The foundation for impeachment was Russia: Russia meddling in our election, Russia allegedly colluding with the Trump campaign to subvert our democracy, Russia using social media to create division, Russia stealing Hillary Clinton’s emails, Russia leaking sensitive information to WikiLeaks, and so on.
Even Special Counsel Robert Mueller, in his farewell press conference Wednesday [May 29, 2019], spoke of the serious threat from Russia.
But amidst all this talk Russia’s nefarious influence, there is real Russian collusion happening right now, and it’s in full view of the American people and deliberately orchestrated by the very Democrats who are demanding impeachment because of Russia. ...”
It all has to do with the environmentalist movement.
The liberal bastion of the Northeast is importing natural gas from Russia.
New York state is turning to our adversary to meet demand.
Boston Harbor regularly sees tankers from Russia.
Why?
This seems contradictory. Natural gas production in the United States has reached record highs.
In a recent visit to a new $10 billion liquid natural gas export (LNG) terminal, President Trump touted the facility’s importance in dominating the world energy markets. ...”
Since 2014 Cuomo has banned hydraulic fracking in the state, parroting environmental activist talking points that it would cause “adverse health outcomes.” ...”
In January he announced New York’s very own “Green New Deal,” with the goal of eliminating the state’s carbon footprint.
Under Cuomo, New York has unilaterally halted interstate pipeline construction, undermining the ability of other states in the region from accessing natural gas.
The result of these eco-policies has predictably been unnecessary shortages. Now, some customers in the state are facing moratoriums on natural gas hookups.
With local natural gas production restricted by his nonsensical fracking ban, and pipeline bans preventing natural gas from being brought into the state, liberal New York has turned to Russia.
“We should be producing energy at home, not enriching foreign adversaries abroad,” Trump said at the LNG facility in Louisiana. Cuomo either hasn’t heard or doesn’t believe, that message. And that is dangerous and wrong.
The foreign policy left should be outraged that American taxpayers are enriching our adversary by purchasing Russian LNG.
[Yet,] they remain silent. ..."

And often plays the MSM like a fiddle. I was surprised to see the Politico article.
After another look, although it very strongly and truthfully goes after the Obama-Biden-Hillary admin for the many things they did to help Russia in their goal to regain superpower status, it very wrongly blasts Trump for having soft views on Putin and Russia.
Although I myself was concerned about him even past the midway point in the campaign with some of the praise he was heaping on Putin, I then came to realize and understand, particularly after listening to his VP pick Mike Pence at the VP debate, that nothing could be further from the truth. And at this point it’s a total no-brainer that team Trump is very much on to Putin and has darn near completely undone the many dangerous pro-Russia things the OBH admin did.
But again, the author does get into a LOT of detail on what the Dems did in those 8 years of the Obama administration to help out Putin.
