Perhaps you could outline for us what the size and terms are for the various loans the Trump companies carry?

It’s an interesting situation, I admit, given that it’s different than his adversary just being flat out bribed by large financial institutions and sovereign governments, but I admit that they might have some power over him on future transaction.
Any clue what banks there are in Russia? Not using Google, could you name 5? 1?

Oh, I don’t doubt that parts are as real as can be.
Trump, or an associate, or an associate of an associate, has borrowed money from some corporation that is at least partly Russian, has had lunch with a Russian ambassador, took an RT employee on a date, even told a bit ahead of time about a leak of some DNC perfidy.
Now that politically fatal acts have moved from the illegal to ‘collusion’ to any kind of contact, of course it’s real. Heck, we’ve gone from contact to ‘forget to tell about every bit of contact’. While it seems that 95% of the uproar is BS thus far, it’s easy to see that something has happened…at least lunch.
It’s a bummer that the Left is willing to go to war with a nuclear power purely to push a President out of office, but at least the arms shipments to places like the Middle East will keep improving the trade deficit if Trump can be forced to bend the knee. Time for a drink, bringing down Western Civilization is thirsty work.

Paul, by looking at the context and times of both the decade old description of a number of real estate investors as Russians (meaning Russian individuals) by Jr., and the declaration of Sr. that he didn’t have loans, deals, etc. with Russia (meaning the state or state actors), yes, I can see where both may have been telling the truth.

I’m also not assuming the worst and filling in the details in such a way that inexorably lead to that conclusion, and you are.
