A win for Trump-- the corrupt Ukrainian oligarch with ties to Paul Manafort, the man who won the election for Trump, will be tried by his best friends in the USA, not in Austria. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/austria-approves-extradition-of-ukrainian-oligarch-tied-to-trump-campaign-aides/2017/02/21/13c71542-f83d-11e6-aa1e-5f735ee31334_story.html Because some of you haven't been following, said oligarch was heavily involved with Ukrainian politics under the former pro-Putin president of the Ukraine, who gave $12.7 million to Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign manager in exchange for 'winning' the election... before being forced out of power and into exile in Russia. This oligarch once met with Manafort in an attempt to buy real estate in New York, part of a money laundering attempt... but the deal never went through. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/19/us/politics/donald-trump-ukraine-russia.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=1 I wonder how Trump himself is tied into all of this. I know he has a habit of selling US real estate to Russian criminals looking to launder their money... it's too bad the Austrains didn't hold onto this guy and find out what he knows. Anyways, lucky Trump, it looks like one of the loose ends is about to be neatly tied up for him, and impeachment will have to wait a little while longer.
