In the country with the highest wealth inequality in the western world, worst health outcomes for poor people, etc, etc.

Drawing broader ideological conclusions from America-centric data basically guarantees that you're going to end up incorrect.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has received wiretaps obtained by Spanish police which implicate Donald Trump Jr. in a plot to meet with Alexander Torshin, a high-ranking official of Russia’s Central Bank, according to a federal prosecutor in Spain. And, the prosecutor notes, those wiretaps don’t bode well for the president’s son.

The above information was originally reported in May of this year but is receiving revived interest across social media because Torshin is said to have been the handler of alleged Russian agent Mariia “Maria” Butina. Butina was recently arrested on charges of attempting to influence U.S. politics and policy on the Kremlin’s behalf.

This Torshin-Trump meeting is alleged to have occurred at and during the National Rifle Association’s annual convention in Louisville, Kentucky in May of 2016.

Prosecutor José Grinda leads high-profile investigations into Spanish and foreign organized crime operating in Spain. According to Grinda, FBI officials recently requested and received transcripts of wiretapped conversations between Torshin and Alexander Romanov. The latter man, Romanov, was convicted of money laundering–after pleading guilty–in mid-2016.

On one such recording, Romanov apparently refers to Torshin as “El Padrino,” or the godfather.

Out of curiosity, do you admit you're arrogant? I sure hope so.

I mean, had I just agreed with you that libruls are bad, you wouldn't be trying to chirp me here. You live in a cultural/ideogical bubble that has zero interest in what the other ~95% of the planet is up to and I'm the arrogant one for telling you that Americans draw bad conclusions on American centric data.

So I say all pedophiles are dangerous, or all US presidents were or are corrupt, or that every single person who has lived on this planet is inherently evil and has a price ..... makes me arrogant? They are blanket statements.
And I am the most humble person i have ever met. Lol

It would be interesting to be able to have many of you sit down together and in a private setting and watch you all as you interact.
To see who would be the general, who would be the sgt at arms, who would be the thinker and the joker and the fool.
Ok, i will take the fool label lol.

Whoa: @AdamSchiffCA says that Dems on the House Intel Committee wanted to bring Maria Butina and Paul Erickson in for questioning — but were told not to by House Republicans, who were worried about “tarnishing” the NRA and President Trump.
