1. Now that some of the Trump lies are exposed, we have to look back at one horrifying event and see it in completely different context: Trump's one-on-one meeting with Putin and his subsequent treasonous declaration of support for Putin over our intelligence agencies...
2...we know for fact that, at the time of that meeting, Putin had kompromat - compromising information - about Trump. Trump knew it. Putin knew it. The info: That Trump had aggressively and repeatedly lied to the American people about his business interests in Moscow....
3...by uttering a single sentence - "Mr. President, we enjoyed our negotiations with you about Trump Tower Moscow" - Putin had the power to plunge Trump into scandal, where only Fox News and other propagandists would defend him. In fact, the magnitude and importance of this....
4...Trump lie has been missed amid the torrent of others. For the first time in our knowledge, a foreign power engaged in an assault on America had compromised the President of the United States. Making it worse, Trump insisted on an unprecedented discussion completely alone...
5...both men in the room knew Trump had lied. Both men in the room knew that Trump was seeking financial benefits from Putin. Was Trump's conversation "We are outraged by your attack on American democracy!" Or "Look, Vlad, if you don't disclose the lie I've been telling, then...
6...I'll keep defending you." Or, the absolute worst possibility, "I'll keep defending you. But then once my presidency is done, I want you to green light Trump Tower Moscow. That's the deal." What happened? We don't know. We know that, afterwards, Trump so aggressively....
7...slobbered all over Putin, while insulting our intelligence agencies, that even Fox News was aghast. I believe it is virtually assured that either the information compromising Trump or his thirst for Trump Tower Moscow - or some other business deal we don't know about - was..
8...discussed in this meeting. There is NO reason for Trump to insist they meet together, alone, unless he did not want the conversation to be heard. Who, when being accused of virtual treason in consort with the Russians, would have a private meeting with Putin? Unfortunately...
9...only Trump and Putin - and the Russian intelligence services who were recording everything being said - know what happened in that room. Trump will never tell the truth. Which means that, in all likelihood, the country engaged in a cyberwar against this country has....
10...even MORE compromising material on the President of the United States. A President that refuses to act on the Russian attacks, no matter how many times the intelligence community tells him about it.
THIS is why the @HouseDemocrats MUST call Marina Gross, the translator...
THIS is why the @HouseDemocrats MUST call Marina Gross, the translator...
11...at Helsinki meeting, to testify. This would be unprecedented, and I don't know the law surrounding it. But @HouseIntelComm could certainly get this testimony behind closed doors. Gross may be the answer of whether Trump discussed US interests with Putin, or treason.
