Ten years ago, I read two articles about Trump's relationship with Felix Sater and the Russian Maffiya operating out of Trump Tower. I leapt to the conclusion that Trump's a Russian agent. My friends laughed at me. Fucking hilarious how the country could have avoided fascism by paying attention.
them now? Does it explain the polling data…the summit…the calls…the pattern? The honest answer is: it stopped fitting a while ago. The Razor flipped sides years back. The people still swinging it…just haven’t noticed.
Remember the rule. The simple explanation wins only when it fits the facts as well as the complicated one. “He just admires strongmen” fit the facts in 2016. Does it fit
A Putin ally bankrolls the president’s son. The president shrugs. The president schedules a birthday call. Explain all of that with “he just admires strongmen” and see how much shaving the Razor has to do.
with Putin by phone about the results of his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner’s trips to Moscow and Kyiv. Kushner…you’ll recall…was a guest at the wedding the oligarch paid for.
set up with Putin on October 7…and reminded them it was Putin’s birthday. The Kremlin later said no call took place that day…but that there were “no delays” in arranging one. This is the same president who…a month earlier…spoke
counterintelligence official put it more plainly to ProPublica: if someone pays for your wedding, eventually you owe them something. Anyone with a 2nd grade “graduation” certificate…knows that. Three weeks after that…Trump told reporters he had a call
then four days later defended the arrangement as common, said “a lot of people have parties,” and claimed…without elaborating…that his son had paid the money back. Don Jr. and his wife called it an “extraordinarily generous gift” from a “dear friend.” A retired senior FBI
rental and fireworks at Donald Trump Jr.’s Bahamas wedding celebration in May. Putin had just given Kremlev the Order of Friendship…and Kremlev had traveled with Putin to China days before the party. The president said he had no idea who Kremlev was…
get cut out…the ceasefire deals announced from Washington that Moscow doesn’t seem to have agreed to. Then came September. ProPublica reported that Umar Kremlev…a Russian oligarch close to Putin…quietly paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for the private-island
next to Putin and sided with him over his own intelligence agencies. Then came the second term: the red carpet in Alaska for a man under an International Criminal Court arrest warrant…the phone calls that keep happening while European allies
polling data to Konstantin Kilimnik, whom the committee identified as a Russian intelligence officer. That is not a theory. That is a finding, signed off by Marco Rubio. Then came Helsinki…where an American president stood
declined to charge because of Justice Department policy on sitting presidents. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee went further in 2020. Its bipartisan report found that Trump’s campaign chairman…Paul Manafort…handed internal
Funny thing about the record, though. It never went away. It just kept accumulating. The Mueller Report documented that Russia interfered in the 2016 election in a sweeping and systematic fashion…and laid out ten episodes of potential obstruction it
They said it was time to move on…talk about kitchen-table issues…stop sounding like the people with the string and the corkboard. Pundits who would never say so on camera…said it at dinner parties: the Russia thing is overblown.
diplomacy has been filed under “conspiracy theory.” And…not just by Republicans. Plenty of elected Democrats did it too. They called it a distraction. They said the base was obsessed.
Which Brings Us to Trump For nine years, the claim that Donald Trump’s relationship with Vladimir Putin was something other than ordinary
This is why NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch must go. On Thursday, October 8, after ICE shot a man who was later taken into federal custody, NYPD officers were allegedly instructed to turn off their body cameras.
