The Last Word - Oh Lawrence touched on something that should scare DT

[LiberalFighter]

Lawrence suggesting that Putin has people in U.S. keeping track of Trump.

[dchill]

1. Possibly against their will.

The center cannot hold.

[mia]

2. Melania?

or Pense?

[HipChick]

3. In US? How about inside the WH...no-one there seems to have a security clearance anyway..

It's not like we'd know...

[R B Garr]

11. Good point! nt

[dlk]

4. It Wouldn't Be the Least Bit Surprising. Much is at Stake

[BannonsLiver]

5. So what does keeping track entail exactly?

[spooky3]

26. Nice little Presidency ya got going. Would be a shame

if anything were to happen to it.”

[BannonsLiver]

28. Thats sort of what i was thinking too

[BigmanPigman]

6. He'd better keep eating those "safe" McDonald's orders.

Maybe Melania has her own plutonium supplier? He'll be sleeping with one eye open, if he ever sleeps that is.

[RandomAccess]

7. I think he gets regular input from Putin,

some of it via Oligarchs who just happen to be in the same area Trump is, such as Maralago, or his New Jersey property. Other times it's directly, by phone, which we only learn about from RUSSIAN media, or perhaps Russian "diplomats."

And probably other ways as well.

[Generic Brad]

8. The wait staff at Mur A Largo?

Most of the staff at the Trump golf properties he likes to visit are foreign nationals. What better way for all of them to keep tabs on him when he is away from his West Wing crew that has overstayed its temporary security clearances?

[WhiteTara]

13. That just made me think. Do any of the resort employees

have security clearances?

[Generic Brad]

14. Possibly with the Kremlin

Definitely not with the United States.

[WhiteTara]

15. WTF. This is a madhouse

and there are no custodians, only inmates.

[GusBob]

9. Some porn star would do the trick

Eom

[GulfCoast66]

12. I see what you did there. Nifty!

[R B Garr]

10. They were over here to help Bernies campaign,

so why not to keep an eye on Trump here also. Makes sense.

They showed some people paid by the Russians at Bernie’s events. One was in a prison suit from that Lock her Up spectacle.

[moondust]

16. Russians lived in Trump Tower for years.

Did they plant bugs? Report everything to Pooty?

That's what crossed my mind when I heard Lawrence suggest that Putin may know more about Trump than anybody.

Behind Trump’s Russia Romance, There’s a Tower Full of Oligarchs

[Willie Pep]

17. That is a scary prospect.

I hope the Secret Service keeps an eye out for anyone suspicious. Trump should have realized that when you deal with the Devil you usually get burned in the end. Putin doesn't care about Trump except as someone for him to use and manipulate.

[ffr]

24. Yup! Dump is Putin's means to an end, sowing discourse in democracies.

[Lil Missy]

18. Of course he does. I'd be more surprised if he didn't.

[maddiemom]

19. Jill Stein, finally explained.

Her avid followers: not so much.

[First Speaker]

20. Tin Foil hat time: could it be Pence...?

...on the theory of the Least Suspected Person...but a lot of crazy right-wingers admire Putin's fascist regime. Maybe pence is one of them? And just how did he get on the ticket, anyway? Trump wanted Christie, and there were all sorts of rumors that he bitterly protested against naming pence, and even tried to drop him. Maybe he was forced to put him there...?

[thecrow]

31. The Kochs wanted Pence to be the pResident

[Snake Plissken]

21. Who do you think is buying all those $200K memberships to Mara-a-lago?

How much easier could it be to keep tabs on him?

[torius]

22. like the "monitors" in Orphan Black...

I think it's Hannity.

[Mountain Mule]

23. It's Jared Kushner

They'll give him the money to avoid bankruptcy as long as he keeps them up to date. Then they'll threaten to reveal the deal if he doesn't continue to squeal. Or else Eric Trump. They gave him an Etch a Sketch.

[Gabi Hayes]

25. Lookee here!

dixiegrrrrl!

Manafort sneakily got Trump to accept Pence as VP, on that infamous day when Manafort lied to Trump about the campaign plane needing repairs, so that Trump had to stay on the ground, and meet with Pence.

Mike Pence's brother, Ed Pence is VP for Cummins, a majority owned Russian state engine company since 1987.

Cummins uses Lobbying firm PPG.

PPG is run by Charles Black

Black was a former partner w/ Manafort in Ukraine PPG worked w/ TRNC as did Flynn.

Pence ignored warnings and got Flynn hired for Trump's Adviser.


More detail of this web, and why Flynn is so important to Mueller's investigation of Manafort and Pence.

[Sophia4]

29. Very informative. Thank you.

[Gabi Hayes]

30. I remembered some stuff about Pences slimy brother, and hit the google. Of course, the DU link

was the most informative. Manafort, of course, is “credited” with getting Doc Savage the nom.

That’s why Pence should be soiling himself, along with the FACT he ignored the Cummings letter when he was HEAD of the transition team

Uncanny how often that happens with the DU links, btw

[nocalflea]

27. While in Asia, Trump said that if the investigation continues, people could die.

Yeah , he's being watched by the Russkies. Yeah, he's in contact with the Russkies.

Who in his administration isn't ?
Besides Mattis ?

[dalton99a]

32. The Slovenian mannequin is probably one of them
