blamed scheduling conflicts on both sides

If Putin thought it necessary it would happen whatever the schedules.

eta: @sanni is correct, this should read “will happen”

I seriously doubt this = no meeting. Just one outside of a ‘formal schedule’ - and outside of established protocols.

This must be a six women sort of meeting.

OT a bit, but I was day dreaming and I thought, wouldn’t it be loverly if Mueller dropped an indictment or two during Tramp’s meeting with his boss?

You’ve got to have a dream, right?

Right. No formal meeting. They just might bump into each other.

You, know so they can chat quietly alone together.

Oh My Effing God! He flew to Asia to meet with his handler.

I hope the CIA has bugs ready.

Donald really wants to, but now that he’s president he can’t be seen kissing Putin’s ass.

In other words, Trump will debriefed by his Russian handlers but there will be no press availability/photo op.

Trump will be reminded by his Russian handlers that they have the documents establishing the quid pro quo of Clinton/DNC emails for relief from US sanctions and they will demand a timeline for their payoff.

Russian Oligarch Oleg Deripaska is at APEC and was followed by reporters. He responded something about stuff being ‘fake news’ (sticking to the company line). What is he doing at APEC? Is he there to represent Putin in discussions with Team Trump. Is he there to demand his money from Manafort and hold Trump accountable for that amount now that Manafort has been indicted? Both? I just don’t know what a guy like Deripaska is doing at an APEC summit. It can’t be for anything good.

If I read this as Putin has no interest I wonder if I’m right?

That’s kinda my thought. Putin has no reason to let trump have the photo op of a meeting with him.
