This entire Trump Operation has been fraught with errors. Putin seems to be thinking "They know what we're up to, but so what? Our joe is still in position and doing his magic!"

And I am beginning to think perhaps there is money sent to Swiss bank accounts?

The GOP is doing Russia's bidding, there must be something in it for the GOP. They are all about money and power. Why else would the GOP let Russia hack elections, and put American soldiers in harm's way for Russia.

And the richest man in the history of the world.

He didn't get that rich by spending his own money.
And he seems to be a very successful criminal master mind.

Under the draft agreement, Russia and Niger will interact in the war on terror, exchange information on military and political issues and the issues of strengthening international security
Share
MOSCOW, August 10. /TASS/. Russia plans to sign a military cooperation deal with the Republic of Niger in West Africa, including interaction in the war on terror and measures to strengthen international security, according to a Russian government resolution published on the government’s legal information web portal on Thursday.
Under the document, the Russian government had made a decision "to approve a draft military cooperation agreement between the government of the Russian Federation and the government of the Republic of Niger submitted by the Defense Ministry and approved by the Foreign Ministry of Russia and other departments concerned."

The document instructs the Russian Defense Ministry to hold negotiations with the Nigerien side and, upon agreeing, sign the relevant deal. The Defense Ministry is authorized to make amendments to the draft document, if these alterations are not of fundamental nature.

I believe we have totally underestimated Putin.

Something smells really bad in Niger and Trump is trying like crazy to not talk about it. I'm betting that's why he Tweeted about his Pee Pee tape to try to deflect away from Niger. I have a feeling this is yuuge.
This could turn out like Nigeria. A corrupt government sells out its people for oil.
