the balls to start knocking off Americans in America. Presidential pardons to protect them would be an admission of guilt, but we may see that.

Republicans need to be asking if they're willing to take their party down with him.
