    Natalia Veselnitskaya DID represent Prevezon Holdings,
    Along with others, yes. That's ostensibly why the Obama administration let her into the country.
    they were guilty of laundering Russian money,
    Well, that's what they were charged with. Were they guilty? Maybe.
    Trump DID fire the prosecutor leading the investigation,
    True. He's allowed to do that. I seem to recall a recent Democratic president firing every single one of them after he was sworn in. In any case, from what I recall the guy was rather hostile to Trump.
    and the DOJ (headed by Sessions) did settle the case unexpectedly for peanuts.
    Perhaps they saw rather less evidence of wrongdoing than a guy who was overzealously pursuing the case. I don't know, since I haven't seen the evidence. Of course, you haven't either.
    It's kinda of hard for something to be a conspiracy theory, if it happened, OBP.
    Your story line is the very definition of a conspiracy theory - you're spinning all the facts, and a little theory, in the worst possible light, then assuming your interpretation is the only possible conclusion.

      If Trump came out and said the earth was flat, a majority of his brain dead worshippers would agree. Right MM?

      The New York Times published a write up of a new interview with Donald Trump in which he bashes Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, acting FBI Director Andrew McCable and Special Counsel Robert Mueller...having already sacked FBI Director Comey. All because of the Russia story! But nothing suspicious here is there?

        Um...no. You see, unlike a liberal like you, we conservatives think for ourselves and don't simply bow to the will of our political masters.

        No, it's not suspicious at all. The President is understandably frustrated that he's continually dogged by these false accusations for which there is no evidence. Put yourself in his shoes (assuming you can relate to someone with an IQ higher than room temperature): suppose a group of people at your workplace falsely accused you of embezzlement and brought it up day after day after day despite there being no evidence that you ever so much as stole even a pencil from your employer. Wouldn't it wear on your nerves after a while to the point that you might feel compelled to express frustration?

        • It all goes back to 9/11 when Trump and the Russians colluded to hire muslim terrorists to destroy the World Trade Center towers in order to raise the value of Trump's property in New York City.

          Hey, it's not a conspiracy theory if it's true!

            Right! <smirk> But with a little bit of help from Breitbart

            If it’s not suspicious, why does he act so guilty? E.g. sacking Comey, who was investigating his ties to Russia? Trying to find dirt on Special Counsel Mueller and drawing a red-line re Trump finances for him and talk of sacking him too. Trying to force Session’s resignation, for daring to recuse himself from the Russia investigation when Trump needed him most? The list is endless.

            Wouldn't it wear on your nerves after a while to the point that you might feel compelled to express frustration?
            No! I would do everything to clear my name, i.e. the opposite to what Trump is doing. He's doing everything in his power to hinder the investigation.

              Sounds approximately as plausible as the Bush administration's idea that Saddam Hussein totally did it.

                hmm looks like some of our historically challenged students need a brief history lesson.

                Class can some one tell me what Country the U.S went to war with a few months after terrorists flew planes into the world trade center and Pentagon?

                Yes CP?
                "Afganistan"

                Why did we go to war with Afghanistan?

                Sparko?
                "because the Taliban who were in control of Afghanistan had ties with Al queda the terrorist group that flew the planes and gave them a safe haven before and after the terrorist attack on us.

                Who was the President of the United States when we went to war with Afghanistan?

                RG?
                George Bush.

                and what country was Saddam Hussein the leader of?

                Bill The Cat?
                "Iraq"

                  Sigh!

                  And what country did most of the 9/11 hijackers come from? Correct: Saudi Arabia.

                  And what six Muslim-majority countries in the Middle East did Trump attempt to ban immigration from? Correct: NOT Saudi Arabia...or Muslim countries where he has business ties.

                  And what county did Trump visit with the greatest fanfare and most groveling? Correct: NOT the US’s traditional allies in the West. It was Saudi Arabia.

                    Yup. If I were as ignorant as RTT, I would never post and would just read what other people wrote hoping to learn from it and knowing I had nothing of value to add.

                    Apparently she's unaware that one of the major lies from the Bush administration in their drum-beating lead-up to Iraq was their allegations that Saddam Hussein was involved in 9/11.
