After China, Saudi Arabia and its royal family was the second biggest patron of the #Trump businesses, spending more than $600,000 at his properties, according to the report. Qatar, Kuwait and India rounded out the top five list.” #CriminalEnterprise 🤑

I long for simpler times when Jose Grinda , Spanish prosecutor told us that "The President's son should be worried" regarding the tapes they had intercepted, listened to, and turned over to the FBI with Don Jr. on them. At least back then...it seemed like I could focus on about 16 or 17 folks and keep those on the carousel of my mind. Now...well......... Sigh. Love, StacyO 💕

Still outraged by this shadow government being run by the anti-president. Thanks for putting it into a concise memory for me. It’s so hard to keep it all clear as more and more things are added to the list. And meanwhile, “russia, russia, russia” continues to rape and pillage Ukraine, while undermining our country.

Greg why has our DoJ failed us so fucking miserably? Maybe it's time to just let this Capitalism Cannibalism Country keep circling the drain...as if we can stop it.

We need some bigger, newer words for insidious, convoluted and transnationally incestuous. There's not much poetry in these actions by the trump family, but I do appreciate you unraveling the the second act in what is sure to be a tragedy of undistinguished sorts, but major proportions, at this point.

Some have forgotten that Mueller and his team were not allowed to “follow the money” by the DOJ official in charge—not the recused Jeff Sessions but Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein. I believe that had they been able to do so, they would have found sufficient evidence for a criminal conspiracy between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia. The investigation would have also detailed how Cambridge Analytica ended up in the Trump campaign with its Russian tentacles.

Craig Ungar's "American Kompromat" is required background reading on Russia's cultivation of 45. Greg this is a great review of the ties to tyranny.

Underlying this discourse is the real horror, nobody wants to hold 45 and cohorts accountable. DOJ stays away else it look like a hit job despite clear law breakage. Judges, good and capable people ( Canon aside) do not want to be the first to lock him up, too many side issues. Why the press refuses to tell the true story is inexplicable, are they afraid of retribution? Headlines about 45's wrongdoings always create a false comparison with the Biden administration.

No wonder people feel okay with throwing Democracy out the window. Hell, he gets away with shit, why not vote for such a slippery character 45.

A sad state of affairs, SO SAD?

Never forget, Nixon colluded with Vietnam to prevent Humphrey's election. Reagan colluded with Iran to prevent Carter's re-election. Trump colluded with Russia to get himself elected in 2016 and Trump is colluding with Russia and Saudi Arabia to return to the White House in 2024. All three of these Republican traitors should have been imprisoned for life. We still have a chance with Trump, let's not blow it again.

“The more scandalous charges were suppressed..."

Yes, they were and are. Trump should be showing his bulbous, orange face in court every day, and take seriously the trial(s), and be glad - GRATEFUL! - that most of his criminal life has gone unindicted. But no. Like Mary Trump's first book, Donald has always been, "Too Much and Never Enough."

There are still times that I long for the real world that MUST be happening in a parallel universe, where Trump, after years as a tabloid gadfly, a failed businessman, and then a failed TV reality show host, merely faded from history and memory. Alas....

Will Jared and his Israeli and Saudi pals turn Gaza into a vacation territory?

We can only hope he meets the same fate! And then his children and family will be disowned by their dictator friends and thrown on the trash heap.

Although I don’t recall seeing the word “collusion” mentioned once in this piece, I heard it in my mind’s ear as I read every incident you were recalling, because it was used back then ad infinitum.

Last I checked about 72 million people "colluded" with him and that is the cold hard math of disappointment 😞. If we think he and his minions are going to accept any outcome other than a Trump victory in 2024, we are going to be disappointed again, jail or no jail. If God or The Friendly Aliens were going to step in now would be the time.

Agree that Mueller himself was a huge letdown. Had he come forth to say what was going on behind the scenes after no longer being special counsel at a press conference, it, might as you say made a big difference, especially in discrediting both Bill Bart’s take and Rod Rosenstein’s interference.
