“… all new pipelines, as well as retrofitted, repaired, or expanded pipelines, inside the borders of the United States, including portions of pipelines, use materials and equipment produced in the United States, to the maximum extent possible and to the extent permitted by law” ” (Trump Memo’s loopholes benefit Evraz, a Russian company with ties to Putin and apparently to Trump’s daughter Ivanka.)

As discussed yesterday, and previously, the Keystone and Dakota Access Pipelines will be using pipe from Evraz – partially controlled by Putin friend-kingmaker, Roman Abramovich, along with other Russian oligarchs, including others close to Putin. Plus daughter Ivanka is apparently friends with Abramovich’s wife – they are the same age. Pipes are also Made in India. We don’t know yet about the Bayou Bridge pipeline: https://miningawareness.wordpress.com/2017/03/05/whitehouse-now-says-keystone-xl-builders-can-use-steel-made-by-russian-company-and-made-in-india/ Remember that impeachment simply means putting Trump on trial for high crimes and misdemeaners. If he were innocent he would have nothing to fear, but wasted time, which he’s doing and causing anyway. Trump proved his real intent with his majority scum-bag appointees. He had his chance.
The Construction of American Pipelines Memo is nothing but a misleading piece clearly meant for photo-op purposes to pull the wool over the eyes of the sheep, and amply illustrating the Trump Administration’s “Art of the Con”. Trump’s real motto: “Make Russia Great Again”; “Make India Great” and “Make America into a Polluted Third World Country”.
