Trump appears to be backchanneling with Putin already.

[Tommy Carcetti]

The deal looks like Putin will release WSJ reporter Evan Gerskovich after the election if Trump wins.

And in exchange I would venture to guess a major policy change on Ukraine and NATO.

Unbelievable.

1. Yep

4. Paying nothing?...

If you call handing America to Putin nothing

[lastlib]

9. Yep, nothing....

Donny has probably paid up front already with the national security documents he has given Vladdy. Plus the promise to give him Ukraine, Poland, Finland, and anything else he wants.

NO DEAL, DIAPERS!

5. Wouldn't this be a legitimate violation of the Logan Act?

Or does that not matter anymore?

10. This is a good reason to not vote for TSF.

11. Trump did say he would end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. He will do that by 100% backing Putin,

withdrawing all aid to Ukraine, and threatening to pull US out of UN and Nato if others don't follow, all while claiming he is a peace dealmaker.

12. I have assumed that he's been talking to Putin on the phone probably at least weekly

He never stopped. He probably uses a burner phone or borrows some poor chump’s phone, so he can’t be listening to by the CIA. But he’s got a way of doing it I bet money on it. In his mind he is president for life now

13. The nsa isnt listening to chumps calls.....

But they do listen to international calls, especially to ruzzia. If a us citizen is on those calls, they get heard. But chump is not targeted.

But he is likely using an encrypted app provided by the fsb, which would be very hard if not impossible to tap into.

So I doubt the nsa knows what they are talking about.

It would take a court order on this end to wiretap his phone or residence, and no judge is going to easily grant that in florida.

15. Yes remember, first thing Jared Kushner wanted to do in 2017, was set up a back channel with Russia
