And then there is the news that Tllerson used an e-mail alias to correspond about climate change--and try to avoid scrutiny of Exxon e-mails.
Make the world safe for crooked oligarchs. Putin and Trump policies. |

it is also noted that he was also still dealing with deutsche bank that was fined billions of dollars for money laundering of the russian illegal money. The largest scheme of laundering money in the history of mankind. IE again trump protecting the russians/putin. one of the other people on trumps cabinet wilbur ross is largest shareholder in a bank i think in cyprus where the money is also laundered.

| Quote: | | In October 2014, Wilbur Ross unveiled a new board of directors for the Bank of Cyprus. He would be one of the members of the board and so would Maksim Goldman, a Renova executive representing Vekselberg's interests. Also on this board was Vladimir Strzhalkovskiy, a previous board member whom Russia Today a year earlier had identified as a Putin associate and former KGB official. Ross and Vekselberg also recruited Josef Ackermann, a former head of Deutsche Bank, to come in as chairman. This was another Russian connection. As Bloomberg reported, "Ackermann, a regular visitor to the Putin-hosted St. Petersburg International Economic Forum while head of Deutsche Bank, is a director of Renova Management AG, an industrial holding company controlled by Vekselberg, 57, who was a beneficiary of Russia's privatization program of the mid-1990s." Bloomberg also noted, "Ross, whose group owns 17 percent of the bank, plans to share the vice-chairman post with Vladimir Strzhalkovskiy, who served with Putin in the KGB in the 1980s." So here was Ross teaming up with Russians in Putin's orbit to make a buck—or, he hoped, millions of them. |

| Turns out that the US Attorney Preet Bharara who was fired by Sessions was investigating the stock trades of Tom Price. The same Tom Price who is pimping the Trumpcare package that will lead to more deaths among the poor--and nearly a trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy. Make the world safe for oligarchs who cheat on their taxes and participate in inside trading. |

| What can you say about Donald Trump walking back on his earlier promise to Bharara? Pretty sad. |

The one consistent theme in Trump's appointments is that he has called on ethically sketchy people who have a conflict of interest to dismantle the regulations that keep them from doing unethical things. The latest is DeVos' hiring the lawyer for a number of for-profit educational outfits who want to dismantle any regulation that require disclosure of how well they do in placing their graduates in jobs.

There was no promise. He asked him to stay on. That's no guarantee of perpetuity. |

| Promise or not, Trump's word means nothing. How can anyone really trust him? He didn't even have the honor and balls to publicly come out and explain why he pulled the rug out from under Bharara. Trump is a snake. |

geee they must know something we do not know the trumpet had just said Russia is the evil empire, but they are applying for exemption. how does that reconcile, well it shows trumpetes true motive in his so-called thought russia talk.
and no it would not be great if we get along with the richest man in the world that anyone who speaks up against him turns up dead.
