🚨🚨🚨Trump did it AGAIN! He met Putin privately at G20 w/ no one but a translator present. Recall he nixed a formal meeting—which would have had a US team & witnesses present. He had said it wouldn’t be right to meet b/c Russia seized 24 Ukrainian sailors in Kerch Strait. 😡🤯😡
Trump managed to reprise Helsinki debacle and make it worse! He had a private meeting with Putin at G20—after saying he wouldn’t, trying to show he was being tough on Russia after Kerch aggression. AND no Americans were present. Not even a US translator! You bet the CI probe=open
>>> Trump and Putin had informal formal sit-down at G20. They talked Syria, Ukraine and a future US-Russia summit during an off-the-books and unreported meeting in Argentina, with only Melania and a Kremlin translator for company. @HenryJFoy @JamesPoliti on.ft.com/2GdEKDw
Russia rubs it in: “When Putin is somewhere, his people are there: always. There is someone from his side with him at all times, until he goes to bed. With the Americans it is different. The advisers, the aides, they don’t always stick around outside official meetings." #ТрампНаш 
I've lost track of how many times we've learned about Trump's contacts with Putin & Kremlin officials from Russian sources. The Kremlin leaked the latest unreported sit-down G20 meeting—w/o even a US translator. Chilling reminder about who's boss & who's puppet. THREAD 👇@RVAwonk
🚨Trump's maintaining a secret communication channel w Russia. The pattern is unmistakable. As recently as November, T yet again sent away all US officials so he can talk to Putin privately—w/o note-takers or staff. While Russia conspiracy gets closer to him & his family. #Maddow
