Trump administrations lifts sanctions against Russian oligarch and Putin ally Oleg Deripaska's business empire
Mr Deripaska and his businesses — including the world’s second-largest aluminium company, Rusal — were hit with sanctions in April in retaliation for Russian interference in the election and other hostile acts by Moscow.
Representative Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, who has criticised the administration for being soft on Rusal, said the move to lift sanctions amounted to Mr Trump “sliding another big gift under Vladimir Putin’s Christmas tree.”
Saying the plan “appears to be a shell game brokered by a sanctioned Russian bank, VTB Bank, involving one of Putin’s closest buddies, Oleg Deripaska,” Mr Doggett said it “only encourages Putin to pursue his destabilising activities around the world.”
You remember what Republicans said about Obama and Hillary being traitors to our country over the de-bunked Uranium One conspiracy theory or the de-bunked story of giving Iran their money back? Yet Trump continues to do everything he can to help Putin in plain sight and Republicans say nothing. If this was a Democratic POTUS who won the election after Russians were found to have meddled in the election to help the Dems, a Dem POTUS who publicly said "Russia if you're listening, there's 30,000 emails missing" and *poof* 24 hours later Russians hack the other candidate to release dirt on their opponent, a Democratic President who has repeatedly praised Putin and attacked our allies, a Dem POTUS who has secret meetings in the White House with Russians and Russian press but kicks our press out, a Dem POTUS who has some private meeting with Putin and only a translator in Helsinki and absolutely nobody can confirm what was even discussed, a Democrat POTUS who fires the FBI Director for the investigation involving himself and Russian collusion, a Dem POTUS who has repeatedly lied and changed his story numerous times about arranging a meeting with Russians in Trump Tower, a Dem POTUS whose entire campaign staff has pleaded guilty to multiple felonies ranging from fraud to conspiracy against the US for their lying and contacts with Russians, a Democrat President who suddenly yanks us out of Syria against the wishes of the Defense Secretary, Armed Forces Committee and everyone else because we have not defeated ISIS and we just handed Syria over to Russia which is EXACTLY what Putin wants, then that same Dem POTUS lifted the Russian sanctions on a Russian oligarch and Putin ally that Obama put in place to retaliate against meddling in our elections .... can you imagine the outrage on Fox News if this was the other party doing this shit?? Republicans would be calling for the firing squads and want him hanged for treason.
And yet ... Savannah is worried about calling out "anonymous sources" of recusing a complicit AG who wants to help stop the Mueller investigation because he doesn't see any smoke yet between Trump and the Russians.
How reasonable people can't put these puzzle pieces together by now because they'll defend their team's blatant treason to the death will be a case study for psychologists for centuries.
