After four long years of the former U.S. guy being a lapdog to Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Kremlin's bill is finally coming due for its years-long cyber espionage campaign against the U.S.
The Biden administration said Thursday it was imposing a new round of sanctions to constrict the Russian economy along with sanctioning six Russian companies that aid Russian Intelligence services, according to The Washington Post. In addition, the administration is expelling 10 intelligence officers posing as diplomats in the U.S.

Access, Influence and Pardons: How A Set Of Allies Shaped Trump’s Choices
https://www.moorenews.net/articles/4/5/7080/Access-Influence-and-Pardo
ns-How-A-Set-Of-Allies-Shaped-Trump-s-Choices.html
A loose collection of well-connected groups and individuals led by a pair of Orthodox Jewish organizations had striking success in winning clemency for white-collar criminals during the Trump presidency.
One hacked the computers of business rivals. One bribed doctors to win referrals for his nursing homes.
Another fled the country while he was on trial for his role in a fraud that siphoned $450 million from an insurance company, leading to its collapse. Still, another ran a Ponzi scheme that plunged a synagogue into foreclosure.
Each won clemency from President Donald J. Trump.
They also had something else in common, an investigation by The New York Times found. The efforts to seek clemency for these wealthy or well-connected people benefited from their social, political, or financial ties to a loose collection of lawyers, lobbyists, activists, and Orthodox Jewish leaders who had worked with Trump administration officials on criminal justice legislation championed by Jared Kushner.
That network revolved around a pair of influential Jewish organizations that focus on criminal justice issues — the Aleph Institute and Tzedek Association — and well-wired people working with them, including the lawyer Alan M. Dershowitz, Brett Tolman, a former U.S. attorney for Utah, and Nick Muzin, a Republican operative.
The combination of access, influence, and substantive expertise they brought to bear produced striking results.
Of the 238 total pardons and commutations granted by Mr. Trump during his term, 27 went to people supported by Aleph, Tzedek, and the lawyers and lobbyists who worked with them. At least six of those 27 went to people who had been denied clemency through the official Justice Department process during the Obama administration.
Over the years, at least four of those who received clemency or their families had donated to Aleph. Others or their allies and families had retained people like Mr. Dershowitz, who represented Mr. Trump in his first impeachment trial, Mr. Tolman, and Mr. Muzin to press their cases before the Trump administration, often working in parallel with Aleph and Tzedek, according to public records and interviews.

Trump will be fine.

Imagine the hypocrisy of a government who will allow businesses to card people to get a job or buy groceries, but won't card people to vote in elections and gives millions of non-citizens free money from taxpayers.

Roger Stone Got A Pardon From Trump, But Now The Feds Are Suing Him For $2 Million In Unpaid Taxes
Donald Trump pardoned his longtime ally Roger Stone in the final weeks of his presidency, wiping away the Republican political operative's convictions for lying to Congress, obstructing investigators, and tampering with witnesses during the Russia investigation.
But that wasn’t the end of Stone’s legal troubles. On Friday, federal tax prosecutors filed a civil lawsuit against him in Florida claiming nearly $2 million in unpaid taxes. The government is alleging that Stone and his wife, Nydia Stone, owe more than $1.5 million in federal income taxes from 2007 to 2011 — an amount that includes hundreds of thousands of dollars in late penalties and interest — plus an additional $400,000 in unpaid income taxes and penalties from 2018 alone.
Prosecutors are also accusing the Stones of placing more than $1 million into a corporate entity that their family controlled, Drake Ventures LLC, in 2018 and 2019 in order to keep it out of the hands of the IRS. The complaint alleges that the Stones used money from Drake Ventures to pay for personal expenses — “groceries, dentist bills, spas, salons, clothing and restaurant expenses,” according to the government — as well as make a down payment on a home, resolve some of their tax debt, and pay wages to relatives and other individuals without filing the required paperwork.
“Although they used funds held in Drake Ventures accounts to pay some of their taxes, the Stones’ use of Drake Ventures to hold their funds allowed them to shield their personal income from enforced collection and fund a lavish lifestyle despite owing nearly $2 million in unpaid taxes, interest and penalties,” prosecutors wrote.
If the phrase “lavish lifestyle” sounds familiar, it’s because prosecutors from former special counsel Robert Mueller’s team used the same language when they charged former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort with hiding millions of dollars in income in overseas bank accounts to avoid paying taxes and to finance an array of luxury purchases. Manafort was found guilty of tax and bank fraud but, like Stone, received a pardon from Trump in December 2020.
The Stones made some efforts at resolving their tax debts, the government said. According to the latest complaint, they entered into an agreement with the IRS in May 2017 and began paying monthly installments of $19,485. But after Stone was charged by Mueller’s team in January 2019, the government said he and his wife arranged to purchase a condominium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in the name of a new trust they’d set up, the Bertran Family Revocable Trust, and used money from Drake Ventures.
Prosecutors alleged the condo purchase was “marked by numerous badges of fraud,” noting that the Stones owed so much money to the US government at that point that they were “insolvent.”
In March 2019, the Stones failed to make their monthly $19,485 payment to the IRS. That dissolved the installment agreement and opened them up to potential legal action.

An example of obviousness: Roger Self, a prominent businessman from Gaston County, North Carolina, drove his car into the Surf & Turf Lodge in Bessemer City in May of 2018, killing his daughter, Katelyn Self, and daughter-in-law, Amanda Self. Three years later he was finally sentenced to a minimum of 40 years in prison for their murders.
Trump didn't do anything this obviously criminal and, if he did, he won't go to trial and be sentenced for many years. But who knows? Maybe Trump kills somebody. Donald Trump claimed he could "stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody" and not "lose any voters." That was rated TRUE. He said it and he won't lose any voters, including 6ix.
