In today’s issue: On this episode of Russian revelations…

First and foremost, our thoughts are with those dealing with the destructive consequences of Hurricane Harvey.

But since Trump has demonstrated his lack of dedication and focus to the hurricane, and has set a higher priority on tweeting about his win in the election and his pardoning of criminal/racist Joe Arpaio…

…We will now shift focus to the biggest stories of the entire Trump/Russia collusion investigation.

After over a year of denial of having any business dealings with the Russians, it was revealed last night that Trump’s company was pursuing a plan to develop a Trump Tower in Moscow.

Remember this?

This news came out last night:

Details of this revelation below.

And this confirmation by ABC that Trump signed a letter of intent to pursue a Trump Tower Moscow deal 4 months into the campaign is PROOF that he was fully aware of this business dealing.

How is he going to weasel his way out of this one??

Also, according to documents submitted to Congress Monday, The Washington Post reported that Michael Cohen, executive vice president for the Trump Organization, emailed Vladi­mir Putin’s personal spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, during the U.S. presidential campaign last year to ask for help advancing a stalled Trump Tower development project in Moscow.

Below, an extensive explanation of what happened and what this means:

Woah.

This is the closest we’ve ever gotten to proving that Trump’s administration colluded with the Russian government. It is shocking. It is terrifying.

And in case you thought this is more than enough Russia news for 24 hours, during a press conference today Trump wouldn’t say if he believed Russia is a threat.

For being a pathological liar, Trump isn’t a very good liar. He’s worse than Jon Snow (**no spoilers here). But seriously, if he wants to convince us that he did not collude with Russia, and that he has no stake in the Russian government, he’s doing a pretty terrible job at it. Clear proof came out today about an attempt to, at the very least, work with the Russians and coordinate efforts in some manner.

Now it is up to Mueller and his team to determine whether there’s enough there to call it collusion. Ok, one spoiler: YES, THERE IS (hopefully!)
