I was watching the Senate Confirmation hearing on Trump's pick for the top law enforcement officer, who is Senator Jeff Sessions form Alabama when CNN News breaks in with a "Special Report". CNN is reporting that three (3) of the top Intel Agencies in the US have reported to Trump (and other top officials) that the Russians have " Compromising Intelligence" on Trump......both "Personal and Financial". My first reaction was...OK, so Trump is banging some Bimbo on a Access Hollywood bus. Big deal, everyone knows the kind of guy he is, hell he's on tape and video admitting it. But then they talk about his financial interests in Russia and the plot thickens...so to speak. The Intel organizations are (1) NSA, (2) CIA, and (3) FBI. They claim the information is credible and comes from none other than.....drum roll please.....British MI6. My thoughts then were WOW.....if this is true it would explain why Trump continued to disbelieve the Intel Communities continued assertion that Russia did in fact hack into the Democratic Parties computers, downloaded all of the emails, gave them to Wiki-Leaks to be published in an effort to sway the election. This is still in the early stages, but what a bombshell this is for American politics. Holy Madre de Hey-Sues.

Well look at it this way, he will be wanting better relations with Russia & that isn't necessarily a bad thing. He won't want any of his investments going belly up.

I'm just worried that he'll trade the keys to the White House for a Hotel in downtown Moscow. I got up at three this morning to catch the daily Trump Twitter Tirade..................but no tweets from Trump. This guy will tweet about anything....why not accusations that he's in the pockets of the Ruskies?

I don't think he has far to fall. It's not like JFK who was put up on a pedestal and then all the info came out about womanising etc
People already suspect he's rude to women, minorities, the poor, etc and that he is a bit shifty as a business man. He's not politically correct, put it that way. But at least he is on your side.
It will be interesting to see what happens over the next 4 years.

Trump has never been on anyone's side other than his own. If he can find a way to con you out of a dollar.......you'll be missing two dollars. He's a crook.

Well, he's a con artist but hopefully he will be trying to look after US interests, he won't want anything to hurt his investments, either in US or Russia.

Presidents should NOT HAVE investments while they are President. The House Ethics Committee is charged with the task to make sure that any business dealings any governmental employee has is placed in a "Blind Trust" with someone else (not your son or daughter, but someone at an "Arms Length") directing business and no information given to the employee. This is meant to avoids conflicts of interest.......you know, like lifting sanctions against Russia for the invasion of the Crimea in exchange for a nice piece of property in downtown Moscow to build the next hotel on.
Little things like that.
