  May 3, 202614 minS0

  <p>Nobody is coming to formally confirm what most of us already know.</p><p>Today on the Daily Grift - we walk every receipt Donald Trump has paid Russia since the morning he first took the oath of office.

  Apr 27, 202611 minS0

  <p>Vladimir Putin has a rabbi. Jared Kushner’s family pays the rabbi’s organization. The FBI has known about it for six years.</p><p>Today on the Daily Grift - I walk through a religious institution Putin built in 1999 with oligarch money, the $295M Manhattan real estate deal that connected it to Trump’s son-in-law, and the FBI memo that named Kushner as a Russian-money-laundering conduit.

  Apr 20, 202612 minS1

  <p>Before we go any further with my Russian Receipts essay series, we need to talk about the elephant in the room.</p><p>I still see commenters saying the whole Trump-Russia connection was a hoax. That it was overblown. That Mueller cleared everyone.</p><p>That’s absolutely, positively not true.</p><p>I took the weekend to put this episode together so we could clear that up before I go any further. Today’s episode explains what the Mueller report actually said, in its own words, and why calling it a hoax was a frame job run by Trum...
