During the 2016 presidential campaign, false information and fake news sites popped up everywhere.
But there was one true bombshell: The CIA (and FBI) discovered that Russia secretly interfered in the U.S. election. A former CIA director called Russia’s cyber attack “the political equivalent of 9/11” and a “threat to our way of life.”
During the campaign, Donald Trump said, “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you can find the 30,000 emails that are missing.” I believe that proves he knew Russians were meddling in the election.
Trump openly admires Russia’s Vladimir Putin and wants Putin’s friend, Rex Tillerson, to be U.S. Secretary of State. He travels to Moscow where billionaire Russians invest huge amounts of money in Trump properties in the U.S. and other countries.
Trump must reveal his income taxes to prove that there is nothing illegal going on. If he does not put all of his properties into a blind trust, I believe he would be violating the STOCK Act, which prevents presidents from benefiting from insider knowledge.
Trump’s close personal/ business/political relationship with Russia must be fully investigated to make sure that he is not violating U.S. foreign policy.
This is America. Putin and the Russians must not be allowed to influence the president-elect.
