If Putin claims that the Russian government was not involved in the hacking and theft

of the e-mails of the DNC, etc., then Trump should demand and receive extradition for a trial based on due process of those in Russia who are alleged to have done the hacking and theft as alleged in the grand jury's indictment.

If Putin and the Russian government were not involved, yet there is evidence suggesting that certain Russians were involved, why wouldn't Putin allow the extradition for a fair trial of those Russians?


If Putin does not extradite the suspects, then it suggests that Putin or the official Russian government are either protecting criminals or are involved in the hacking and theft of the e-mails themselves.

Do you think I am right?

Trump should challenge Putin: Either extradite or admit responsibility for the hacking and theft.

If Trump does not do that, then what did he know and when did he know it?

Because it will appear that Trump is covering up for Putin.

Russia will never extradite Russian citizens into US.
That sure, I have no idea why you would expect Trump to demand anything of Putin.
Aren't they best buds?
