Leaked emails from Natalia Veselnitskaya 2 mo before TT meeting saying Jeff Sessions willing to

investigate how the Magnitsky law came about.

Wait a sec... you realize how BAD this is? Email was from Apr 2016... this was 2 MONTHS before the infamous Trump Tower meeting on 6/9/16.

"Adoptions," my ass... this was always their code word for "sanctions."

It's sad how much has come out after Mueller left.

An April 2016 email says Rinat (presumably Rinat Akhmetshin) said Senator Jeff Sessions was willing to start an investigation into how the Magnitsky law came about

death. "Fell" being the operative word. And there is of course Khashoggi, most likely offered up by Kushner in exchange for a bail out on the millions he owed on 666 Broadway. Wonder how many more there are we don't know about yet?

already have too much and want more.

Pepsidog cited a few common names of people like this. They may or may not be self-labeling as (R)s. They may be capitalists, socialists, communists, libertarians, pastafarians. These are just labels.

The Kochs, Mercers, Murdochs, Bushes, etc. just want bigger slices of the pie.

They know that their good luck will run out and it's best to build some nice huge gated gardens so the good times can roll while the rest of the world rots - because of them.

It really looks like this drip-drip-drip is inspired/pushed/dictated by patriots on the inside who are caught under this scumbag administration who could stay silent no more.

Appears to be several I AM SPARTACUS moments.

I think Barr shut him down and butchered his findings, though we'll probably never know.
