McFaul: ‘Really Strange’ Trump And Putin Would Not Discuss Russian Bounties | The Last Word | MSNBC
No, It’s really not. Trump sold us out to Russia and the entire Republican Party is perfectly okay with that.
Russia Russia Russia! You left wing nuts! Really Putin til2036 his people have voted! He’s in!
@joe kaniuga what a shithole your country is. The nations leader has to hawk beans from the national reside to make a few bucks.
@Nevyn of OZ 1973 He’s too dumb to realize why he and his cult leader are a joke.
The Republican Party Receives Generous $$$ with Huge Tax-Cuts from Moscow Mitch and Many, Many Wealthy American’s. Get Involved Don’t Wait!
Alexander Supertramp
well if you have proof that none of the intelligence agencies have post it.
Trump: I spoke with Putin and he strongly denies it, says our CIA is fake news…
@Helene Flamand I will sum up and repeat again – it is the West that is conducting an aggressive policy towards Russia, trying to make Russia “obedient” and manageable, but Putin was a “strong nut” after the “drunk” and loyal (to the West) President Yeltsin, under whom Russia was “respected” and “loved” (in the 90s I was young, but actively interested in politics) ! And since then, I realized one thing, the West likes a poor and “obedient” Russia more! If it makes you feel better, call me whatever you want, troll, bot, etc…
@Alex xelA Like I said, I am done. Two wrongs won’t make it right.
@Helene Flamand ок…
@Alex xelA You don’t need any other agency, news or otherwise, to figure out Alex Jones is just about the worst place you could get information. Now I’m laughing at you again, you came back to *defend* Alex Jones? OMG!! LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!
Stop it, you’re killing me! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!
@Alex xelA PEOPLE CAN TELL YOU’RE A RUSSIAN BOT!! geez, you’re just not getting it, you failed in your bot mission this time, we ALL see it.
Why would Trump condemn his boss? Russia has been giving Trump money for years.
this poster … is part of Putin’s campaign to sow division is a Russian power promoter. and obviously part of the Kremlins campaign to interfere.
@Sean M Sean spamming those youtube comments for cult leader Trump. Good cover Sean, accuse them of what your guy is actually doing.
Yes & Remember little Don Jr. Verified that boasting like almost 2 years ago. Melania understands Russian that’s why all the meetings are only Putin, Trump & Melania. Smh! He is 1st President to hold these meetings w/ out translator!🙏🇺🇸
How about you state some sources? No, didnt think so
There’s nothing strange about it. Trump needs Putin’s continued interference, just like he needed it in 2016.
Putin has Trump wrapped around his little finger.
I totally agree with you. Comrade Orange needs Putin hacks more than ever, so he’s turning a blind eye to Puin/Taliban contract hits on American soldiers in Afghanistan, while sets the secret police to tear gas peaceful protesters in Portland. For a little levity check out Putin’s Toy[ click the J to play. 4,903 views] Feel free to leave a comment Mr Precedent, I welcome your opinion.
@John Gray As a fish is fed “bait”, you in the US eat instantly any information (because the public is already “prepared” – “Putin and Russia, this is the enemy of America”)! Tomorrow, the new York times will publish an article about Putin hiding live aliens under Moscow, and all of America (as in kindergarten) will make a noise and shout – “show them to the world”, and all this will be told in full earnest! America is a country of advertising and manipulation of public opinion, this was well described by Oliver stone in an interview with RT, which he gave in January 2020…
Democrats insist on Russia influencing the election, the thing they cant conceive of is that Russia want Biden to win because he is more likely to make America easier to be taken advantage of and bring the end to the country.
They all think that Russia want Trump to win which is so far from the truth!
@Marilyn Reallon stop being a puppet, we all know what you believe because I can say confidently all you watch is MSNBC AND CNN because you are so close minded your a bigot..
@Alic4444 you think Russia would want Trump as leader? Did it never occur to you they are trying to get Biden to win so he destroys the country.. Trump makes Russia’s life hard, Biden is easy picking.. OPEN YOUR MIND PLEASE
Donnie always lies. He does not do anything , that doesn’t benefit him.
They talked about all of the money comrade Donnie owes Putin.
Trump can’t wait for Putin to put it in again.
The Republicans are the big red R.
If Trump ISN’T a Russian agent, I’ve been trying to figure out exactly what he would be doing differently if he were… I’m coming up empty.
Putin strongly and very powerful said he didn’t do it
He didn’t even have to in this instance is what McFaul’s saying; a gnat’d be more powerful than Derelict Donnie, who got his good boy belly rub
Benedict tRump is a poor S.O.B. for not bringing up bounties on our troops with Russian President Putain.↔️😉
Agree on all counts.
If Trump is not compromised he sure plays someone who is on TV.
Calder Wishne Good one.
putin has had his military take a very aggressive stance against the U.S. military for years -having russian planes buzz American air force planes by flying dangerously close on multiple occasions as well as having russian naval ships do the same to U.S. Navy ships while russian sailors pretended to be sunbathing in an effort to both intimidate and infuriate Americans. The first instance that I remember occurred around 2014. Of course, their military isn’t even close to ours in terms of capability, equipment, training, etc. That’s why they have to play games that only they think are scary. However, it should be no surprise to members of Congress that putin has only become more and more aggressive and hostile toward the U.S. over the last decade or two. The fact that so many republicans have taken and continue to take money from putin’s oligarchs when they get up to date Intel on the threats we face is the height of stupidity and avarice. It is way beyond disgraceful.
show us your tax returns so we can see where money comes from trump
Trump is a typical bully. He is strong against the weak and vice versa. He praises all of our enemies and acts tough on Americans that don’t support him.
But when it comes to Putin, Trump is all knees and elbows.
I truely hope Conservative Voter’s who put Donny in Office will not repeat that horrible mistake again. It just may be the end of AMERICA!
Things are getting tough at home, had to check in with his handler Putin
Trump is a traitor Barr is a criminal and DHS sending in the SS
I guess reeducation camps are next
Not strange at all. Trump already knows that it is true. He just doesn’t want the American people to believe it happened.
Trump and Putin have a ‘back channel’ of communication, to circumvent US Intel.
Trump to Putin: I would put a bounty on McFaul and send him to Moscow for interrogation.
Not “really strange” at all. Not even average strange. trump’s known all along putin has those bounties out there. When putin tells trump what’s going to happen or gives him his orders, trump mumbles yes sir.
