Kremlin says it hopes U.S. won't release details of Putin-Trump calls
1 hr ago


The Kremlin said on Friday that it hoped that Washington would not release confidential details of phone calls between President Vladimir Putin and his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the comment when asked about the White House's release of a reconstruction of Trump's July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that has set off a U.S. domestic political storm.

Peskov said it was not normal diplomatic practice to release confidential details of such calls and that he hoped the bad state of ties with Washington would not lead to a similar situation arising in Russia's case.

2. "Don't look behind that door!"

Well, now we just have to look

6. That was my thought too and they KNOW darn well we will...

I tend to think Putin WANTS those released.

He doesn't care even a tiny bit about Trump or the US. Taking down the US's standing in the world is Putin's wet dream and I doubt he cares what comes out that he has said because while Putin may be many things I find absolutely deplorable, he's also savvy, smart and not a fool. He knows very well that he's always going to be recorded and that those recordings could come out. He knows how to bide his time, hold his tongue and word things so he looks good.

3. Don't throw me into that briar patch?

I do believe once Putin feels he's gotten everything he possibly can from Donald Trump, he won't particularly care what happens to him.

At the exact moment Putin thinks it will be the most chaotic for tRump....

8. These are not the droids you're looking for

move along

[gratuitous]

9. Gee, isn't that comforting?

What's in those calls? Is it damaging to Trump? Do the Russians have their own, separate recording? Would Trump be eager to have those calls released to the public? If not, how does he keep the Russians from releasing the recordings? Isn't it nice to think of our good friends the Russians having that kind of a hold on the president? Shouldn't concern anyone except the most paranoid national security buffs, right? Nothing to see here.

14. Can't blame him. Why should the world know the details of the Trump Tower Moscow financing?
