Senate Democrats fail to stop Trump administration from lifting sanctions on firms linked to Putin friend

Senate Democrats on Wednesday came up short in a vote to stop the Trump administration from easing sanctions on companies linked to Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire with ties to Russia's president, Vladimir Putin.

A motion to push that resolution forward in the Republican-majority Senate, which required a 60-vote majority to pass, came up three votes shy in a proceeding that saw 11 GOP senators side with Democrats.

The only one to miss the vote was Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. He was meeting with women who had accused his 2016 presidential campaign of sexual misconduct, his spokesman, Josh Miller-Lewis, told CNBC.

[...]

Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, who had warned as a presidential candidate in the 2012 election that Russia is the United States' top geopolitical foe, voted against Schumer's resolution.

Hello!

Адвокат президента США на арене:

Rudy Giuliani, on CNN: "I never said there was no collusion between people in the campaign" and Russians.

And on Trump, "He said *he* didn't (collude with Russians.) He didn't say nobody."

Rudy said this when Chris Cuomo confronted him with the Special Counsel’s claim that Manafort shared campaign polling data with Konstantin Kalimnik.

В общем, напоминаю -- "Yes, collusion".

Да, и по поводу того, что Джулиани -- просто клоун. Клоун-то он клоун, но вот это тоже совершенно верно:

This is always how Rudy gets ahead of news. He goes on cable tv, does a wild interview, and shares stuff that appears to be gaffe when it’s not. He did the same thing with the Stormy Daniels payments last year. It’s all intentional.

P.S. Опрос пока открыт.
