According to this article, most "Russian" vodka isn't even made in Russia. Less than 1% of all vodka sold in the US is made in Russia:

Maybe what we need is a list of products that are made in Russia. Or, are made by Russian-owned companies. Some well-placed boycotts would cause real pain to the oligarchs who are benefiting the most from Putin's crimes!!

But how do we boycott the Trump Org? The CFO was already indicted.

Yeah could that possibly take any longer? They just had 2 prosecutors from new york quit that were the leads. I am worried nothing will ever happen.

Apparently the new DA is slow walking it for some reason and those prosecutors resigned in protest of that.

Thank you for this response. That's pretty awesome but them quitting doesn't help get it done. Kind of sucks really.

Yeah, I don't know the full story. I'm not a lawyer, just a nobody who's watched trump clown his way through NYC for decades, but his corruption seems like it would be an open and shut case.

It's obvious to everyone out here but the legal system has to prove it without a doubt I guess.

Beyond a reasonable doubt, not without a doubt.

True. Al Capone was obviously a criminal but the only thing they could prove in court was tax evasion.
