Want to help your friends understand what’s happening to our country? Especially your friends and family who still have faith in the Mainstream Media or the Democratic Party, in the FBI or the Dept. of Justice? I can help with that. Cut and paste the following “news story” and send it to them.

Wait for their reactions, for them to say:

You see, I told you so! The Trump administration was corrupt and in bed with the Russians, just as the Mueller investigation set out to prove. Congress was right to impeach him, and should have removed him from office. But the Republicans put partisanship over patriotism.

Then when they say that predictable stuff, send them this simple correction:

Oh, by the way, in that news story there were a few facts that were wrong. For the real story, click here, or just plug in ‘Joe Biden’ for ‘Donald Trump’ and ‘Hunter Biden’ for ‘Eric Trump.’ And change the dates to match the time when Biden was Vice President. Are you still outraged? Do you still think this is impeachment-level corruption?

Or maybe, just maybe, you are the one putting partisanship over patriotism. Something to think about.

House Exposes Trump Family Connections to Russian and Other Oligarchs

FOX NEWS, August 9, 2018:

House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., released a third memo Wednesday about the Trump family’s foreign business dealings, producing bank records purporting to show that Eric Trump and his business associates received millions in payments from Russian and Kazakhstani oligarchs while his father was president.

The 19-page memo, which provides screenshots of redacted bank records, says millions in payments came from Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, as well as Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina and Kazakhstani oligarch Kenes Rakishev, and that President Trump attended dinners with Baturina, Rakishev and a representative from Burisma.

“President Trump met—in person, for significant periods of time—with those individuals or their representatives,” the memo states. “President Trump joined approximately 20 phone calls on speakerphone with Eric Trump’s foreign business associates and attended dinners with foreign oligarchs who paid huge sums of money to Eric Trump. Donald Trump, ‘the brand,’ was the only product the Trumps sold.”

The “Third Bank Records Memorandum” follows two previous memos tying Trump family members to payments linked to entities in China and Romania. The committee says the foreign payments to the Trump family now total over $20 million.

“During Donald Trump’s presidency, Eric Trump sold him as ‘the brand’ to reap millions from oligarchs in Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine,” Comer said in a press release announcing Wednesday’s memo.

The third bank memo, the result of subpoenas of several banks not belonging to members of the Trump family, specifically discusses three of the many firms founded by Eric Trump: Rosemont Seneca Partners, LLC; Rosemont Seneca Thornton, LLC; and Rosemont Seneca Bohai, LLC.

The committee provided screenshots of bank records they say demonstrate that Baturina, the widow of former Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov, wired $3.5 million to Rosemont Seneca Thornton on Feb. 14, 2017.

Then, a total of $2,752,711 was transferred to Rosemont Seneca Bohai, which Eric co-owned with Archer, according to Archer’s statements to Congress last week.

The memo said Trump attended a dinner in the spring of 2014 with Baturina, Eric, and others at Café Milano in Washington, D.C. During his congressional interview last week, Archer said former Kazakhstan Prime Minister Karim Massimov and Kazakh oligarch Kenes Rakishev and “possibly” Luzhkov were also in attendance.

Earlier this year, Massimov was sentenced to 18 years behind bars for his reported role in an attempted coup.

Fox News previously reported that one year after the first dinner, Trump attended a second dinner on April 16, 2017, that included Baturina, Luzhkov, Eric Trump, Archer, and Vadym Pozharskyi, an executive at Ukrainian oil and gas company Burisma Holdings, on the guest list at Café Milano.

The memo Wednesday says the records provided show that on April 22, 2017, Rakishev, whose father-in-law was the mayor of the capital city of Astana at the time, used his Singaporean entity, Novatus Holdings, to wire $142,300 to the same Rosemont Seneca Bohai bank account, and that the next day, the exact same amount was wired out to a car dealership in New Jersey for a Fisker sports car for Eric.

The memo also showed that payments from Burisma for both Eric and Archer were wired to Rosemont Seneca Bohai.

According to the bank records, Eric and Archer each received 83,333.33 per month from Burisma, totaling $3,321,379.49 from 2017 to 2018.

“It appears no real services were provided other than access to the Trump network, including Donald Trump himself. And Eric Trump seems to have delivered,” Comer said Wednesday. “This is made clear by meals at Café Milano where President Trump dined with oligarchs from around the world who had sent money to his son.”

Comer said the committee would continue to seek witness testimony to determine whether Trump knowingly allowed his son to sell his “brand” abroad.

A spokesperson for the minority staff on the committee called the third memo “empty” and said it doesn’t implicate President Trump in any wrongdoing.

“James Comer has said over and over that this is an investigation of Donald Trump,” the spokesperson said. “Yet, none of the bank records he has released show any payments to Donald Trump. None of the SARs he reviewed alleged, or even suggested, any potential misconduct by President Trump, nor did they show President Trump’s involvement in Eric Trump’s financial or business relationships.”

The Cancer Test for Our Nation

What if such a news story had run during the “Russia Collusion” investigation in 2018? Imagine what members of Congress of both parties would have said, how media would have covered it, and what would have happened to Donald Trump’s presidency immediately afterward.

That’s what should happen to Joe Biden’s presidency now, if we were a healthy country full of honest patriots. Watch what happens instead, and you’ll realize just how spiritually and civically sick we really are.

Seriously, do the cut and paste, and send it to your blue-pilled contacts. See what they say.
