In any case, your post seems a non-sequitur to me, Mr. Logic.
I provided a politically unbiased answer to the question, PC isn't a formal logic forum and my post isn't an argument.

FYI, "logic is a little tweeting bird ..."

Western capitalists and governments have been complicit in bleeding Russia since the break up of the USSR.

Notably UK--It had an open welcome for Oligarchs laden with goodies from Russia.

Are you sure your circuits are registering correctly?

It's the Oligarchs who committed the blood letting. Like the guy who owns the Brooklyn Nets. Capitalists and their governments were just doing what comes naturally.

Sessions is in on this too, no other reason for him to talk twice (or more) to Russia's very very crooked ambassador to the USA.

President Trump has asked his advisers about his power to pardon aides, family members and even himself in connection with the Russia probe, according to a person familiar with the effort. (Bill O’Leary/The Washington Post)
By Carol D. Leonnig, Ashley Parker, Rosalind S. Helderman and Tom Hamburger July 20 at 9:58 PM

Some of President Trump’s lawyers are exploring ways to limit or undercut special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s Russia investigation, building a case against what they allege are his conflicts of interest and discussing the president’s authority to grant pardons, according to people familiar with the effort.

Trump has asked his advisers about his power to pardon aides, family members and even himself in connection with the probe, according to one of those people. A second person said Trump’s lawyers have been discussing the president’s pardoning powers among themselves.

Trump’s legal team declined to comment on the issue. But one adviser said the president has simply expressed a curiosity in understanding the reach of his pardoning authority, as well as the limits of Mueller’s investigation.

“This is not in the context of, ‘I can’t wait to pardon myself,’ ” a close adviser said.

That would really chap my ass if he has the power to pardon his criminal family.

That would be the defining "American has become North Korea" moment.
