(25,881 posts)are completely confused about who the Mayflower Madam was. She had zero to do with that hotel, and ran her escort service in NYC, rather a distance from DC.
The Mayflower Hotel, on the other hand, is a quite respectable hotel in Washington, DC. I'm sure that more than one hooker has been there, but it's also a place that's quite comfortable for average people. I've stayed there, although that was some years back.

(13,903 posts)Unless this dude has some actual evidence to back it up, this is worse than saying nothing.
Not holding my breath on him coughing up evidence for this anymore than I am that Nunes is going to actually produce the intercepts he had his dog and pony show about.
Believe it when I see it.

(9,865 posts)So his source is another media outlet and a political journalist site?
This is the same thing Rump and Conway do. They say their "source" for their accusations is FOX etc.

(790 posts)Adam Schiff is on the Intelligence commitee and says there is evidence of collusion with Trumpskis & Russkies. And anyone who can see with their own eyes of all the connections between the two. Policy: Republican platform changed to help Russkies & hurt Ukraine. Trying to shake down NATO & our allies or we will walk, Support of Brexit. Meetings: between Russkies & Trumpskis that first they said was fake news, then later when caught try to down play it. Even Fucking Comey acknowledges a active investigation.If it was so innocent why did they first deny any one had meetings with the russkies? Campaign & cabinet members :like Flynn, Sessions, Stone, Page, Boris Epstyen, Manafort, Tillerson, Gorka, Ross, All have direct ties to Russia. Russia Oligarchs & criminals: constantly seen in Trump towers or Mara Lago, even having offices or residency in these buildings. Don jr. & him saying previously that most of their money comes from Russia. His failure to show taxes that would likely reveal these ties. And the final tale & most telling ; Putin sacking, killing his own intelligence officers, or other people with ties to this mess. Over reacting? All just Coincidence? I think not!

(37,748 posts)I've no doubt you'll provide us with objective evidence illustrating these particulars as false rather than simply making an allegation lacking anything to support it.
Or is that too, something I should only believe when I see it...?

If the 19.5% of Rosneft is in fact the proposed reward to be shared by the Trump Team, then it is important to note that the bank that has financed the sale, and holds the 19.5% as collateral, is the Italian Bank Intesa SanPaolo which is partnered with Blackstone GSO Capital.
The founder/CEO of Blackstone is Steve Schwarzman - who is also the head of Trump's Strategic & Policy Advisory Board.
Schwarzman was also one of the board members for RDIF when it was established in 2011, according to a press release at the time.
David Bonderman of TPG, and Leon Black of Apollo Global Management also served as board members for RDIF along with former Chicago Mayor Daly.
Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF)
Former President Dmitri A. Medvedev established the fund in 2011 with the explicit goal of restoring confidence in Russias investment climate. Vnesheconombank, a major Russian state-owned bank was the RDIF primary bank.

(11,996 posts)Circumstantial evidence strongly indicates that President Donald J. Trump and his campaign associates brokered a massive oil privatization deal, where his Organization facilitated a global financial transaction to sell Russian Oil stock to its Syrian War adversary, the Emirate of Qatar.
...
Donald Trump and Russia conducted the transaction in three phases; Phase 1 began in early 2016 with a meeting of the minds at The Mayflower Hotel to start the deal and a due diligence period, Phase 2 began just before the Republican National Convention and continued through Election Day, and Phase 3 happened after Trumps shocking win and concluding just days before Buzzfeed published the bombshell dossier describing the deal.
The end result allowed Russia to trade stolen emails to help to Donald Trumps election campaign (as well as that of many Republican Congressmen), in exchange for help circumventing American sanctions to transact the sale of Rosneft, which Putin desperately needed to finance his budget deficit.
The Rosneft transaction also purportedly sent a $500 million dollar brokerage fee to Carter Page, or perhaps the Trump Organization.

(7,639 posts)there's a reason Rex Tillerson is Sec of State and I think we all know why that is.
Big question for me is: Can the GOP and Dump get away with lifting sanctions on Russia now that all this info is out there?

(81,440 posts)Hey donald, you sure got yerself a leaky boat there. You're the one who insisted on sailing it out into deep water without bothering to check the weather. Because the "strength" of your "personality" and your "salesmanship" would see you through as it always seems to have done when you were king of your own little private family-owned companies. And when your "brand" still meant something.

(22,671 posts)The 'no longer circumstantial evidence' manure is coming out of the horse and Nunes, like a good little Scooter Libby did before him, is falling on the administration's sword in a last ditch effort to cover the evidence up or delay the inevitable as long as possible.
Weird! This is what uninformed votes have given us.
