"SNIP.....

“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,” the Washington Post reports.

“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.”

“There is no detailed record, even in classified files, of Trump’s face-to-face interactions with the Russian leader 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.”

5. incredibly stupid

How long did he think he could keep this hidden?

[leftieNanner]

9. Yes, he is stupid

But he has gotten away with this crap for all 72 years of his disgusting life.

Zero consequences for any misbehavior - hence the tantrum with Speaker Pelosi and Senator Schumer.

10. We have heard much of this information before.

But nobody subpoenaed the records from the interpreter. I had not heard about them taking possession of the notes from the interpreter? Or instructing the linguist not to discuss what had transpired with other administration officials?

Wouldn't you be curious if you were the FBI??

14. Repugs in Senate will have zero problem with this.

I'd expect them to call for more hearings on HRC's server before any of them would mutter a word about the treasonous acts of the Orange Menace.

I have to question the intel.

Rachel would be all over this.
