Today is 9th of July 2017
DAY 170 OF TRUMP PRESIDENCY
I am sorry guys, my post yesterday have been deleted (i don’t know why. It was about Ivanka and information from NYTIMES that Donald Trump Jr. had met with a kremlin connected lawyer during the campaign along Manafort & Kushner)
Ok. Today Trump is throwing a Twitter shitshow…

We never met w/ Russians -> ok. We did but it wasnt campaign related -> it was about adoption -> Russians set us up -> it was Dem operatives

Per NYT, Trump began meeting with Putin by saying, "I’m going to get this out of the way: Did you do this?" https://t.co/KTqZbgQMoi pic.twitter.com/HHaBFtAHq4

I've never spoken to anybody close to Trump who says privately that he endorses IC view that Russia tried to influence election to help him. https://t.co/ARIbNEDTrS

TODAY
The G 20 Summit was a great success for the U.S. – Explained that the U.S. must fix the many bad trade deals it has made. Will get done!

He denies and you believe it?!
I strongly pressed President Putin twice about Russian meddling in our election. He vehemently denied it. I've already given my opinion…..

CIA/FBI/NSA/ODNI assess with high confidence that Russia interfered in the election to help Trump, on Putin's orders https://t.co/6P5gIU9CIy https://t.co/GoWDorRdmg

Nothing says "America First" like taking the word of Vladimir Putin over the assessments of your own U.S. intelligence agencies. https://t.co/a3nKMdCFkK

WE ARE NOT MOVING FORWARD, DUMBASS
…We negotiated a ceasefire in parts of Syria which will save lives. Now it is time to move forward in working constructively with Russia!

Hahahahahaha
Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded..

As a Twitter pal said the other day, this is like the FBI forming a joint task force with the mafia https://t.co/AM57UowZdj

Partnering with Putin on a "Cyber Security Unit" is akin to partnering with Assad on a "Chemical Weapons Unit". 2/3

This dude is a russian agent OR WHAT?!
…have it. Fake News said 17 intel agencies when actually 4 (had to apologize). Why did Obama do NOTHING when he had info before election?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 9, 2017
This is getting amazing.
"We going to partner with…the election hackers 0BBAMA should have done something about."

What's the best case scenario here? Trump does have shady Russian ties and is being blackmailed or is this stupid? https://t.co/ssEdXkhKo8

Sanctions were not discussed at my meeting with President Putin. Nothing will be done until the Ukrainian & Syrian problems are solved!

For years, even as a "civilian," I listened as Republicans pushed the Repeal and Replace of ObamaCare. Now they finally have their chance!

Republicans = "they."
Sort of like how people refer to their struggling hometown team, which becomes "we," if/when the team starts winning. https://t.co/L8XWdU5UYR— Kenneth P. Vogel (@kenvogel) July 9, 2017

Yesterday Trump Jr said the meeting was about adoption.
A few months ago he denied that a meeting like this ever happened https://t.co/zECebf5Wfc

Hey guys.
I think we're getting close. Because this is collusion. Quid pro quo. https://t.co/XF0Yl7PWQe

Thank god
Fortunately, whatever is/isn't there regarding Trump Jr. & the Russians will be fully investigated by new Trump/Putin Cyber Security Team.

We had no contact with Russia.
OK, it was about adoptions. Or sanctions.
OK, it was about damaging info on HRC. https://t.co/4QHYfCJ0TS

Parsing Don Jr's statement, key points: 1) Doesn't deny story 2) confirms Manafort/Jared attended 3) who is "acquaintance" who set it up?
— Glenn Thrush (@GlennThrush) July 9, 2017
So that's why Jared Kushner filed a false application for his security clearance
— David Frum (@davidfrum) July 9, 2017
most damaging part of Don Jr. admission: by taking meeting, he, Manafort & Kushner sent message back to Russians: yes, we are ready to deal
— Norm Eisen (@NormEisen) July 10, 2017
Ooof, what? huh?
The fact that President Putin and I discussed a Cyber Security unit doesn't mean I think it can happen. It can't-but a ceasefire can,& did!
