Consider this: Trump's fixer began pocketing money from a Putin-friendly oligarch about the time the intelligence community confirmed Moscow had attacked the 2016 election to help Trump.

1. What a tangled web...

riveting and exhausting.

8. Very abt description. Riveting and exhausting. Trump must be pumped up with amphetamines, no way

someone st his age and state of health, wakes every morning and intentionally dismantles a once strong and proud nation,piece by piece,without being juiced up on some kind of speed. I mean this monster is a one man human wrecking ball who by the shear force of a combination of rage, ignorance and ego is creating worldwide havoc. Even our allies are exhausted. I mean really every day this bastard exhausts me and I’m not trying to ruin the world. Trump should market the drug he must be on to do so much damage at his age.

14. Good point

I am stunned that he appears to destroy whatever he can, just to be destructive. There often is no rhyme or reason to his behavior, like a tornado or hurricane, reckless and indiscriminate.

10. That's the understatement of the year.

2. Could it be that the money was previously going a more direct route?

This is all so confusing.

7. cbs news said it was $500,000 n/t

9. The oligarch has $13.5 BILLION

and is the 4th richest man in Russia. Putin is allowing him to keep his money so there is that connection there. Also, he was pretty pissed off when Mueller nabbed him at the airport for questioning (but I guess most people would be).

12. Always follow the dossier

What does the dossier say about Cohen and money?
