It is not for trump.

Mitch McConnell reportedly linked to Putin, Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska and Russian companies

There always seems to be more to the story when it comes to Trump and Russia, and this time it involves Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell.
Earlier today, we heard that the U.S. lifted some Russian sanctions. The official announcement came on Sunday by Trump’s U.S. Treasury Secretary appointee Steve Mnuchin, who was Trump’s former 2016 campaign finance chairman. Mnuchin lifted sanctions on three Russian companies tied to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, who is a close ally of Vladimir Putin. Deripaska was also a business partner with Paul Manafort, who was Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign chairman. Manafort was convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion tied to Russia and also pleaded guilty to conspiracy.
It’s a very tangled web they weave.

On January 16, Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer led a resolution to stop Mnuchin from lifting the Russian sanctions, but Senate Democrats did not have enough votes, even with 11 Republican Senate members joining in support. With the Mueller investigation, even some Republicans see Mnuchin’s move to make Russian concessions—not in good time.
House members led by Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, also tried to stop Mnuchin, by introducing a similar resolution on January 17, but the Democratic lawmakers were also unable to overpower Trump’s position and Mitch McConnell’s Senate majority. Both Democratic attempts were considered to be symbolic.
Monday evening brought a new twist in that one of Mitch McConnell’s major donors, Len Blavatnik, who is tied to Vladimir Putin and other Russian oligarchs, benefited when Trump and McConnell lifted Russian sanctions on Sunday.
An earlier Dallas News piece titled, “How Putin oligarchs funneled millions into GOP campaigns.” is one of the best pieces you’ll read on the subject. Here are a couple of excerpts.

Blavatnik contributed a total of $3.5 million to a PAC associated with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. Blavatnik contributed $1.5 million to the GOP Senate Leadership Fund PAC in the name of Access Industries and another $1 million in the name of AI-Altep Holdings during the 2015/2016 election season. And as of September 2017, he had contributed another $1 million this year through AI–Altep.
Blavatnik, whose family emigrated to the U.S. in the late 1970s, is a longtime business associate of Russian oligarchs Oleg Deripaska and Viktor Vekselberg, both of whom have ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Along with McConnell, Republican Senators Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham received hefty sums from Blavatnik as well.
Lindsey Graham? That story needs to be written and/or revisited.

Right now, the point being made is that Mitch McConnell is benefiting from his direct and indirect ties to Putin and Russian oligarchs, which most likely guided McConnell’s recent vote to lift Russian sanctions. And it would seem he clearly voted in the interest of himself, his king and his Russian ties, when McConnell should have been working in the best interest and for the welfare of the American people. Pfft. His Senate seat and constituents are merely stepping stones for the corruptlittle man.
Many have suspected for some time that smirky McConnell was looped into the Russian knot one way or another. Watching the Republican Senate Majority Leader defend and cling to Trump, like a tick, has been difficult and disturbing to watch for over two years. Will this news get us closer to the end?
The real question is, why would McConnell and Trump do something so stupid as to lift Russian sanctions just as Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s collusion investigation is beginning to blow wide open? They have to know they are under a microscope. Why pick now?
One thing we do know is—Trump lives to benefit Trump. McConnell? He was doing that long before Trump came into the Washington arena. McConnell just plays his hand in a more reserved, sinister and insidious manner. But they both come from the same hole in the ground. They both have hurt and damaged masses of people overtly and covertly. And they both will be on the same ship that goes down. And it’s going down. It’s going down.

While the foaming at the mouth mad dog Marxist Progressives incessantly focus on Trump and their singular agenda of hate and his destruction, our enemies are working overtime to gain advantages over us. To that end Progressives are more eager and focused in destroying Trump than their concern for China, Russia, NOKO, and Iran to neuter us militarily and economically. Progressives are dangerous to America (1) mentally - consider how they diminished education while pursuing socialism. (2) Morally - this is almost laughable. What perversions of behavior and language are unacceptable today? (3) Spiritually - Radical feminist senators challenge conservative Catholic judges. Prayer removed from school. Every opportunity taken to challenge Christianity.......etc, etc, etc. If Democrats had not abolish the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities years ago to protect a cadre of their already growing Marxist legislatures and advocates, Progressives today would be at the top of the unamericsn activities list and are, without question, the greatest threat America has EVER encountered. They are, dear people, a very real tangible and vicious internal enemy. They are not our friends and we cannot compromise with them. Why no compromise? Consider the gains they have already made when we compromised our mental, moral and spiritual resources. What have traditional Americans gained? Not one damn thing!

That is precisely what crazy, blame it on someone else, Progressives think. They think this because they surrendered their common sense, integrity and morality to become a Progressive. Basically you're empty shells of once contained humanity.

I don't trust any Progressive so why should I trust you can count? I do completely trust your lies kill both body and soul.

Moldy, I think we deserve some kind of quotes from the media and sure don't see any. All you have done here is talk about the bad guys and not indicate one bit of information. Is there a chance that you may show us some of your, so good, news prints, or do you mean to continue with this kind of crap?
