I urge you to read the transcript (below) of an interview between Terry Gross and Luke Harding, author of the new book “Collusion” – about the extraordinary web of connections between Trump and the Kremlin. Moscow appears to have been cultivating Trump since 1987, when the KGB gave him and Ivana an all-expense paid trip to Moscow. The relationship extends over a long period of time, during which Russian money has flowed from Moscow into Trump properties, some of them in Trump Tower.
Putin is a dictator. Russia is an oligarchy. Our own intelligence services have established that Putin and Russian operatives influenced the 2016 election on behalf of Trump. Diane Feinstein, the highest-ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, who has reviewed all the intelligence, says Russia thereby affected the outcome of the 2016 election. This is our democracy, folks. Trump is an anti-democratic strongman who is modeling himself after Putin.
What do you think?
