What does it take for the republican lawmakers to face the reality, that they are dealing with Russian asset in the White House?
This breaking story is about the republican President Donald Trump having an undisclosed second meeting with the Russia’s leader Vladimir Putin at the G20 Summit. It happened after a G20 social dinner was held where the leaders and their spouses were invited. There are various accounts as to the time length of the meeting and what was discussed. This is an evolving story.
As per a 7/18/17 Washington Post report, “a senior administration official said, halfway through the meal, President Trump left his seat to occupy an empty chair next to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump was alone, and Putin was attended only by his official interpreter.”
Here’s the rest of the story…
“On July 18, 2017, Max Greenwood of the Hill penned the following report, “Ian Bremmer: Trump, Putin held second informal meeting at G-20.”
“President Trump held a second, informal meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in Hamburg earlier this month, according to Ian Bremmer, the president of the international consulting firm Eurasia Group.”
“The meeting took place during the G-20 heads of state dinner, according to Bremmer, hours after Trump’s formal bilateral sit-down with Putin.”
“Trump’s interactions with Putin are the subject of particularly intense scrutiny in the U.S., because of the ongoing special counsel and congressional investigations into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow.”
“That Trump was not joined in the conversation by his own translator is a breach of national security protocol, Bremmer noted, though one that the president likely would not know about.”
“Trump and Putin met for a formal discussion during the G-20 summit — a meeting that was scheduled to last 30 minutes but exceeded two hours.”
“Bremmer said in an interview with Bloomberg’s Charlie Rose that the rapport that Trump established with Putin during the summit is “clearly his best personal relationship” with a G-20 leader.”
“Never in my life as a political scientist have I seen two countries — major countries — with a constellation of national interests that are as dissonant, while the two leaders seem to be doing everything possible to make nice and be close to each other,” he said.”

Amazing the different things that keep coming to light that no-one seems to think important enough to mention at the time. From a family that claim no meetings with Russians they seem to be living with them these days.
I’m wondering which concession to the Russians will come first, my money is on the compounds being released back to them.

Dear David Prosser,
I am afraid that you are right but I am praying for a different outcome. But each week more and more is becoming known. The waiting is hard to take.

Gronda, what I read is our fearless leader bypassed sitting down with our allies to go sit with his comrade, pun intended. This story slowly gets worse and I would not be surprised if our leader was compromised. The key to getting on Trump’s good side is to flatter him, then he is very pliable. Keith

Dear Keith,
DDT should just move to Moscow. After all that the free press, the protesters, the separate judicial independent branch of government and the independent law enforcement branch FBI are simply cramping his style.
He and his buddy Bannon have yet to figure out that we are not Russia. And what he hates are what most of us love about this country.

Dear !EarthUnited,
Thanks for this reference.
I do follow Louise Mensch. She was first to post on information about FISA warrant re the Trump-Russian saga but I do not blog on anything from her site unless it is confirmed by another more reliable source. While her theories and writing can be interesting, the posts are not consistently accurate..

What would a caged, wild animal do when they are cornered on all sides by its captors. That seems to be the imminent prospect we are facing with this Presidency.
