President Trump chooses not to pursue the sanctions against Russia demanded by Congress… We are officially in crisis…

By Mark | January 30, 2018

Back in July, in the words of Senator Nancy Pelosi, “Congress passed a bill on an overwhelmingly bipartisan basis requiring the Administration to impose defense and intelligence sanctions on entities purchasing Russian military equipment.” This legislation, we were told at the time, was necessary, among other things, to both punish the Russians for having meddled […]
