Asha Rangappa on Russia Probe: Why the Constant Lies and Lack of Transparency?

EXCERPT:

RANGAPPA: "Yes. I mean, I think that this was an implication that was hiding in the shadows when Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress. You know, we knew then that Mueller had the information to back this up and now, you know, I don’t think it’s really that much of a surprise, though it is shocking to see it in writing. I think it’s important to understand why the underlying lie is important. This is about Donald Trump not being transparent about a financial interest he had with a hostile foreign adversary as he’s a candidate and also promoting a positive foreign policy. You know, what’s interesting is that even after this deal ostensibly ended, he still wanted to conceal that relationship. And so this idea that, well, it’s not illegal for a private businessman to have, you know, business dealings in Russia, why the constant lies and lack of transparency?"
