President Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal details of his conversations with Russian President Vladi­mir Putin, including on at least one occasion taking possession of the notes of his own interpreter and instructing the linguist not to discuss what had transpired with other administration officials, current and former U.S. officials said.

Trump did so after a meeting with Putin in 2017 in Hamburg that was also attended by then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. U.S. officials learned of Trump’s actions when a White House adviser and a senior State Department official sought information from the interpreter beyond a readout shared by Tillerson.

The constraints that Trump imposed are part of a broader pattern by the president of shielding his communications with Putin from public scrutiny and preventing even high-ranking officials in his own administration from fully knowing what he has told one of the United States’ main adversaries.

As a result, U.S. officials said there is no detailed record, even in classified files, of Trump’s face-to-face interactions with the Russian leader at five locations over the past two years. Such a gap would be unusual in any presidency, let alone one that Russia sought to install through what U.S. intelligence agencies have described as an unprecedented campaign of election interference.

When those appear about to happen, then POTUS will likely go bomb the fuck out of France or somewhere like that and take the domestic shit off the table. The monkeys will scream and wring their hands, throw their own shit and have something new to obsess about.

You should hook up with Screwey, split a box of wine and cry in each others arms.

Screwey: "It's over, man...it's really over..."
Rooster: "C'mon Screwey...don't talk like that. There'll be other wars. Muzzie bloodbaths for me, humanitarian interventions for you...same diff..."
Screwey: "I just want my 'deep state', business-as-usual, shadow government..."
Rooster: "I'll get you a war if I have to fly over there and start one myself, lil' buddy"
Screwey: "Oh, Roo...you'd do that for me?" ~sniff~...
Rooster: "You betcha!" ~musses Screwey's hair and gives him a friendly shoulder punch~

If they don't go after people who destroy phones, servers, emails, etc, why would they bother to pursue Trump?

As with all the other older allegations and accusations, these latest ones, such as those thrown by Screwy, are being proven to be false. Yet with the Left, hope springs eternal.

The gist of it is that Trump wasn't engaging in some kind of subterfuge as is the immediate thought of the Screwys of the world, but there was a legitimate reason for what he did. But, no, I don't expect you, nor any of the other TDS sufferers to acknowledge that.

Please, continue on with your tantrum in the checkout line, child. Momma Mueller isn't going to hand you any Trump candy no matter how much squalling you engage in.

Ok, I stand corrected. The exact quote is above.

Moving the goalposts for what's about to come out.

Jsc810 wrote:Did anyone else see Rudy G on CNN tonight? Holy shit.

He admitted collusion. Oh but Trump himself wasn't involved, just the campaign staff.

Let that sink in. The campaign of the Republican nominee for President of the United States worked with a foreign enemy to affect the outcome of the election.

This from the President's attorney.

Holy shit.

This is at least the 10th time the denials have been watered down. It might be the most significant rollback.
