Congrats, Donald. Thank you
Vlad. I'm humbled.
(За здоровье!)
A recent tweet - the father's line:
“Russia has never tried to
use leverage over me. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA - NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO
NOTHING!”

Now from the son, Donald, Jr., an older quote — oops...!!!
Now try to tie it all together, even if that's humanly possible in this PR era with this: BREAKING NEWS FROM WASHINGTON, DC from McClatchy DC News with this
startling headlines, which alone is disturbing to say the least:
FBI and five other agencies probe
possible covert
Kremlin aid to Trump
The
FBI and five other law enforcement and intelligence agencies have collaborated
for months in an investigation into Russian attempts to influence the November
election, including whether money from the Kremlin covertly aided
President-elect Donald Trump, two people familiar with the matter said.
The
agencies involved in the inquiry are: the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, the DOJ, the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes
Enforcement Network, and representatives of the DNI sources have said.
Investigators
are examining how money may have moved from the Kremlin to covertly help Trump
win, the two sources said.
One of the allegations involves whether a system for
routinely paying thousands of Russian-American pensioners may have been used to
pay some email hackers in the United States or to supply money to
intermediaries who would then pay the hackers, the two sources said.
[…]
Mr. Trump, the president-elect, will be inaugurated January 20, 2017 (Friday at
high noon), said in a press conference that he believes Russia was involved
with the hacking (but possibly others instead), and he has at times called
allegations that he or his associates were involved in such as a “political
witch hunt” and a “complete and total fabrication.”
Related: Mr. Trump has yet to say whether FBI Director James
Comey will be retained. However, the rest of Trump’s newly appointed
intelligence and law enforcement chiefs will inherit the investigation, whose
outcome could create national and international fallout.
Noteworthy:
Mr. Trump's presidential transition team did not respond to a request for
comment about this latest inquiry.
As
always, stay tuned. This for sure is a very critically-important story.
