This inability to travel to the U.S. is part the Magnitsky Act that Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya works tirelessly to reverse.

Trump administration finally put out the list of Kremlin-connected Russians involved in conspiring to throw the election required by the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAASTA). The list includes every senior member of the Kremlin, and every Russian oligarch with a net worth of $1 billion or more.

Trump did not attach the travel sanctions to this list.

When the sanctions are attached, and these indictments support that they should be, it will cut down the number of Kremlin-connected folks flying over here to launder their ill-gotten money.

It's a start.
Bawwww hawww hawwww now that's funny. I guess there's need to grasp at any straw to justify the money spent so far.

These Russians that were indicted will never see the inside of a courtroom much less any handcuffs. We don't even know for sure what their true names are. It seems as though the group indictments are just stale bread crumbs tossed to the waddling ducks to assuage their quacking and squawking for a lynching of this entire administration.

You can write this down, Trump will not be removed from office by anything except his term ending. It's just not going to happen.

There may be some real nasty unintended consequences aka "fallout" that may just soil past administrations though.

It promises to be highly entertaining.

Trump told you as recently as November that he personally spoke to Putin who assured him once again that it was not Russia who interfered with the election. Trump said he believed him, over our national intelligence agencies. Now we know Russia did interfere. So either Trump is conspiring with Putin, or he's just an impressionable dotard at the helm of our country, putting our country at risk by his sheer naivety. And you seem to take great delight in this.

There will be a number of episodes before the spectacular conclusion of Trump vs. America.

However, indicting the Russians is a key turning point.

As you all may recall, the show started out with Trump denying the Russians interfered with the election and neither he nor his staff had any communication whatsoever with the Russians.

As time went on, it became clear that there was a ton of communication and now it is clear the Russians indeed interfered with the election.

"Unwitting" is the current defense. "There may have been collusion, but it was was 'unwitting'."

Seems a weak position, but let's see how it plays out.

They'll be singing a different tune when the dems put China and India to work on the next election.

Actually what causes the ROFLMAO is the senseless reactions from just small fits to that's been on display from the TDS/I hate Trump club. Calling him all sorts of names, misspelling his name and teeth gnashing in general is hilarious as hell.

Again, you can write this down, Trump will serve out his term. Not funny, not good or bad, it just is what it is.

Odds are that Trump won't last out his term.

Uh-huh. The bookies just blew the Superbowl big time. What makes you think they're infallible.

Without a doubt, the intervening episodes will be great entertainment.

And we all know that the series will end with a big bangski.
