        Why would he need immunity to testify to a legislative body? What crime has he committed?

        Perhaps you should ask him and his lawyer, because he apparently thought he had criminal exposure.

        Again, you seem not to be even pretending to think this through. Also, again, who am I to tell Deripaska and his lawyer his fear of criminal exposure was wrong?

        What was criminal supposedly exposing dirt on a Pres candidate? I have thought many many times about this entire debacle. No Russian agent would EVER expose if they had kompromat on an official. Ever. That would nullify the entire point of kompromat. The entire thing is a lie

        AGAIN, Deripaska appears to have a very different sense than you of the kinds of crimes involved here. Hint: he probably has a better idea of what he did.

        Kind of weird that Trump and Deripaska share a personal lawyer, eh?

        Not at all! Pure coincidence. There are probably only like 4 lawyers who specialize in the Manhattan branch of the Russian Mafia, have great GRU/FSB bona fides, and leftover envelopes full of polonium.

        Just wanted to say that you do an excellent job covering an area of government and law that most traditional media journalists can’t speak intelligently about. Keep up the good work.

        Putin sends hookers to embarrass @navalny. Instead, Navalny investigates one of the hookers and accidentally stumbles upon an important piece of the Trump-Russia puzzle. This is amazing and hilarious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1481&v=RQZr2NgKPiU …

        Did you see the Navalny clip today? Honestly, I'm too uninformed to know what to make of it, but maybe you might. I can't tell if it's a real thing or Russian TMZ frankly.

        Somewhere between CNN's hate for trump and FOX defending trump is the truth.

        Could Waldman not have been telling the truth to Warner? Could be not have been in contact with Steele?

        Who's the one who boasted last year that he'd be a household name "soon," after telling what he has to tell about Trump? Was that Deripaska?

        Is it odd Steele and Deripaska used the same guy to communicate with Warner?
