Everybody with a functioning brain knows that Trump is inextricably financially entwined with Putin and his corrupt oligarch buddies. Wilbur Ross, through his connections with the bank of Cyprus, is the glue that binds them together. It's my firm belief that it's this connection that will eventually force Trump to resign. Eventually, the complex maze of shell corporations that has been crafted by Trump's lawyers to hide his financial ties to the Russians will be pierced; it's only a matter of time. Too many people are investigating Trump's corrupt ties to the Russians for his secrets to not begin falling like dominoes.
If you've got 20 minutes to spare, and want to learn more about the complex evolution of the relationship between the Russian oligarchs and Trump, please watch this excellent segment of the Rachel Maddow show from a couple of days ago. And if you have some more time to kill after that, please read "Trump, Putin, and the New Cold War" from the latest issue of The New Yorker. It'll be time well spent.
