It's no longer is trump compromised, but how corrupt are the repukes who refuse to do their duty and remove this obvious threat. It's also a test for those who claim to be patriots and yet still wear their maga hats daily.

which makes it illegal to provide national defense secrets to a foreign government? I know that a president can declassify information himself, but is it nevertheless espionage if a president gives such information to a hostile foreign state in furtherance of his personal interests and directly contrary to the interests of the United States?

It's all about him and how he can profit from a situation. He doesn't give a damn about this country or anybody in it.

...actually remember when Republican Presidents hated autocratic Communist Russia and demanded we challenge them globally...

...today's Republican Presidents love autocratic Tsar-Putin's Russia and are more than willing to echo the Kremlin's line...

...Republicans love autocratic rule...so long as it's Fascist not Socialist...

10. Was Trump Or His People Ever Successful In Setting Up Backchannel Communications.....

with Russia and Putin? I know that there was talk about setting up back channel communications - but I don't think I ever read anything about it actually happening.

How else is is that Trump seems to be echoing the Kremlin line every chance he gets?

Is he talking to Putin behind our backs. Did he have conversations with Putin while he was a prisoner in the WH over the holidays?
