Russian Grip on Trump Must be Exposed: Nancy Pelosi
Since there is no strong opposition, Trump will complete his first term as President and in all probability he will win again in 2020 to rule America for eight years.

As the controversy surrounding President’s Donald Trump’s illegitimate ties with Russia is gradually dying down, Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi still wants to keep the issue alive.
“The Russians’ grip on the Trump Administration must be exposed for the American people to see for themselves. The American people have a right to know how President Trump’s vast conflicts of interest and hidden connections to Russia are steering his agenda,” Pelosi said in a statement issued today.
Pelosi’s demand for inquiry is triggered by the fact that Republicans have voted down a resolution of inquiry on Trump-Russia ties and his conflicts of interest.

“Republicans are abandoning their responsibility to the American people in order to stonewall on behalf of President Trump,” Pelosi said. “If there’s nothing to hide, why are Republicans working so hard to keep the truth from the public?”
She added that American people deserve the truth about Russia’s personal, political, and financial hold on President Trump. Democrats will not let the Trump Administration or the Republican Congress off the hook, Pelosi warned.
Earlier, Senator Elizabeth Warren said that people must know about Trump’s connivance with Michael Flynn and other contacts that happened with Russia before or after the November election.
She urged the Congress to hold a bipartisan, transparent inquiry into Russia’s control over Trump and his administration, insisting that the national security is at stake.

But will the proper inquiry be held? No way. Trump has already tamed wild politicians on both the sides. A few voices that are still going loud against Trump will get silenced in the confusion that Trump is creating by saying all that is appearing in the media is false. Obviously, the people of America will never know the truth about Trump’s tryst with Russia.
Since there is no strong opposition, Trump will complete his first term as President and in all probability he will win again in 2020 to rule America for eight years.
