On Tuesday, McFaul met with Fiona Hill, the NSC’s director for Russia, at the White House. The West Wing has yet to release a readout of the meeting, and McFaul declined to describe what was discussed at the meeting on MSNBC.

On Wednesday, McFaul criticized the Trump administration for not denouncing Putin’s proposal to interview American officials, saying it is a national security issue.

“Why is it so hard for this administration just to say on the record this is absurd, you cannot arrest our government officials for doing their jobs,” McFaul said. “Because if they don’t say that, it sends a very dangerous message that our diplomats, that our military service officers, that our intelligence officers working abroad can somehow be, you know, indicted and prosecuted for crazy crimes that, of course, we didn’t do.”

“So it’s in the national interest for them to do this. It’s not just about me,” he added.

3. Anything short of a full support of McFaul and full protection by the United States Government

must be viewed as an accommodation to an enemy state.

4. He seems to be getting heavily trolled in Russian on Twitter.

He’s replied to a couple that I can’t read and it sounded from his replies like they were threatening him. Truly creepy.

5. Why stop there.

Why don't the Russians go after the bosses John Kerry and Hillary Clinton?

Maybe that is what Trump is waiting for.
