Denounced?

In Helsinki, Trump stood next to Putin and was asked if he holds Russia accountable for ANYTHING.

Trump didn't name a single specific thing he holds Russia or Putin accountable for, then went on to attack the Russia probe and talk about his 2016 win.
See for yourself
Then, at the same event, the same reporter asked Putin why Americans should believe his denials about meddling. But before Putin can even answer, TRUMP BREAKS IN and discredits the conclusion that Russia meddled at all

It's hard to explain how insane this episode of Trump Inc is, in just the first five minutes
wnycstudios.org/story/trump-in…
First, during one of Trump's visits to Mar-a-Lago, a group of people, including Steve Bannon and other White House aides, commandeered one of the resort's bars and proceeded to rack up hundreds of dollars in charges for premium liquor, which the State Dept was billed for.
Over the objections of the State Department, Mar-a-Lago was ultimately paid by the White House -- whose chief occupant, Donald Trump, owns and still profits from the luxury resort.

1/ "In addition to whether the President had a motive related to Russia-related matters...we considered whether the President's intent in firing Comey was connected to other conduct that could come to light as a result of the FBI's Russia-interference investigation" - Mueller
2/ For example: "Facts uncovered in the Russia investigation...ultimately led to the conviction of Cohen in [SDNY] for campaign-finance offenses related to payments he said he made at the direction of the President." - Mueller Report, Vol II, p 77, footnote
Mueller couldn't prove that this was what Trump was thinking when he fired Comey, but the fact that Trump has been directly implicated in felony campaign finance violations as a result of the Russia investigation certainly speaks to why he might want to obstruct the investigation

The Veterans Choice & Accountability Act passed in 2014 -- before Trump was even running for president -- and Concerned Veterans for America is a dark money group funded by the Koch donor network that seeks to privatize much of what the VA does
And for his part, Trump secretly outsourced his VA policy to three of his paying customers at Mar-a-Lago who had no military service or government experience propublica.org/article/ike-pe…
Trump also let's his customers write notes about VA policy on Mar-a-Lago stationary that he'll pass along to his cabinet secretaries

#Putin starts with rare words in English to "Donald": Ok, Shall we start? Then says a new era of cooperation is at hand. "There's no reason US-Russia relations should be complicated. On 'so-called' interference, the Russian state has never interfered in US election & never will"
Trump just slammed "obstructive" Democrats and the press in prepared remarks at press conference with Putin at #HelsinkiSummit
Q: This morning you blamed the US. Do you blame Russia for anything?
Trump: Yes, I blame both countries. Mueller probe is ridiculous. There was no collusion. There was nobody to collude w.

So Trump uses false equivalence to let Russia off the hook for attacking his own country😡

4 years ago tomorrow (July 17, 2014), Malaysia Airlines Flight #MH17 was shot down by the Russian 53rd Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade, killing all 298 men, women and children aboard. #TreasonSummit #HelsinkiSummit
Not an auspicious beginning.
• Kremlin describes very different agenda than Trump
• Trump makes no mention of election interference in his opening remarks
• congratulates Russia on the World Cup – but not the winner, France

No puppet. #TreasonSummit interc.pt/2uoi9xI
Russia seconds #Trump’s tweet blaming U.S. for bad relations theintercept.com/2018/07/16/liv…

#BlameAmericaFirst (h/t @McFaul)

No puppet. #TreasonSummit

US Senators are planning to visit Russia, per Russian speaker Matviyenko tass.com/politics/10103…
GOP Senators to visit Russia for July 4—Independence Day. First official US delegation since the Kremlin attacked our democracy to elect Trump will reportedly include @SenShelby, @SenJohnKennedy, @SenatorHoeven. Nobody from Foreign Relations, Intel Cmtes nydailynews.com/news/world/ny-…
Are GOP senators visiting Russia now as another prelude to a Trump-Putin summit? Why are Republicans making nice with the authoritarian govt that attacked our election, wages war on our allies, & is partially responsible for our daily Trump nightmare?? And on Independence Day ffs

🗝(1) “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.”
For over a year we’ve been bombarded with rhetoric about #Russia #NorthKorea and #Iran yet no one seems to remember Clinton/Gore but we should, it’s important.
(2) #ClintonGore ran in 92’ consciously ignoring foreign policy and there’s no doubt America had war fatigue. Gore’s slogan was “it’s the economy stupid” and when they won despite the #ColdWar having just ended both of them barely even mentioned #Russia
(3) #ClintonGore inherited a political dream of sorts. For the first time #Russia was eager and willing to work with America they were cooperating across the spectrum and agreements with Bush Sr. were in place to reduce nuclear arsenals by 66% Democracy was at its most popular.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
