The House Intelligence Committee sent one of its members to Cyprus this week as part of its ongoing investigation into Russia and the Trump campaign, adding a new twist to the ongoing inquiry.

“Cyprus has a reputation as a laundromat for the Russians who are trying to avoid sanctions,” Rep. Mike Quigley told The Daily Beast. “It was extraordinarily helpful in understanding how the Russians launder money and why.”

The Democratic congressman did not go into detail about what he found during his four-day trip to the Mediterranean country. But publicly available reporting hints at how Cyprus may be tied to the committee’s investigation.

Cyprus has not been a primary topic of discussion within the scope of the House Intelligence Committee’s investigation into Russian influence in the U.S. presidential elections, but Quigley said that the country played a significant role.

“The fact that Turkey, the U.S and Russia and other countries are really interested in Cyprus, because of its strategic location… the fact that Russians launder their money there to avoid sanctions, and the fact that key U.S. and Russia players were there—all make it really important for the Russia investigation,” Quigley explained.

1. Cyprus hasn't gotten a lot of press lately.

Rachel had something about it a while back, but all the new shit coming out daily, it's getting hard to keep up. Is that the Dumpsters strategery?

Will the we get to see the ledgers to prove he is complicit in all of this?

2. Looks like the HIC is getting back on track

Yes, Cyprus has been another laundromat. And Trump's Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross was a VP at the Bank of Cyprus, coincidentally! Just like Betsy DeVos is Erik Prince's sister. It is unbelievable--the corruption.

I have been trying to figure this out since Trump started naming his cabinet picks, what vetting was done by either the Senate or congressional members? Does it matter because so many Repugs are complicit, that they all turn a blind eye? Greedy anti-American Repugs just want to get their fucked up agendas pushed through before shit hits the fan. They all gotta go in ipcoming elections! Wake up Sheeple! It gets me so worked up and dismayed, but no less determined to resist! We have to keep organizing and having meaningful discussions. We are all here on Earth for a limited time, we need to come together for the good of ourselves and community!

Sorry if I rambled. I am starting to have a panic attack! 😳
