Russian President Vladimir Putin fired a warning shot at Trump this week, strategically dropping compromising information to remind Trump that he has saved all the receipts from their interactions — and he’s not afraid to use them.

Citing a Russian government official, the Financial Times reported Tuesday that Trump met with Putin at last year’s G-20 summit in Buenos Aires, without a translator or anyone from his administration present during the exchange.

The revelation provides the most detailed account to date of Trump and Putin’s interactions during the November summit — and the details don’t line up with the White House’s description of the event.

While Trump and Putin had initially been scheduled to meet at the summit, Trump publicly canceled the meeting amid new revelations about his financial and business ties to Moscow. Trump cited Russia’s increased aggression toward Ukraine as a reason for canceling the meeting just ahead of the annual summit.

3. That's because......

the Pugs aren't done with getting their judges into place and arranging more tax cuts for their favorite 1%.
Besides, if they don't get some more of these environmental protections eliminated their own stock portfolios will continue to suffer by having to pay for things that actually make living in America better.

2. For a second, the first part of the headline gave me false hope ...

Russians ... embarrass Trump .... leak (Golden Showers) ...

Lunch bag let down ...

Pelosi should cut to the chase and invite Putin to deliver the State of the Union
He probably knows more about it than Trump.

4. Putin to speak?

Probably a good idea - and I'd be willing to bet he'd be a better speaker!

6. Putin has the receipts

That's really all that needs to be said. The Trumpster is cornered in all directions.

7. Speculation the leak is to pressure Trump to ease up on sanctions against Putin ally Maduro

Russia is not happy with latest US sanction policies towards Venezuela and possible affect on Russia getting their loan repayments back from Venezuela and Maduro that our sanctions could affect.
