Trump “endorsed a bizarre proposal from Putin, in which Special Counsel Robert Mueller would work with Russian officials to investigate cybercrimes against American political organizations.”
It’s not about justice.
Trump’s goal is to destroy the Mueller investigation, or compromise the US IC, or the US justice system. Because Trump’s willing to compromise US intelligence agencies to stay out of jail.
President Trump, who gleefully defies the norms of presidential behavior, went somewhere in Helsinki, Finland...where none of his predecessors have ever gone: He accepted the explanation of a hostile foreign leader over the findings of his own intelligence agencies.
Trump went on to endorse Putin’s idea for how that probe should operate going forward: Russian law enforcement would agree to interrogate the 12 Russians that Mueller had indicted — and allow members of his team to observe those interrogations — in exchange for the United States agreeing to interrogate American intelligence officials whom the Kremlin has accused of committing crimes against Russia (with Russian law enforcement in the room).
“We would expect that the Americans would reciprocate,” Putin explained, “and they would question officials, including the officers of law enforcement and intelligence services of the United States, who we believe have something to do with illegal actions on the territory of Russia, and we have to request the presence of our law enforcement.”
Trump praised this “interesting idea,” and cited Putin’s offer as evidence that the Russian government did not interfere in the 2016 election.
But it might actually be evidence of the opposite...
And then there’s that NRA-spy deal with the associate of the Russian mobster-banker, making one wonder what patriotism the NRA has when it aids and abets foreign influence operations.
No truth to the rumor that Trump thinks the Beagle Boys should install the burglar alarms on the McDuck money bin
The Beagle Boys are a group of fictional characters from the Donald Duck universe. Created by Carl Barks, they are a family clan of organized criminals who constantly try to rob Scrooge McDuck.
