    In the end, this is chump change for Putin, who will certainly front the cash for control of the American government.

      I’m really hoping if he tries, it’ll set off all kinds of red flags with the court-appointed independent reviewer that’s watching his finances like a hawk. Maybe foolishly optimistic of me, but I really hope it works out that way.

      Also side note my dude, are you browsing politics news from your porn lemmy account? I mean, respect, but that’s hilarious.

        We can hope for sure. Trumps penchant for using his campaign funds for things could really obfuscate a lot of ‘donations’. The ‘easy out’ I see here is having one of Trump’s rich buddies (I’m sure he still has plenty of people who want a sweet cabinet position, ala DeVoss) takes dollars from Putin (likely as a sweetheart business deal) as a go-between. Money laundering has become an easy-joke these days.

        Can you IMAGINE the orgasmic feeling of Trump actually suffering a consequence. No better account to surf this content under. Also, I forgot to switch accounts.
