    1. Ann van de Kew Ukrainian law enforcement officials said earlier this month they have a slew of evidence of collusion and wrongdoing by Democrats, and that they have been trying to share this information with U.S. officials in the Justice Department.

    2. Johan Learn English, sergei. It’s “get useD to it”, like you have to get *used* to being recognised as a troll bot pimping for trump.

  1. I’m not RUSSIAN to conclusions, but I think Trump is a puppet.
    Just PUTIN it out there. You don’t like it; CRIMEA river.

    1. To 15Kdow2022 its not about aFew who might be thriving, i Know as More than afew that trump inherited a very nice, firm and slate Very clean when the very Honourable, trustworthy, Pulitzer winning, vocabulary knowledgeable etc. etc President Obama left office. Honey it is to the fact that this Thing that sits in Our, the American peoples’ highest of places in our government and has sucked up to putin and kim and dissed Our forthright intelligence officers like the dummy he is, made elementary style fun of the disabled, been brought to our attention about his numerous sexual assaults and affairs, his Blatant disregard for families and Their human rights according to Our Constitution, the rediculous, childlike namecalling of anyone who opposed him, lack of knowledge in appointing qualified people in every Very Important Official capacity…Oh fon’t get me started! Oh, oh lets not forget Allll of the inner circle that have been indicted, sent to prison all the way to Giuliani now, his doing the same fraudulent behavior family members, person after person inHis administration testifying about His unlawful misdeeds, fighting to keep people from testifying ( because he’s so innocent) and still the list goes on and on and…. and u want to talk about ur great job and… Give me a break! And it is to the astonishment of people with F____ comman sense that people like You could show ur face when we All know that day is coming for him and his charity grifters will be held accountable for Their misdeeds not only under the law but against humanity and i’m so sick to my stomach from people who think this thing is able to represent My Great America that i could… cough up a Hair Ball!!!

    1. Ann van de Kew Ukrainian law enforcement officials said earlier this month they have a slew of evidence of collusion and wrongdoing by Democrats, and that they have been trying to share this information with U.S. officials in the Justice Department.

    2. @15k DOW 2022 Yeah, the same officials whose own corruption cost them their jobs. They have no credibility, but you don’t seem to care about that because the “dirt” they have fits your narrative.

  2. The republicans and the wealthy who back them are playing their hand after forty years of backroom dealing. No longer is collusion behind closed doors, and since its now ok to assassinate official representatives of a country’s government, the long knives are about to come out for our own leadership. Democracy is not the intended outcome.

    1. @15k DOW 2022 Exactly my point, you poor child, your side of the aisle has none! Would you like me to call children’s aid for you?

    2. @15k DOW 2022 Not in the Kremlin Comrade. Do you get paid extra for spouting the same debunked bs on every question and on every post? You think people can’t recognize troll farm behavior? I hope Trump and Putin pay you enough to sleep at night Comrade! Back to your Borscht!

  3. In 2015, Western European intelligence agencies began picking up evidence of communications between the Russian government and people in Donald Trump’s orbit. In April 2016, one of the Baltic states shared with then–CIA director John Brennan an audio recording of Russians discussing funneling money to the Trump campaign. In the summer of 2016, Robert Hannigan, head of the U.K. intelligence agency GCHQ, flew to Washington to brief Brennan on intercepted communications between the Trump campaign and Russia..

    The contents of these communications have not been disclosed, but what Brennan learned obviously unsettled him profoundly. In congressional testimony on Russian election interference last year, Brennan hinted that some Americans might have betrayed their country. “Individuals who go along a treasonous path,” he warned, “do not even realize they’re along that path until it gets to be a bit too late.” In an interview this year, he put it more bluntly: “I think [Trump] is afraid of the president of Russia. The Russians may have something on him personally that they could always roll out and make his life more difficult.”

    In July 2016, a loose-knit community of computer scientists and cybersecurity experts discovered a strange pattern of online traffic between two computer servers. One of those servers belonged to Alfa Bank in Moscow and the other to the Trump Organization. Alfa Bank’s owners had “assumed an unforeseen level of prominence and influence in the economic and political affairs of their nation,” as a federal court once put it.

    The analysts noted that the traffic between the two servers occurred during office hours in New York and Moscow and spiked in correspondence with major campaign events, suggesting it entailed human communication rather than bots. More suspiciously, after New York Times reporter Eric Lichtblau asked Alfa Bank about it but before he brought it up with the Trump campaign, the server in Trump Tower shut down. The timing strongly implied Alfa Bank was communicating with Trump..

    1. With the knowledge of what he’s ALREADY DONE what in God’s name could be much worse for the orange turd to be afraid of it’s coming out?

  4. President Zelensky resisted Trump’s efforts to draw Ukraine into the Trumpublican machinations, but Putin was more than happy to jump right in and do at least one of the requested investigations. All their loyal little comrades in the White House must be so happy.

    1. Down here, on planet Earth, Biden’s Mafia Buddies got more charges added to the list.

    1. Eliza Ugetupa Ukrainian law enforcement officials said earlier this month they have a slew of evidence of collusion and wrongdoing by Democrats, and that they have been trying to share this information with U.S. officials in the Justice Department.

  5. obviously trump and friends got back channels and speak to putin to take orders and get advice from putin regularly

    1. GreensOplenty You don’t honestly believe this garbage do you? The media is trying to cover the Bidens. This is so transparent a 3rd grader can see it.

    2. Actually, you do have a point there. That’s why Trump is always rushing off to the golf courses, to pretend he was golfing. Does he look to you like anyone who does any kind of physical exertion? Notice how he makes the Secret Service pay for golf carts. That’s one gimmick to reduce the number of prying eyes on him and to shake off scrutiny.

  6. Trump’s attacks on his own intelligence agencies have helped Putin. It’s now up to the media to protect Americans against Russian interference and attacks.

    1. @J M M I was just about to rip into him till I saw your post, there get more and more deluded daily soon they won’t be able to recognize fact from fiction

  7. When will America see trump is a compulsive pathological liar and you need medical expertise to see that, his story changes every time he try’s to explain himself. He’s the biggest threat to world peace since Hitler

    1. Steve Dee British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in an interview Tuesday that he welcomed replacing the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal with a new agreement negotiated by President Trump.

    2. @15k DOW 2022 Boris is another putin puppet, so yes, he would love to have his brother puppet do a new “agreement”. These times are horrific – and I’m sorry you are a pathetic troll.

    1. @Robert Symon a pee pee tape is pretty good though a poo poo would be better . Ah America the land of the free what has happened to you .

  8. Trump is spreading himself too thin, Saudi’s want regime change in Iran and Putin wants GOP’S jingleing in his pocket. The perfect storm is brewing.

  9. #TraitorTump

    Never thought I’d see a POTUS turn on his own country!
    🛑 RED ALERT, WH DOWN!⏰💣

    🔥🇺🇸🔥

    1. Eddie Rieux British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in an interview Tuesday that he welcomed replacing the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal with a new agreement negotiated by President Trump.

    2. 15k DOW 2022 🐂💩 dim-witted fan of law-breaking, oath-breaking, cheating, LYING and treason, a pinhead pimping for the crook trump

    3. Eddie Rieux Doesn’t this story seem a little convenient? Suddenly the Russians have hacked the server of the company Hunter Biden made millions from? And Hunter is about to be called as a witness. You’re seriously not this gullible are you?

    4. @Rod Allen I’m more interested in the witnesses that TRUMP refuses to ALLOW to testify. WHY would Trump NOT want his witnesses to prove his innocence? If Biden is testifying I would TRUST him just because HE SHOWED UP.
