Did anyone else catch that?
Eight yrs. ago was around the time Dump's 7th bankruptcy was about to happen, and he sold that FL mansion in '08 for a $60 million profit, after 2 yrs. of sitting on it, to the Russn Fertilizer King, Rybololev (sp?).
There's a lot of shit in that transaction, all right.
How did Rybololev get so rich off fertilizer? I'm guessing you can make bombs from fertilizer, right? He could be Putin's bomb specialist. Just sayin'

(7,813 posts)the Trump/Russia angle as it pertains to the election? that's what the one Comey paragraph reads like...talking only about Trump's CAMPAIGN.
Are they investigating more? All the corruption, connections, compromat, putin friendly policies, etc? Because the election is one thing...but having a compromised administration is another. Both serious...but is the FBI investigating all of the that including after the election?

(1,129 posts)"Criminal" acts that may be associated with the campaign members' activities prior to & after the election itself.....
But they have to link the meetings & the content of the communications (desired acts) to events where the act was carried out or is in process of being carried out ....
The example today referenced a communication regarding the GOP position on Ukraine support... and that the position was in fact altered after the communication occurred...
Obviously the downside is that the evidence is not truly "evidence" until the act is in process or already completed....
But at some point, the circumstantial evidence may add up to a "compromised" determination & may be sufficient to deem 45 incapable of carrying out his sworn duties (25th)

(1,129 posts)We have also heard about the many times that Fertilizer Kings airplanes have been conveniently spotted at locations where 45 happened to be...
Another vehicle in play is Fertilizer King's Yacht... which has been spotted on occasion near Antigua .. next to Yachts owned by the Mercers (breitbart/Cambridge Analytica/Renaissance & Medallion --- $$$$$$$$)
And by Blavatnik .... whose corporate name is "Access".... his frequent business associates include Victor Vekelsberg (Renova Group) and LetterOne (L1) who owns Alfa Bank & Alfa Group..... amongst other things
Richard Burt is an advisor to LetterOne ...
as well as
Chairman of the Advisory Council @
Center for the National Interest
(Location of Trumps 1st foreign policy speech... attended by Kislyak...)
Burt "shaped" the policy of Trumps Speech
Attended 2 summer dinners hosted by Jeff Sessions & spoke about Foreign Policy & National Security
And provided "white papers" to Sessions on the subjects
There are many more links ...
the trick is to find the corresponding "transactions" which likely took place on various tarmacs or aboard a yacht here & there....,

(12,904 posts)Intimate that Putin had used Trump to spy on all the Russian oligarchs that had bought property from Trump?
I may have heard it somewhere else. My brain is kind of frazzled from trying to keep up.
But, if so, does that mean that Trump was an actual, working, Russian spy?
