Richard Engel back from Russia: Kremlin edict now "Don't Talk About Trump"

report on MSNBC.

Engel says there were lots of parties and pro-Trump media at first. Now, very few stories about DJT.

I think Russians are nervous all this info is being outed about their corruption, money laundering and oil deals.

That bodes ill for him, I'm certain, if it is the case. I advise that he listen closely to his Secret Service protectors.

The way I read it, Uncle Vlad has figured out that anything he says now makes it worse for Trump. So they're keeping quiet and laying low. He thinks this is all going to blow over, but his boy is going down. We're very close to getting the kill shot now.

Richard Engel is a great reporter and one of the very few American reporters who speaks and understands Arabic. His stories are always good.

I love that name. Think I'll name my next pet Kislyak. anyway, donald better do something about those sanctions. These guys don't play around. Not sure how long Putin will wait. The sanctions are really hurting him.

I mean:




That's an easy out.


Not to toot my own horn too much, but did you happen to catch the Flynn-Kislyak phone call transcript that was released?
