Has Trump Turned Traitor? Trump thread continued.

[TheClaws]

The Trump-Putin Summit in Helsinki, coming so soon after Trump’s ally-crumbling display in Britain and at the EU, is still sinking in. Let’s just say: he’s in all kinds of shit. All the kompromat.

'The president’s bizarre obsession with “the DNC server” defies logic or even a basic understanding of what actually happened.'

I can't help but think it must be more than a pee tape but I guess it depends on who is seen doing what ...

'WH press sec Sanders acknowledged that Putin talked to Trump about his interest in prosecuting financier Bill Browder and former US ambassador Michael McFaul. she declined to rule out US cooperation in that effort, saying Trump would consult his national security team.'

'It happened! @PressSec tried to avoid @HallieJackson's follow-up questions by calling on The Hill's @JordanFabian. But Fabian deferred to Jackson, so she could follow up. So many viewers have wanted to see this happen... unity... and today it did.'

'Just because somebody was redheaded, they were accused of being some sort of spy for Russia.'

That was an interesting press conference.

That might be fake news

But it's believable

I've been unconnected to Trump stuff until now. All I can say is O.M.G.

And .... Bill Browder is a British citizen so Trump can't decide anything.

This is madness, serious stuff, life threatening. Vlad would love to get his hands on them. But I think Bill Browder is still a Brit ... Yes, see below tweet.

NEW @PressSec said @realDonaldTrump is considering offer to have Russians intvu @Billbrowder, he told me:
"POTUS doesn’t have jurisdiction over me bc I’m a British citizen.He’d have to discuss that w/ #TheresaMay & I don’t think she’d be too happy about turning me over to #Putin"

@McFaul
I hope the White House corrects the record and denounces in categorical terms this ridiculous request from Putin. Not doing so creates moral equivalency between a legitimacy US indictment of Russian intelligence officers and a crazy, completely fabricated story invented by Putin

@roburban
The White House says Trump entertained Putin's proposal to let Russia question Michael @McFaul, the former U.S. ambassador to Moscow and @Billbrowder (link: www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-18/putin-asked-trump-to-question-obama-s-ambassador-sanders-says) bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @bpolitics

An extraordinary disconnect between White House and State Department: .@PressSec says @realDonaldTrump is entertaining proposal from Putin to let Russia question former U.S. ambassador to Moscow, Michael McFaul. State calls idea "absurd."

Right move, wrong motive:

@HallieJackson
In a previously-unannounced move, President Trump and First Lady are currently en route to Joint Base Andrews to pay their respects to family of agent Nole Edward Remagen.
Kelly O'Donnell

Body of Secret Service Agent who died in Scotland after stroke returns to Joint Base Andrews today.

Unfortunately, kalapattar, so much of all this is rabbit hole stuff.

But certainly I do don't wish to wrong Sarah Palin.

@kylegriffin1
Sarah Sanders claims that Trump was saying "no" to answering questions and not "no" to whether Russia is still meddling.

Sanders later says reporters should "quit going after" the Trump admin "on every single thing."

@CeciliaVega
Getting a lot of questions about my exchange with @realDonaldTrump today.
Yes, he was looking directly at me when he spoke.
Yes, I believe he heard me clearly. He answered two of my questions.
Here’s the full exchange:

@HallieJackson
Here's the thing about what the @PressSec said about @POTUS "no" response: in the countless time I've been in the Oval or Cabinet Room or wherever trying to shout questions, I've never heard the president say "no' in order to get us to stop.
@HallieJackson

'State Department Silent on MH17 Anniversary Following Trump-Putin Firestorm.
The department prepared to criticize Russia’s role in the 2014 downing of a civilian airliner over Ukraine, but the statement was never released.'
'The State Department draft was set to go out as early as Monday but was quashed at the last minute. Officials were told to “stand down” on releasing it because Secretary of State Mike Pompeo “did not approve” the language, according to one official familiar with the deliberations.

The statement said the evidence “conclusively proves” the missile came from a specific Russian military brigade, “was brought into sovereign Ukrainian territory from Russia, was fired from Russia-controlled territory in eastern Ukraine, and was then returned to Russian territory.” '
