Trump said Crimea is Russian because the people speak Russian

It sounds like he’s defending his friend Putin. It’s wrong but not surprising by now.

"It is unclear whether Trump’s comments were throwaway remarks said in jest, or whether he was signalling a radical departure from current US foreign policy." https://t.co/tcNn7zxEMw

Putin told Trump to discontinue exercises with South Korea

Putin should be thrilled by the damage Trump is doing to our alliances with other countries. I don’t think Putin could ask for more from Trump.

Gee what a surprise. A January piece in the Wall Street Journal – five months ago – reported that Trump had been told by a key advisor to drop joint military exercises with South Korea.

The advisor? Vladimir Putin. Trump knifed an ally to aid an enemy on the advice of Russia.

I LOVE that trump cultists are saying it is fake news that the WSJ reported five months ago that Putin advised Trump to drop military exercises with South Korea. It was reported – in a Murdoch paper. https://t.co/T9m7mWz7z1

70% of voters think Trump shouldn’t fire Mueller

66% of Republicans believe Trump’s lie that there were spies in his campaign. There are no facts to support it and prominent congressional Republicans have said it’s not true. The Republican voters believe Trump.

70% of voters say Trump shouldn't fire Mueller. 13% say he should.

Republicans say 50-23% Trump shouldn't fire Mueller.

56% say the FBI informant was "routine." 33% say the FBI spied on the Trump camp. Repubs are the only group who believe the spy allegation. @QuinnipiacPoll

Bolton’s top aide doesn’t believe in Russia election meddling

Bolton’s new top aide “…said last year that U.S. intelligence reports on Russia’s election meddling were “rigged.”” according to this article.

The article states he “…even said that President Trump should “pardon everyone” under investigation in the Russia matter.”

NSC chief of staff Fred Fleitz was co-author of a book which claims, ludicrously, that 80% of U.S. mosques advocate “violent jihad” and calls, ominously, for revoking “the citizenship of naturalized Americans” who promote shariah law. Me in @PostOpinions: https://t.co/aTcvxjmGJv

Where does the Trump administration find these people?

Sad!

Complete list of Mueller indictments and plea deals so far

The next time someone says the Russia investigation is a hoax, show them this list of indictments and plea deals.

Sad!

What does Russia have on Trump?

There is no rational way to explain Trump’s suggestion that Russia should be readmitted to the G7 unless Russia has something on him. Russia was expelled because of their attack on the Ukraine. Since then, there was their meddling in the US election and the poisoning in the UK. There is no way they should be allowed back.

Trump has alienated our allies and put tariffs on him. He has taken the US out of the Iran accord but has nothing to replace it. He made the US the only country that is not in the Paris climate agreement. He withdrew from the TPP but has nothing instead. Asian countries will trade without us. Do you really think he can make deals? He has multiple bankruptcies, stiffed contractors, and pulled the Trump University scam. I don’t see how he is capable of making good deals that will help the US. He’s just a bully and liar.

He attacks our allies but sucks up to North Korea.

Putin must be thrilled by Trump’s disgraceful behavior.

Sad!

Update:

What we *do* know is that the explanation must involve something big that Trump wants Putin either to do FOR him — or to refrain from doing TO him. And that it’s something for which Trump is prepared to sacrifice America’s national security. That makes him a danger to us all. https://t.co/yvaPLHXfKi

A great idea for a law

If you’re in a campaign for federal office and a foreign agent offers you dirt on your opponent, you should tell the @FBI. After hearing from so many witnesses in #TrumpRussia investigation who didn’t, I wrote a bill that’d require it. @TheAtlantic op-ed: https://t.co/AFhng0k9TL

The Trump campaign should have report the Russian offer for dirt on Clinton to the FBI.

Trump still hasn’t imposed Russia sanctions mandated by Congress

The Trump administration still hasn’t imposed sanctions on Russia passed by Congress. (I forgot to post this a few weeks ago but couldn’t find any change to the situation). What does Russia have on Trump?

Senate Democrats have asked for investigations.

Manafort accused of witness tampering

Disastrous decision by Paul Manafort. This will be used against Manafort at trial and will also be considered by the judge at sentencing. https://t.co/WpLBiVHfNA

— Renato Mariotti (@renato_mariotti) June 5, 2018

New filing: Mueller's team says there's "probable cause to believe that Manafort has violated 18 U.S.C. § 1512(b) by attempting to tamper with potential witnesses while on pretrial release and, accordingly, has violated the conditions of his release."https://t.co/qKYaCdarwO

Paul Manafort now has two options. Keep fighting the government & spend the rest of his life in prison. Cooperate with the government & spend part of his life in prison.

Hoping @realDonaldTrump would try to pardon him went away this weekend when Trump threw him under the bus. https://t.co/SMh21W7EIH
