But the TRUMP administration's sanctions relief for OLEG DERIPASKA's companies was timed to make it all-but-impossible for Congress to block. And even if it were announced at a different time, it's highly unlikely that Senate Republicans would block it.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/04/us/politics/senate-sanctions-oleg-deripaska-russia.html …

I asked the
@USTreasury about challenges to its sanctions relief for the PUTIN-allied oligarch OLEG DERIPASKA. Treasury referred me to a spokesman who handles sanctions. His email said he was “currently out of the office on furlough."#shutdownhttps://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/04/us/politics/senate-sanctions-oleg-deripaska-russia.html …Show this thread

T-RUmp has been openly conspiring with Russians for years. Beginning to seem more & more apparent that the USA doesn't necessarily need Mueller's report to know that T-RUmp's in deep with the Russians.https://www.ngrippel.com/ngr-politics.html …

Initially, tRump was bragging about his deep russian relations, particularly with putin. At some point, tRump realized he was talking too freely and his story changed to the current refrain: I don't know Putin. I never met Putin. I don't have any dealings with russia.

Why is this not meeting w more outrage? Sanctioning of these Russian oligarchs is the best non-military weapon we have against Putin. The Magnitsky Act is a crucial tool, and I'm convinced T would overturn it in a heartbeat if given a chance.

Lifting sanctions on Deripaska is the least Trump can do as a favor to Manafort for providing only limited cooperation with investigators.

GOP growing a backbone and a conscience? Will believe it when they actually act. So far, it’s been cowardice and whispering in back hallways.
