Newly unmasked evidence shows who put Trump in the White House - Thom Hartmann [View all]

(This op-ed by Thom Hartmann originally appeared in Rawstory under the title "Staggering evidence trove shows who put Trump in the White House — and controls him still | Opinion" - but was behind a paywall so I didn't bother.)

COLLUSION!!

Newly unmasked evidence shows who put Trump in the White House - opinion by Thom Hartmann - Alternet via MSN

The British newspaper Daily Mail is out with a deeply researched investigative report, the result of a long collaboration between columnists Glen Owen and Dan Hodges, along with Mark Hookham (Assistant Editor Investigations), and Daisy Graham-Brown (Investigative Reporter).

It’s shocking in its detail and its implication that Vladimir Putin has basically owned Donald Trump for years, even before Trump ran for president in 2016.

Essentially, they’re arguing that Epstein was running an operation on behalf of the KGB/Putin that lured wealthy and powerful men to Epstein’s New York and Palm Beach mansions and his island where they were surreptitiously filmed having sex with underage girls.

And we know that Trump and his sons, when US and European banks refused to loan him any more money after his multiple bankruptcies, started taking in enough money to ensure the survival of his little real estate empire and it was all coming from Russia.
