    WHY.....it is easy to answer....

    Cap Hill source tells me "GOP anxious to ram through healthcare because they believe more bad news on Russia is coming" (which will halt the entire GOP agenda).

    McCain: No American has seen GOP ObamaCare repeal bill but I'm sure the Russians hacked in and got it

    Telling.....

    Obamacare had 100 Senate hearings and 161 amendments from Republicans.

    Trumpcare has had 0 Senate hearings and 0 amendments from Democrats.

    GOP and Trump had fewer votes in the general election thus they cannot truly speak of having a "mandate of the people to do anything that effects that majority who did not vote for Trump".....


    13 times last night on the Senate floor, we asked for @SenateGOP to #ShowUsTheBill. 13 times, @SenateMajLdr refused.

    Russian propaganda hard at work.....

    Kommersant source claims Poroshenko promised Trump lucrative contracts in Donbas if he helps with settlement.

    Nothing is written in Kommersant without Kremlin approval....

    Senate adds more Russian sanctions especially around Crimea..goes to House where it is a full stop as the House has at least 15 proPutin proRussian House members...

    Trump allies in House GOP pounce on procedural issue to delay Russia/Iran sanctions bill

    REMEMBER Tillerson just this week warned about even passing a single extra sanction.....

    BUT if this Russian is correct...then the House can pass the sanctions and Tillerson will be happy..because...

    Russian Deputy FM Ryabkov regrets new US sanctions but says they won't hurt a bit.

    NOT BREAKING NEWS - Contrary to Russian social media, US bomber did not drop bomb on Lithuania by mistake.

    For analysis of this fake news story...

    VERY GOOD analysis of how a fake news story is generated and pushed.....

    Kremlin: No Trump-Putin meeting being planned at G20 in July but they're not ruling out a meeting on the summit sidelines.

    No planned agreements or other statement....

    Yesterday......…Treasury sanctioned Russians and State blasted Saudi Arabia, in seeming contradiction to the statements of Donald J. Trump and his Qatar tweets.......

    JUST more and more Trump WH FP disconnect....

    Donald Trump, Felix Sater and the Mob: Lawyers Push to Unseal Court Documents They Say Could Show Fraud by President
    http://www.newsweek.com/trump-sater-...-behar-627408#

    This particular fraud case was well known by GOP before the elections...one truly wonders why nothing was said before the election.....or was winning simply all they are interested in and not interested at all in the well being of the US???

    Valid question.....

    A NPR Journalist was recently in Moscow and asked via email for a Russia Today interview for NPR....

    This is actually the response she received from RT.....

    Dear Mary Louise Kelly,
    Thank you for your request to meet. We have been informed, via our red phone straight to the Kremlin, that the officers who have tracked you since you landed sense that your mind is already made-up on this issue, and so meeting to discuss the baseless accusations made against RT would be fruitless. We politely refer you to the man in the blacked-out Volga parked outside your hotel for further explanation.
    Best regards,
    RT Press Office

    Wow...those sudden Chinese trademarks awarded to the Trump daughter and Trump are paying off quickly...

    China has invited Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner this fall as a way to clear the way for a President Trump visit, @QiZHAI reports.

    Trump WH is urgently trying to establish some kind of Russian relationship before the G20 AS Putin needs great PR to show his citizens and Trump needs to deflect from his own investigations...


    Top US State Dept official Tom Shannon to meet June 23 in St. Petersburg with DepRussForMin Sergey Ryabkov.

    NOTICE it is US traveling not vice versa....always intrepreted by Russia as a sign of weakness and the Russians the stronger partner....

    Trump's recent meeting with the tech industry was nothing more or less than a large meeting on how to out source everything to Silicon Valley......under the mantra the government does not know better than we do.....

    Silicon Valley doesn’t know its own history. The Internet was designed and run by the government —#then privatized.

    The current internet used to be named in the early 90s....ARPANET......as it was developed and paid for by the US government....

    Actually a lot of the Trump moves and cabinet nominees really want to privatize all federal agencies as there is more money to be made by friendly to them corporations than leaving the agencies alone....and intact.......

    MORE indications that Trump is all about making money for US businesses but not lowering costs to his voters....AND he has absolutely no interest in lowering overall healthcare costs as he stated during his campaign...nor provoidoing a "great healthcare plan at lower costs"....

    Trump Order Would Ease Drug Rules and Appease the Industry
    By SHEILA KAPLAN and KATIE THOMAS
    A draft of an executive order obtained by The Times appears to give the drug industry what it wants with no guarantee that consumer costs will fall.

    Appears that now the US AG has gotten his own lawyer......

    Jeff Sessions has lawyered up. He's retained the well-known GOP lawyer Chuck Cooper.
    http://bit.ly/2rA7qN1

    Is there anyone in the Trump WH that has by now not gotten a lawyer??????

    Trump, Russia and a Shadowy Business Partnership

    An insider describes the Bayrock Group, its links to the Trump#family and its mysterious access to funds. It isn't pretty.
    https://www.bloomberg.com/view/artic...als-at-bayrock

    BTW...social media open source reporting had talked in great detail complete with documents from open sources about this Trump Russian basically criminal money laundering deal SIX months before the election BUT for some strange reason...Dems GOP and MSM flat out ignored it and or called the journalists conspiracy nuts........

    "Sater was a cooperating witness for [DoJ] and he continued going on a crime rampage...He seems to have unlimited funds."

    He was like a Whitey Bulger on steroids for the FBI in Boston but only in NYC...Imagine Whitey, but as the NYC rep for the world's biggest OC syndicate. Which is based in Moscow & tight with FSB.

    Over 15 years ago -- I was there -- IC knew Trump was deep in bed with Russian organized crime. Not legally. Imagine what they know now.

    BUT the question is still valid WHY did the FBI "overlook" what the IC knew on Trump back then....and WHY did they drag their feet on the hacking issues until it hit them in the face with the IC Russian hacking report???
