I think Trump may have done a deal with Russia that his advisers didn't know about

[Quixote1818]

Probably to line his pockets. He may have been talking to Russia directly and these calls were picked up which he is just finding out about. Sessions and others may have just been told he wanted to create better relations with Russia, get in on the oil, maybe use Russia to put pressure on China. So Trump was ordering them to call the ambassador to assure them "Hey, don't worry everything is cool." Unwittingly they were covering for Trump's secret deal. Part of that was the Wikileaks dumps.

I believe this because Sessions may only be in this a little bit and he doesn't want to get in deeper. That's why he recuse himself so easily and Trump is now so pissed off.

Thoughts?

1. Don't know. Wouldn't put ANYTHING past him, though.

Nothing, nada, zilch.

2. Knowing how fond 45 is of playing

both ends against the middle, I wouldn't be at all surprised. Pitting the GOP against Putin to get the best deal for himself.

3. I think he encouraged them to hack the elections

and everything else that might help him.

4. Don't be fooled by the dumb hick act

I have always thought Sessions was an idiot, but I see now I was wrong. He did not "get gossipy" with another elderly gent, he conspired with a spy with the intent of forwarding his own agenda.

5. Sessions is in full CYA mode. He knows it's jail time for perjury if he doesn't try

something. That's the best he can do under the circumstances. He lied period.

6. I still want to know what Comey told the Democrats

in that Jan. meeting that made them so mad.. maybe something donald said on tape?
