Remember when... [View all]

...one could easily list all the crimes and corruption of a Republican administration? And recall details of all those?

I can’t even begin to list everything the #TraitorTrump admin has done in less than one term. Much less remember all the details of even one of them

The Bush admin made it a little tough but I still remember most all the neocons that lied us into invading Iraq: Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowiz, Elliott Abrams, Doug Feith, Condi Rice, Stephen Hadley, Scooter Libby, Michael Ledeen, Larry Franklin, John Woo, Jay Bybee, David Addington and more.

Other foreign players involved: Curveball (the main source of the false WMD intel), Manucher Ghorbanifar (Iran-Contra player who worked w/Ledeen and Franklin to help cook up fake intel and possibly gave info on the 9/11 attacks in the infamous meeting in Rome)

All that still easily recalled more than 15 years later

As for this admin, geez, I’ve read both of Seth Abramson’s books (Proof of Collusion and Proof of Conspiracy). The footnotes of all the citations make up an entire book on their own!

Trump, Trump Jr, Kushner, Erik Prince, Michael Flynn, Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, Michael Caputo, Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort’s, Corey Lewandowski, George Papadopoulos, Carter Page, Felix Sater. Foreign players: Putin, Erdogan, Saudi’s MBS, Kislyak, Firtash, Deripaska, Agalarov, and the big one: Mogilevich.

But all the details are too numerous to get into. At a high level it’s money laundering via commercial and residential real estate, oil and gas investments, nuclear technology shared with Middle East nations, human and sex trafficking, foreign influence on US policies and elections, arms sales, sanctions or the removal of sanctions, trump org grifting and Emoluments Clause violations and much more

History classes in the future will need to spend entire semesters on just this admin alone
