British ex-spy claims Kremlin blocked Trump from naming Mitt Romney as secretary of state: report

The plot thickens and getting more and more complex day by day, and here is the Dotard setting up a reelection bid; well raising money anyway.
Quote:
Former MI6 spy Christopher Steele has reportedly told special counsel Robert Mueller that he believes the Russian government directly intervened to block President Donald Trump from appointing Mitt Romney as his secretary of state.

In a New Yorker profile of Steele published Monday, reporter Jane Mayer writes that Steele — who authored the infamous Fusion GPS dossier alleging deep ties between President Donald Trump and the Russian government — wrote a memo in late 2016 claiming that Russia worked to stop then-President elect Trump from making noted Russia hawk Romney his chief diplomat.

The cited New Yorker article is a worthy read. It's well-research and comprehensive.

Former Trump aide Sam Nunberg said Monday that he has been subpoenaed to appear in front of a federal grand jury investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election but that he will refuse to go...

Nunberg said he does not plan to comply with the subpoena, including either testimony or providing documents.“Let him arrest me,” Nunberg said. “Mr. Mueller should understand I am not going in on Friday.” Nunberg said he was planning to go on Bloomberg TV and tear up the subpoena.

So much for being the party of law and order. The Republicans have lost their minds and their souls.

edit - That Nunberg character is a real piece of work - http://www.businessinsider.com/trump...k-posts-2015-7

Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III has gathered evidence that a secret meeting in the Seychelles just before the inauguration of Donald Trump was an effort to establish a back channel between the incoming administration and the Kremlin — apparently contradicting statements made to lawmakers by one of its participants, according to people familiar with the matter.
