MSM in the US has largely been silent.

#1 They are waiting for drive time news to break the story.

#2 Need to confirm before mentioning.

#3 There is something amiss.

Latest article title in WaPo

Russian oligarch threatens to sue media over opposition investigation.

Hmm perhaps that is why media is slow in reporting this story.

Something I do find odd. It certainly is a small yacht for a billionaire.

Yeah, while working for the DNC and the Podestas.

6/ Given Deripaska's ties to Trump's then-Campaign Manager, and his byzantine secrecy in speaking to a Kremlin agent on US-Russia relations, I can't imagine that *anyone* believes for even an instant Deripaska wasn't discussing Trump with Prikhodko. What Navalny says makes sense.

Perhaps, perhaps not.

or,

Perhaps Putin, Trump, and Manafort.

Only 2.25 million viewers of that video so far.

Russians may actually turn out to be a factor. I think they are slowly grouping against corruption. They may conclude that meddling in US elections were all part of a plan to further the Putin hold on power.

So it is the Russians themselves which may come forward more and more to denounce their leader for collusion with America. Patriotism in Russia is much stronger than patriotism in the US.

Too many Americans for some reason will defend collusion with Russia.

So why are we different?

I speak of the active posters who believe collusion took place.

Why are we different than the "red scare".

From Wikipedia.

A "Red Scare" is promotion of widespread fear by a society or state about a potential rise of communism, anarchism, or radical leftism.

The red scare was a fear that a large population of the US had become left leaning and embraced the communists.

I believe a very small portion of the elite population were willing to do anything to obtain power for their own interests.

This is anything but communist in intent.

I don't claim Manafort and Trump are lefties and communists. If anything the first two are hyper-consumers of goods, luxuries, and perhaps women.

Deripaska: So this is the guy that Sen. Warner wanted to have an interview with. Wonder why?

I finally found confirmation that the State Department suspected Russian intervention based upon the dossier in July 2016.

See: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/victori...steele-dossier
It's a recent interview with Victoria Nuland who was the subject matter the two Russians were discussing in August.

Question, How did the Russians know that Nuland knew about their activities?

post 16. She's a friend of Prikhodko,"....(the Krelim deputy PM) ....

Seems as if one more person in the Obama administration has ties to Russian leadership.
