National emergency, part 2

So is the “wall made of giant steel slats” an actual deal with the Devil? Well, I guess this is a case where the devil is in the details.

If Evraz, the company largely owned by Russian oligarch and Trump family friend Roman Abramovich (and possibly the only steel company with the capacity to build such a wall), gets the contract, then there is a smoking gun. But even that wouldn’t mean anybody is guilty of collusion, only that they might be.

Still, it would be quite a thing if the massive wall ends up actually getting built and Evraz ends up supplying the steel. That would end up raising all sorts of questions about exactly what favors are owed by our President.

But there’s no point in getting ahead of ourselves. The chain of connections here could be completely innocent.

Yes, the proposed wall is a slightly loony boondoggle, since there are far more effective ways to ensure border security, with a considerably smaller price tag. Still, our dear President could be guilty of nothing more than desperately trying to keep a badly thought out election campaign promise he made to his base back in 2016.

I guess we will see. In any case, this has all been one helluva thin excuse for a national emergency.

  1. I propose a virtual wall in AR. Looks just like the real thing. Much less expensive and just as effective.
