Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal the details of his face-to-face meetings with Putin even from his own aides, including once confiscating the notes of his interpreter and banishing staff from other meetings. By @gregpmiller washingtonpost.com/world/national…
The one detail other officials wrangled from the interpreter after Hamburg meeting: After Putin denied interfering in US election, Trump responded, "I believe you." Extraordinary reporting from @gregpmiller washingtonpost.com/world/national…
More from @gregpmiller: US officials monitor Kremlin intercepts to try to figure out what happened in meetings between our president and Putin. Intercepts are not always widely discussed because they contain insults about Trump and Kushner. Awkward. washingtonpost.com/world/national…

With Flynn's sentencing next week, it's time to reflect on another Cohen-Sater production, this one with a possible tie to the former National Security Adviser. (1/5)
In Jan 2017, Sater arranged for Cohen to meet in New York with a Ukrainian lawmaker who gave Cohen a secret peace proposal for Ukraine, which just happened to include a path for Russia to gain longterm control of Crimea (and get sanctions lifted). (2/5)
What happened to that plan, which Sater gave Cohen in an envelope? An interesting question. Cohen told @thamburger and me that he took the unopened envelope to his New York apartment and threw it in the trash. (3/5) washingtonpost.com/politics/amid-…

Roger Stone says Monday “perhaps they have squeezed poor Dr. Corsi to frame me.” He also acknowledges there are texts and emails between the two of them that could be "taken out of context." washingtonpost.com/politics/conse…
"He has his own demons," Roger Stone says of Jerome Corsi, in perhaps an indication of where things may be headed.
washingtonpost.com/politics/conse…
Corsi says that after turning over two computers and copious communications and sitting for six sessions with prosecutors over 40 hours, he now expects to be indicted for lying. With @RoigFranzia @CarolLeonnig washingtonpost.com/politics/conse…

Trump’s decision to fire Comey and other attempts to contain the ongoing Russia investigation led the FBI in May 2017 to launch a counterintelligence investigation into whether Trump was seeking to help Russia and if so, why.

Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal details of his conversations with Putin, including confiscating the notes of his own interpreter and instructing the linguist not to reveal what had transpired with his OWN administration officials
#Maddow
Trump has regularly concealed communications with Putin and even prevented his own high-ranking officials from knowing what he told a main adversary of the US. There's no detailed record of Trump’s face-to-face interactions with Putin at 5 locations over the past 2 years.

"Trump did so after a meeting w Putin in 2017 in Hamburg, also attended by then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. US officials learned of Trump’s actions when a WH adviser & a senior State Depart official sought info from the interpreter beyond a readout shared by Tillerson"
The constraints that Trump imposed are part of a broader pattern by Trump of shielding his communications w Putin from public scrutiny & preventing even high-ranking officials in his own administration from fully knowing what he has told one of the United States’ main adversaries

NEW: Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal details of his conversations w/ Putin, including on at least 1 occasion taking possession of the notes of his own interpreter.

There is no record, even in classified files, of his meetings w/ Putin.
wapo.st/2Fyrqtt?tid=ss…
To keep his conversations with Putin a secret, Trump took the notes from his own interpreter and then instructed them not to discuss what transpired with members *of his own administration.*

He's hiding his discussions with Putin ... from his own administration.
This is "part of a broader pattern by [Trump] of shielding his communications w/ Putin from public scrutiny & preventing even high-ranking officials in his own administration from fully knowing what he has told one of the United States’ main adversaries."

Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal details of his conversations with 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 🚨 wapo.st/2Fyrqtt?tid=ss…
U.S. officials said there is no detailed record, even in classified files, of Trump’s face-to-face interactions with the Russian leader at five locations over the past two years.
U.S. intelligence agencies have been reluctant to call attention to their reports because they have at times included comments by foreign officials disparaging the president or his advisers, including his son-in-law Jared Kushner. "The feedback tended not to be positive.”

2/ Not even spies do this—this is dumb, evil collusion.

"Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal details of his conversations with Putin, including taking his interpreter's notes and instructing a linguist not to discuss what transpired with administration officials."
3/ Trump met privately with Putin and Tillerson in Hamburg in July '17. Then the press started prying into what was said. Then Trump's Middle Eastern allies began using proxies—e.g. Broidy—to get Trump to fire Tillerson. Did they decide Tillerson wasn't loyal enough post-Hamburg?
