Trump calls it "an incredible offer"...


Uh oh!

President Donald Trump just bragged that Vladimir Putin has offered to send Russian government investigators to look into Russian government meddling in the 2016 US presidential election. 
Trump teased Putin’s “interesting idea” in his opening remarks during their joint press conference Monday morning: 
"During today’s meeting, I addressed directly with President Putin the issue of Russian interference in our elections. I felt this was a message best delivered in person. Spent a great deal of time talking about it. President Putin may very well want to address it and very strongly, because he feels strongly about it. He has an interesting idea."





Double triggers!!!

For those that don't know American slang.

Urban Dictionary: Lower the boom

We called It yesterday Tom....

He just said during Hannity interview he doesn’t think Mueller will take him (Putin) up on it...

Maybe Trump will get GOP Congressional investigators to work with the Russian authorities to do their own investigation....

Emergency meeting with Congress members now tomorrow morning:

Matt, a lot of these people are realizing now that they seriously underestimated DJT, and they are now in serious jeopardy.

The tell was when DJT decided to meet with Putin alone, excepting interpreters.

This sent a clear signal that DJT is on to them — all of them.

Hope springs eternal.

Not sure what he can do about it. The country is in a veritable frenzy of McCarthyism. He'd have to clean house from Intel to Pentagon to congress to lobbyists to oligarchs and more.

Not sure that a sane faction to side with even exists.

More like Trump doing an O.J., Tom. I mean how gullible does the Orange Bloat take you Americans to be?!

O.J. vows to find killers

O.J. Simpson went home a free man Tuesday, spared by an unpredictable jury to pick up a life of privilege instead of a life in prison. Acquitted of murdering his ex-wife and her friend, he pledged to track down the real killers who are "out there somewhere."

P.S. O.J. is still looking...

NSA did a surveillance audit in 2016 which identified 85% of surveillance queries by Executive branch going back into 2015 were illegal and Adm Rogers turned the system off when he found out and told Trump to get out of the Tower and go to his NJ golf course (golf course not covered by warrant Rosenstein signed):

They were using the US IC systems to spy on GOP and Trump campaign for years and they all did nothing about it...

Just have to get to top of food chain... should be a capital crime imo...

Trump just said this morning “Obama”...

It’s just a “high tech watergate” we’ve been here before...

Last time I checked DJT was winning bigly — all the noise aside.

What's not to like about winding down tensions with Russia and North Korea, and in Syria — unless you own "defense" stocks.

I am astounded how brainwashed the public is about current affairs. They don't have a clue about anything but what they read and hear in the lamestream media. Even the anti-war activists don't get it and are routing for nuclear war.

But those that read what I link to here should be up on the backstory.

“unless you own "defense" stocks.“

Trump still will spend a shitload on much needed tech refresh... not so much operations and diversity initiatives...

Matt Franko said...

Think DoD of the 80s...

Right. That's where the actual threat is from Russia and China. It is resources diverted to actual defense rather than potential offense (two fronts and assorted smaller fires).

It's about actual nation security rather than national security as a rationale for world domination, which is a chimera.

This is a very big deal.

Agreed, Tom -- except, you see, Trump is not serious and ... he's a moron:

While I had a great meeting with NATO, raising vast amounts of money, I had an even better meeting with Vladimir Putin of Russia. Sadly, it is not being reported that way - the Fake News is going Crazy!

Says the crazy man in orange skin.

P.S. At first I totally doubted there was ever a "pee tape" or some other compromising evidence against Trump by the Russians. But since learning that Trump has no inhibitions having unprotected(!!!) sex with porn stars, well, now... ;)
