As read..."...Americans elected Trump,..." As readers of this blog know, this is simply not true. (See elsewhere.) However, Ms. Gessen is right that there are dangers in focusing on any Trump-Russian collusion. At the same time, we must be clear: Americans did not "elect" Trump in any way.

They have decided that eventhough there are Laws protecting US Citizens against illegal seizures they are going to break every other Law to harm, hurt, impoverish our family. They claim for 1998 we made $400,000 and owe $82,000 in taxes and have not produced the tax year nor want to help in resolving this tax year. They claim the Right of the ten(10) year Statute of limitations is what they deem it to be, so 13years8months,9days after they are now proceeding with seizing our real esstate property. They have violated every US Constitutional Right, Taxpayer Right, Civil Right and refuse to honor our payment arrangement and being unemployed without any unemployment checks say we continue to owe big State and Federal Government. Even with the Attorney's we have hired they have charged us but done nothing. It reminds me of John Adams decree, "usurpian government" [a governement seizing without right]in which Laws are the civil manner to resolve disputes but are ignore for "their" benefit. But the ones in control do not want us to be represented and we have found no Constitutional Attorneys to take our case.
