It's all about the oil deal

Tillerson, Flynn, Comey, and tRump.

These guys want to deliver for big oil and Putin in opening up the arctic.
The final death nail hammered into our planet.

I "followed the money" and the biggest money is in lifting sanctions and drilling.

And if you look at Dubya and Reagan, it was the same thing.

Reagan took the solar panels off the roof of the White House and buddied up with the 'petrochemical' industry.

It's interesting that such drama was constructed around Romney and all the other SOS 'candidates'. When they get to the bottom of this campaign communicating with the Russians, I expect what they're gonna find is 'pick Tillerson'.

he is putting in place because that is what will make access easier in the Arctic.
The US Navy has been building up to protect those resources from Russia. Wonder what they think of this or maybe the carrot of increased fleet was intended to keep them quiet. Deals - deals - deals

Due to the sanctions, they can't drill for it. So what do these backstabbers do? They work with the Russian government to rig our elections and put a Putin sycophant in the White House. The GOP at this point can't even deny it. There is just too much evidence. But instead of indicting them, they are calling for hearings and asking the FBI to look the other way. That is what the KGOP has become. Sickos.
