Need we ask this question again?

Is Donald Trump a tool of Vladimir Putin?

Have they communicated since Trump left office?

After almost 2 1/2 years, he is still hesitant to criticize Putin. When asked if he was pulling for Ukraine or Russia, he said he just wanted people to stop dying. He never seemed to see any national security interest in Ukraine, or recognized the alliance that has kept the peace in that part of the world for 75 years.

Seriously, we have to ask. Is Trump a tool of the Russian government? Has he shown national secrets to them?

More and more, there appears to be a continuing relationship between Trump and the Russian leaders.

they might have tailed him for decades and therefore know everything about him. It's not like they didn't have lifestyle overlap in NY

That he will welcome his help like in 2016. He has told him if he is in charge, Ukraine will not have the United States support.

What would you do if you were Putin? Trump is such an easy puppet to manipulate.

Because, we still do not know? But, it has appeared to be the case since his first day in office, and when he had General Flynn sneaking calls to the Russians and Jared Kushner attempting a secret channel of communication with them, beyond the reach of American intelligence.

Sorry, but of course we know tfg is a Putin asset and always has been and didn't even make much of a secret of it. I'm sure he's already sold Putin anything and everything he wants. We know it's the same with MBS because why else would he give Jared 2 BILLION DOLLARS??? Who else besides those 2 have been sold the stolen secrets - and exactly what did he reveal to them and what secrets does he still have hidden away? Those are the real questions remaining. Well - when will Garland indict - never or will he do his job???

The ignorance of how felonies get charged in the federal system is beyond tiresome. Since some of you out there refuse to comprehend reality, let me spell it out for you:

GARLAND CANNOT INDICT ANYONE FOR A FELONY! ONLY A GRAND JURY CAN!

GARLAND CANNOT INDICT ANYONE FOR A FELONY! ONLY A GRAND JURY CAN!

GARLAND CANNOT INDICT ANYONE FOR A FELONY! ONLY A GRAND JURY CAN!

GARLAND CANNOT INDICT ANYONE FOR A FELONY! ONLY A GRAND JURY CAN!

GARLAND CANNOT INDICT ANYONE FOR A FELONY! ONLY A GRAND JURY CAN!

GARLAND CANNOT INDICT ANYONE FOR A FELONY! ONLY A GRAND JURY CAN!

GARLAND CANNOT INDICT ANYONE FOR A FELONY! ONLY A GRAND JURY CAN!

GARLAND CANNOT INDICT ANYONE FOR A FELONY! ONLY A GRAND JURY CAN!

GARLAND CANNOT INDICT ANYONE FOR A FELONY! ONLY A GRAND JURY CAN!

GARLAND CANNOT INDICT ANYONE FOR A FELONY! ONLY A GRAND JURY CAN!

Will reality start sinking in at long bloody last so that crybabies will cease this ignorant and annoying whingeing about the matter?

Only he can establish the grand juries, they don't magically poof into existence. Endless repetitions are not needed, nor is nastiness.

of wealthy that are behind all the fascist shit going down. They've run out of ways to make money and so they're going to steal it from the American tax payers. What's the best way to rob a bank? Own one. Whats the best way to steal everything in the country not nailed down? Take over the government.
