NEW YORK — Hillary Clinton questioned Donald Trump’s intentions and ripped the president for failing to stand up to Russian President Vladimir Putin at an event Saturday in New York’s Central Park.

“It’s alarming on many, many levels,” said Clinton, discussing last week’s Helsinki summit between Trump and Putin.

During an interview with Laurene Powell Jobs, the philanthropist and executive who was married to the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee portrayed Putin as a ruthless strongman bent on sowing dissension in the United States.

Putin is behind all their meetings and he's wanting his puppet trump to help him criminalize Hillary with this latest offer trump claimed was great, but it was to accuse Hillary and the Amb. and maybe even President Obama with as revenge to go after them with , and then have trump agree , and say we have a justice system everyone around the world is laughing at now, and it should be like putins.
Look for putin to have charges soon against these people and others soon. trumps just a puppet for him now, and working for him now. trump is a russian asset, and loyal to only putin . Look who's trying to appoint kangaroo judges like putin did in russia a breakneck speeds , and helping him is McDonnell. Putin has a corrupt system of justice , and his judges to make everything under his control for absolute power . He's trying here to use trump to do the same thing.

...either directly to Putin, or to his people when the situation calls for it. She's always prepared with the facts needed to defeat him. Why are the Republicans so blind to Putin's evil doings?
