There was also talk about President Donald Trump knowing about Russia's involvement. Robert Mueller, the director of the FBI, is the one leading the investigation. I chose this topic because not only is it very intense, but it's something that will continue. Each time a new story comes out, there is a new plot twist. I gained an interest in this topic when we discussed it in class. I really enjoy following each new story that pops up about the Russian Probe. I am very excited to report on this topic. I am hoping to learn about how the criminal justice system functions and how the government will deal with this if the allegations against Trump are true. ]]> 2018-02-07 20:24:08 UTC https://padlet.com/28716/x2nms0e36m3f/wish/229317539 28716 https://padlet.com/28716/x2nms0e36m3f/wish/229324507 I found this cartoon on google image search and it came from US News. The illustrator is Chris Britt. The title of the article is, Cartoons on President Trump and Russia. ]]> 2018-02-07 20:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/28716/x2nms0e36m3f/wish/229324507 28716 https://padlet.com/28716/x2nms0e36m3f/wish/229719259 The source is trying to convey the idea of the Russian meddling to be true. In it, I learned that people are also blaming Kushner as to being a part of the Russian meddling. Before I did not know who Jared Kushner was or what his significance is to the investigation. When I was analyzing the cartoon, I missed a big detail: the name tag with KUSHNER on it.I came to know that Jared Kushner is the senior advisor to Donald Trump. He too might have been conversing with the Russians. Jared Kushner relates to this topic because he is one of the big names in the whole investigation. He is believed to have been involved. Kushner is also Ivanka Trump's (Donald Trump's daughter) husband. My next step is to investigate more on other people who are invloved. People like Michael Flynn, Stephan Bannon, Robert Muller, James Comey, etc. I also hope to better connect them to this topic.]]> 2018-02-08 17:53:09 UTC https://padlet.com/28716/x2nms0e36m3f/wish/229719259 28716 https://padlet.com/28716/x2nms0e36m3f/wish/232417350 This cartoon obviously has some bias in it, but I still find it rather interesting. It's basically saying that Donald Trump is a liar. The way his lips are tight suggests that he is trying to say it quietly to the Russian soldier, Jared Kushner. Jared Kushner is the senior advisor to Trump. It seems to me that this cartoon is trying to show that Trump and Kushner are in cahoots with the Russians. The Russian flag shows that this cartoon is about the Russian probe. Also, there is a post behind him that says, "things to do today: 1. LIE about everything." Which shows that the illustrator believes that Trump is lying. ]]> 2018-02-16 16:57:29 UTC https://padlet.com/28716/x2nms0e36m3f/wish/232417350
