Most Earthlings who [1] follow world events and [2] aren’t susceptible to Murican right-wing propaganda networks understand that the current Executive Office of the President of the United States is hopelessly entangled with Mr Trump’s past, present, and future (if he has a future) business interests. Equally obvious is Mr Trump’s curious allegiance to Mr Putin; how could anyone not be suspicious given the former’s history of shady relations with certain Russians since the collapse of the USSR? The latest daily lies from the Trump administration have now backfired on Rudy Giuliani, who claimed a Trump Tower Moscow letter of intent (LOI) hadn’t been signed. Check the image below and decide for yourself if that’s true.
Rudy didn’t take it too well when exposed as a liar (to be fair, it’s not clear he knew he was lying), so lashed out by decrying the document as “bullshit”. As much fun as it is to watch a putrid ghoul such as Giuliani implode time and again, the right-wing narrative of this LOI being “bullshit” is still ongoing and needs to be beat down. We know by now that when BLOTUS and his fellow crooks attribute a quality to something, the opposite is usually true about that something. According to attorney Elura Nanos, this LOI is not at all meaningless:
Regardless of whether the letter of intent is an actual contract for real estate licensing, its existence is proof positive that in October 2015, Donald Trump intended to pursue a real estate deal in Moscow. The fact that it was sent by Donald Trump himself, and signed by both Trump and Rozov is proof that Giuliani’s public declarations are, well, bullshit.

Reading the comment section of the news, we came across these noteworthy responses to Giuliani’s battlecry of “bullshit” by two different authors:
Trump and Giuliani both miss the point. It doesn’t matter if he ultimately signed a binding contract. He was negotiating with people in Russia to do a real estate deal there while he was campaigning to be President of the United States of America. The mere fact he was running for office creates the opportunity for foreign influence and for him to benefit personally from his campaign. If it was no big deal and as meaningless as they would have us believe, then there would be no need for campaign finance laws. Those laws exist for a reason. INFLUENCE. So, whether a bringing contract was signed or not doesn’t matter. Collusion. Mueller’s got him in the crosshairs. Now it’s just a matter of taking him out.
As a lawyer and real estate developer, I understand the notion that a letter of intent “means nothing,” but by the same token a contract with refundable earnest money like those that are often used in real estate transactions “mean nothing” in the same vein. However, one doesn’t sign contracts or LOIs without having a serious intent to accomplish the goals expressed in the contract or LOI. The letter of intent made clear that Donald Trump was extremely interested in making millions off a licensing deal with Russia, and then he told the American people during the campaign that he had nothing to do with Russia.
The point should not be obscured that Russia held out the prospect of making Trump a bunch of money while he was on the campaign trail altering the Republican platform on Ukraine and speaking favorably of Russia. Whether Trump would ultimately win or not, America should be offended that he used the position of major party nominee to promote Russian interests while seeking to make millions. That is a betrayal of trust of the people and the Republican Party that entrusted him with the nomination. It’s deceitful, dishonest conduct beneath the dignity of someone seeking— much less holding—the presidency.
