More Democrat corruption. This guy should be kicked out of the Senate.

I have a novel idea that could save a ton of time and money---

Let's just assume that every democrat in DC is a crook and a traitor up for 30 years in jail with no parole and forfeiture of all their property and benefits, then leave it up to them to show their innocence.

We could start by having each of them write Musk telling him what five significant things they did last week.

Would this be considered a conflict of interest?

Nope just plain old corruption

Why an unbuilt Moscow Trump tower caught Mueller's attention

Mueller's team said in a December 2018 court filing that "the Moscow Project was a lucrative business opportunity that sought, and likely required, the assistance of the Russian government. If the project was completed, the Company (the Trump Organization) could have received hundreds of millions of dollars from Russian sources in licensing fees and other revenues."​

​

The project is significant because it shows Trump was chasing a lucrative business deal in Russia at the same time that President Vladimir Putin's government, according to U.S. intelligence agencies, was conducting a hacking and propaganda campaign to boost his candidacy. The project also coincided with Trump's positive comments as a candidate about Putin and his questioning of U.S. sanctions against Russia.​

​

The special counsel has revealed in court filings numerous details about the project, which never came to fruition. Further information has come from Michael Cohen, Trump's former personal lawyer who was instrumental in the negotiations, in congressional testimony and in his guilty plea to a charge of lying to Congress about the project.​

Cohen confesses to lying about Trump Tower Moscow deal

WASHINGTON (AP) — The surprise plea agreement with President Donald Trump’s former lawyer made clear that prosecutors believe Michael Cohen was continuing to pursue the Trump Tower Moscow project weeks after his boss had clinched the Republican nomination for president and while investigators believe Russians were meddling in the 2016 election on his behalf.​

​

Cohen confessed in his guilty plea that he lied to Congress about the Moscow real estate deal he pursued on Trump’s behalf during the heat of the 2016 Republican campaign. He said he lied to be consistent with Trump’s “political messaging.”​

​

Cohen said he discussed the proposal with Trump on multiple occasions and with members of the president’s family, according to documents filed by special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian interference in the presidential election and possible coordination with the Trump campaign. Cohen acknowledged considering traveling to Moscow to discuss the project.​

Whatever the reason, the public’s reaction (or lack thereof) was entirely out of step with the details that were contained in the fifth (and final) release of the Intelligence Committee’s report. What was in those documents was deeply damning for President Donald Trump – and his attempts to dismiss the entire investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 campaign as a hoax.


https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/19/politics/senate-intelligence-report-russia-2020/index.html
Consider what we learned on Tuesday (with help from CNN’s Russia expert Marshall Cohen):

* Trump’s campaign chairman Paul Manafort’s “high-level access and willingness to share information with individuals closely affiliated with the Russian intelligence services” was regarded as a “grave counterintelligence threat,” and his “presence on the Campaign and proximity to Trump created opportunities for Russian intelligence services to exert influence over, and acquire confidential information on, the Trump Campaign.”

* Manafort was working directly with Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian intelligence officer, and tried to share internal campaign information with him. The committee says it obtained “some information suggesting Kilimnik may have been connected” to Russia’s 2016 hacking operation of Hillary Clinton’s emails and the Democratic National Committee.

* Roger Stone was tasked by the campaign with finding all he could about what information WikiLeaks had about Clinton and Democrats more broadly, and “Trump and the Campaign believed that Stone had inside information and expressed satisfaction that Stone’s information suggested more releases would be forthcoming.”

* Two other Russians who took part in the June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower with the top brass of the President’s campaign had “significant connections to Russian government, including the Russian intelligence services.”

* Russian government actors continued until at least January 2020 to spread disinformation about Russia’s role in the 2016 election – and Manafort (and Kilimnik) actively participated in this influence campaign by blaming the meddling on Ukraine.

* Russia took advantage of the Trump transition team’s inexperience and opposition to Obama administration policies “to pursue unofficial channels.” And it’s likely that Russian intelligence services exploited the Trump’s transition team’s lack of experience for Russia’s advantage.

These were just some of the findings of a bipartisan investigation in the Senate Intelligence Committee. And while acting committee chairman Marco Rubio (R-Florida) sought to emphasize on Tuesday that “the Committee found no evidence that then-candidate Donald Trump or his campaign colluded with the Russian government,”

Senate Intel Releases Election Security Findings in First Volume of Bipartisan Russia Report​
