"SNIP.....
President Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal details of his conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, including on at least one occasion taking possession of the notes of his own interpreter and instructing the linguist not to discuss what had transpired with other administration officials, the Washington Post reports.
Trump did so after a meeting with Putin in 2017 in Hamburg that was also attended by then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. U.S. officials learned of Trumps actions when a White House adviser and a senior State Department official sought information from the interpreter beyond a readout shared by Tillerson.
There is no detailed record, even in classified files, of Trumps face-to-face interactions with the Russian leader over the past two years
Such a gap would be unusual in any presidency, let alone one that Russia sought to install through what U.S. intelligence agencies have described as an unprecedented campaign of election interference.

Zero consequences for any misbehavior - hence the tantrum with Speaker Pelosi and Senator Schumer.

(111,104 posts)But nobody subpoenaed the records from the interpreter. I had not heard about them taking possession of the notes from the interpreter? Or instructing the linguist not to discuss what had transpired with other administration officials?
Wouldn't you be curious if you were the FBI??
