the country from Putin in short order.

Putin was scared to death of Hillary, for a reason.

But half of the voting public worship Trump and Putin because Trump and Putin are on record HATING blacks, Muslims and gays.

They truly think controlling women's bodies is more important than selling the country, treason, etc.

The hatred of women and black people and gay people is what makes a deplorable or a putin or a trump get out of bed in the morning.

Guest List at Trump Jr.’s Meeting With Russian Expands Again

By SHARON LaFRANIERE and ADAM GOLDMAN JULY 18, 2017

WASHINGTON — A Russian businessman who helped arrange a meeting for Donald Trump Jr. to receive potentially damaging information about Hillary Clinton in June 2016 sent his own emissary to the session at Trump Tower, according to his lawyer.

Scott S. Balber, a lawyer for Aras Agalarov, the businessman, said Mr. Aglarov had sent an associate, Ike Kaveladze, to the meeting, which took place during last year’s presidential campaign. Mr. Balber said Mr. Kaveladze had attended the meeting “just to make sure it happened and to serve as an interpreter if necessary.”

In 2000, congressional investigators found that Mr. Kaveladze had set up more than 2,000 corporations in Delaware for his Russian clients and then opened bank accounts for them. The General Accounting Office looked into his activities as part of an investigation that ultimately concluded it was easy for foreigners to hide their identities and form shell companies to launder money through American banks.

Mr. Balber, who also represents Mr. Kaveladze, said Mr. Kaveladze was never accused of any wrongdoing and was simply providing a financial service.
