The picture above is from Russian TV, celebrating 8 of the 42 Russian Asset Senators (the “Filthy 42”) who voted to lift sanctions against Russian oligarch Deripaska’s business. The same Deripaska who’s wrapped up with Manafort and various other tangles of the Trump Russia Scandal.
There is no benefit to the United States in lifting these sanctions, and great potential for harm. Most or all of the Filthy 42 voted to assess sanctions just a year or so ago. But now as the true dimensions of the Trump-Russia outrage become more and more apparent, these 42 Republican Senators decided to become Russian Assets. And now they’re stars on Russian TV. W#ay to go comrades.
The depths to which the Filthy 42 have sunk was highlighted today when a substantial majority of House Republicans voted with all of the Democrats not to lift the sanctions. We’re talking about many of the hard core tea party, deep red Congresspersons who nonetheless did the right thing when the Filthy 42 could not.
And now, according to Michael Cohen and other evidence, Trump instructed Cohen to lie about the Trump Tower Moscow.
So congrats guys. I suggest you follow Phillip and Elizabeth Jennings of The Americans back to Mother Russia, to whom you are more loyal than your native country.
Oh, and bring Asset Number One with you.
