Yesterday, FSFP and Campaign For Accountability filed an amended complaint with the Federal Election Commission, adding new evidence that has come to light since their initial complaint filing in December. This complaint basically asks the FEC to investigate and determine whether interactions between Trump campaign representatives (and other Trump insiders) and Russian officials meets the FEC definition of "cooperation".

They're not even trying to keep the corruption secret any more.

EB-5 visas available for the low low price of $500K (plus investment in Kushner properties).

Also posting this in this thread, as it is the same pattern as what happened in the US elections (Russian cyberattack on a US political candidate, data dump of hacking results via WikiLeaks):

#MacronLeaks traced back to Russian GRU (their military intelligence agency) by both Trend Micro and Flashpoint.

I loved the part where they tried to kick the press out "this is not the story we want"

What's really funny about, back when it was about to expire, this was said

Quote
The White House issued a statement to The Washington Post this week saying that the Trump administration is weighing changes to the foreign investor visa program. “There are serious concerns held by the administration regarding the EB-5 visa program, in part because it is not being used as it was primarily intended,” said Michael Short, a White House spokesman. “The administration is continuing to evaluate reforms to the program, which we believe is in need of substantial repair.”


And here we are in may, it was quietly extended again by the GOP. But now they're going to talk about reform. Minimum investment amounts, stricter oversight and reclassification of targeted employment areas (TEAs) /wink

All the while trump's son in law is rushing to push as many through as he can. Go figure.

Also remember quite a bit of trump supporters blaming this on obama the last time the GOP quietly renewed it. Wonder what their excuse is going to be now.

I've been quietly following the Twitter feed of Claude Taylor (former Clinton WH rep) regarding his claim that he has inside information about grand juries having been convened in this case. A call was made for journalists to reach out to Claude, and a few have, including Keith Olbermann who, according to the feed, initiated a DM conversation with Taylor via Twitter to get more information. That conversation led to this video produced yesterday (GQ link, so won't embed here - go to the link below for video):

It's going to be so sweet if this turns into something serious, and the #fakenews crowd can finally fuck off.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Trump is too stupid to have an elaborate plot like this.

Getting involved with russia is a strong weakness, it also reveal to anyone with decent mind how dangerous are those half-dictatorships today.

Do you guys think the Syrian bombing event, followed by the North Korea terror, were a good move to avoid a major mess ? (and also saving the trump appreciation pollrate)

jet fuel cant melt steel beams

At this point even the MSM is giving up on this. Regardless if there was or wasn't collusion between Trump & Russia, this debacle is over.
