We've had the Bruno family, the Bonanno family, the Gambino family, the Genovese family, the Lucchese family, the Colombo family, the Patriarca family -- and now we have the Trump family. "Hey, whadda you lookin' at, you little teppista? You got nothin' on us!"

Butina -- a spy, political activist and unregistered Russian agent -- was charged by federal prosecutors with "infiltrating Republican organizations in order to advance Russian interests." In July, she pleaded not guilty to one count of conspiracy and a second count of acting as an agent of a foreign government. Well, she was guilty -- and we will soon know the details.

Acting on behalf of the Kremlin, Maria Butina and Alexander Torshin infiltrated the NRA to help ensure Donald Trump got elected President. Almost every day brings new developments in the Trump-Russia saga. This ongoing drama has more twists and turns than a Tami Hoag novel!

Donald Trump, who watches Fox News for several hours a day, told Reuters today that he didn't know until recently that any of his 16 associates had ties to Russia. Yeah, uh-huh, sure. And every one of these 16 has denied having ties to Russia. Yeah, uh-huh, sure.

Fraud, tax evasion, hush-money payments and lying to Congress about Trump's dealings with Russia -- and another Trump associate is headed to prison.

Rudy "Truth Isn't Truth" Giuliani initially said discussions for a proposed Trump Tower in Moscow ended in January 2016. Now he says talks were going on until November. And Donald "There Is No Collusion" Trump, at the same time he was campaigning for President and talking about ending sanctions against Russia, was negotiating to build a tower in Moscow and give Putin the penthouse suite free of charge. Lovely.

Today, in yet another series of tweets, the orange-skinned parrot once again squawked his usual mantras: "Total hoax!" "Witch hunt!" "Democrat scam!" -- and once again he ignores all the indictments, guilty pleas, plea bargains and prison sentences. If, as he claims, he is "innocent," then why is he constantly attacking Mueller's investigation? (Mueller is a Republican, by the way.)

Two new reports prepared for the Senate Intelligence Committee by independent researchers were released today. They reveal that Russia wanted Trump to defeat Clinton in 2016 -- no surprise there -- and Russia tried to turn black Democratic voters against Clinton by spreading false claims that she was resorting to fraud to win the election and militias were attempting to stop her.
Russia's use of US social media was also much more widespread than we thought. Russians created thousands of fake accounts and spread lies and propaganda on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Vine, Google+ and other sites. Is there any reason to think Russia won't be doing the same in 2020?

Once the Russian trolls succeeded in getting their man in the White House, they turned their attention to Robert Mueller, calling him "corrupt" and "incompetent" and saying he worked with radical Islamists. They denounced the idea of Russian election meddling as a "crackpot theory" and called for Mueller to be fired for his "fake investigation." The Russians were fearful that we would learn about all their fake accounts and their pro-Trump, anti-Clinton propaganda. We did learn -- and now we have a President who continually attacks Mueller and the Russia investigation. The Russians must be proud of their man in the White House.

The orange parrot keeps squawking that the Mueller investigation is "Fake news! Witch hunt! Fake news! Witch hunt! Awwwkkk!" Obviously, it is not.
Mueller grand jury extended for up to 6 months
CNN, Jan 4 2019 4:22 PM ET
Special counsel Robert Mueller's federal grand jury has been extended for up to six months. The grand jury, based in Washington, DC, was seated for an 18-month term that began in July 2017 and was set to expire in the coming days. Under federal rules, the court is able to extend a grand jury's term for another six months if it is "in the public interest." Chief Judge Beryl Howell of the DC District Court, who oversees the Mueller grand jury, granted the extension. She does not sit in on its sessions.
