Ex-FBI agent explains how Trump's suspicious behavior with Russia has continued since the summit

[UCmeNdc]

Top officials in the intelligence and defense community delivered a White House briefing Thursday intending to show resolve and commitment to countering the threat from Russia’s efforts to undermine American Democracy. But one major voice was missing from the briefing — that of President Donald Trump.

As former special agent at the FBI Clint Watts argued on MSNBC Thursday afternoon, Trump’s conspicuous absence from the briefing extends an ongoing pattern of suspicious behavior from the president regarding Russia. This behavior was on display after Trump held a private summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki last month and then proceeded to deliver an obsequious press conference with the authoritarian leader that stunned many observers.

Questions about this meeting have only multiplied since it took place, as no official readout about what the two leaders discussed has been released.

Very telling that Trump is in deep to Putin. One wrong move and Putie will strike.

3. He's not just a puppet of Putin's...

Since the TURN OF THE MILLENIUM the only people who would provide funds for his real estate ventures, after Western banks largely determined he was a con man, were Russian oligarchs (mobsters). He is going down, one way or the other.

And faster approach involves everyone here on DU – and our networks of friends – going door to door (politely) in October and November.
