We’ll learn soon enough about the depth and extent of the economic and
political ties that link Donald Trump’s campaign and administration to
the murderous gangster government of Vladimir Putin.
But even as the investigations proceed, the American public should
demand a full accounting of what Trump officials personally know about —
and are prepared to do about — the widespread theft, bloodshed and
human rights abuses emanating from the Kremlin.
This weekend, thousands took to the streets in more than 100 Russian

news service Tass — demanding an end to years of organized looting by
the Putin regime. Vast tracts of the economy have been turned over to
favored cronies, many of whom are now billionaires.
The response to the demonstrations by Putin’s security services was

Navalny, a political activist who’s been jailed by Putin before,
including in 2013 on the day after he registered to run for mayor of
Moscow.
