Russian Roulette

Since Donald Trump announced his presidency. I have more informed By reading books, and watching TV, in politics, government, and American history.
I have been a regular news watcher on MSNBC. After the election, I started watching Rachel Maddow. She would tells us the news stories that no one else was reporting. Trump's real estate in the Middle East, Trump-Putin-Russia connection,Oligarch connection, Miss Universe, money laundering, hacking of the DNC, etc. Rachel was reporting, and kept reporting all this crazy stuff. To me, it sounded like a spy novel. The sad thing, it is TRUE!
When I learned where these stories are coming from. Then I learned these two guys were writing a book. I knew I had to buy it. I was not disappointed. I wish none of this was true. The book reads like a spy novel, think Daniel Silva.
I knew who Trump was from the 1980's from NYC. He was a slum lord. Always trying to get away with not paying contractors, swindling people, etc. He style was a big bully. Pull his weight and money around because he had lots of money. Well, there was a time he was in a lot of trouble. He lost a lot of money. Used corruption to get out of hock by money laundering. I didn't like him then, I don't like him now. CON MAN. The sad thing is I have family, and friends that are bought into him. Brain washed!
So scary, he has become a dictator. Slowly, but surely we will slowly unravel into a fascist country. I saw it coming before he was elected, so sad.
The last straw which was reported in the book, and now is reported. That a young Russian infiltrated the NRA. She influenced our GOP Senators, and Congressmen. She was reported to go to Christian's Breakfasts. They are giving money to NRA. This is all in the book before it came out last week.
The only thing there is a question is the "Golden Shower". Most everything else has been proven by our intelligence agencies. No matter what Trump says. Nothing has been truly proven yet against our President.
My thought why doesn't he just tell the truth, and defend himself. He acts like a guilty man. It is hard to review the book without going on with the investigation and telling my thoughts.
Chapter 14 was the important chapter in the book. Why Obama didn't do more to attack back? Obama was afraid it was going to look like it was partisan. I think he was damn if he did, and damned if he didn't. Obama didn't want to attack Russia, and retaliate . He was afraid Russia may get into the electric grid, or even worse. I think he was overthinking, and rationalizing. Which helped the Russian's, and Trump.
McConnell, the Senator Majority Leader didn't want to do anything. Shame on you. What I do remember hearing( not in the book) is that Obama had talked to people. That once he wasn't president any longer. He wanted the investigators to keep on uncovering. To hide that information from Trump. So there still is a paper trail and Trump can't sabotage.
I read Russian Roulette during the time of the Russian Summit. Trump is so stupid, really. Why Trump through the American people under the bus. Why he is suggesting that diplomats being interrogated by the Russians? Is he crazy?! Interrogating, you mean torture! Suggesting that we will accept Russia help with cyber security? He has not done anything to safeguard our country. Our elections are in November? The best thing would have allowed the transcriptionist to interview her. But, the GOP doesn't want that. They apparently want the Russians to infiltrate us again. Trump walks a word back. It is three times he says, " It's a hoax". Then Sanders lies to the American people. She just tries to turn the story around. To confuse people. The reasonable people know whats going on. The Trump Cult eat
I am sorry my review turned into a rant. But, I just had to give my take on the situation. Thank you Mr. Corn, and Mr. Isikoff for informing the people what has been investigated. What we know. By the way, the reason these investigative reporters wrote the book. Because Mueller's investigation doesn't have an obligation to inform the people. It is Rod Rosenstein. The truth may never come out.
Why our country is going back in time with abortion, and our freedoms. Why our country is not separate from religion and state.
The truth has to come out. We, the American People have to fight back. Vote this November, Democrat to take back the house. Where we have check and balances. People have to have empathy, heart, not reckless, nationalists, not divisive, and racists crazy people running around.
