This cant be the first time Donald Trump gave classified intel to Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak
Follow the dots: Donald Trump and Sergey Kislyak first officially met backstage at a campaign speech in April 2016 (link). Trump was not yet the Republican nominee and he was therefore not yet being classified intel briefings. But Kislyaks attendance at Trumps first-ever foreign policy speech of the campaign was a harbinger of just how thoroughly Kislyak was pulling Trumps strings the entire time. By the time of the Republican Convention, Kislyak was once again in attendance, and several of Trumps advisers met with Kislyak as he rewrote a portion of the Republican party charter to his liking.

During the transition period, Trump adviser Michael Flynn made several phone calls to Kislyak. Flynn has since been exposed as a paid foreign agent of Russia. Did Trump give classified intel to Flynn, who then gave it to Kislyak? Trumps son in law Jared Kushner also met with Kislyak during the transition (link). And these are just the Kislyak meetings we know about. Its nearly a given that the loose lipped Trump shared classified intel with his entire circle. Which if any of them turned around and gave it to the Russian Ambassador? These questions must now be answered.

he does not American institutions. Maybe Russia reminds him of his father. I know that as a dyslexic I choke in front of people more powerful than I. Of the fear of being small.

(118,486 posts)4. Yes the Russians are in a power position over Trump. Why? We do not know
yet. Could be any one or more of many reasons.

And they are all saying, "Who knew this was going to be difficult?" and "I'm tired, let's go golfing for the weekend."
