Kremlin ‘Hopes’ That Trump Admin Won’t Publish Calls With Russia

A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed “hope” Friday that the U.S. would not publish calls between Putin and President Donald Trump like it did with the call memo of Trump’s conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Is that a threat, Vlad? A troll? So many possibilities…

“It would be a shame if those calls were published…”. Message received.

Yeah…it can be taken a lot of different ways. But it certainly is interesting.

Wow. I’d call that throwing fat on the fire. Hard to know what game Putin is playing. Is this a threat? Is it another way to stir up trouble? Is Putin genuinely concerned?
So much for ‘no collusion!’

I think Putin just decided to throw Trump under the bus. This is the bear hug of death… Inviting us to go look at those transcripts. Must be something there. Did Trump not pay his protection money this week?

And this Vlad, is what happens when you decide to destabilize a foreign country by picking a bumbling incompetent who has failed at every venture he has ever tried. I mean the guy lost money on a GAMBLING establishment, where the house always wins. You could have picked someone with half a brain, but NO you bet on Donald Trump. You ignored rule 1, everything Donald touches dies. I think your phone calls will get subpoenaed and you won’t be happy.

I believe Vlad is currently setting up a time to go for tea with the whistle blower

Nothin’ to worry about with Trump, Ivan. It’s the “Nazi like” CIA that you & Trump have your problems with.

Enjoy !

“CIA, if you’re listening (and I know you are), I hope you’re able to find the Trump-Putin meeting & phone call transcripts that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

Well, sadly, Trump has managed - and will continue to manage - to do a shitload of damage. Including two SC justices.

No matter what you think the Kremlin is trying to accomplish here, this message serves the goal. A+ trolling.

That AP article is quite interesting. Russians acted like ttump is one of their own and defended him fiercely. I can’t tell the difference between what they said and what rethugs said.

“We are waiting for the party to continue,” said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. “Let them publish transcripts of conversations between NATO allies. It would also be useful to publish minutes of closed meetings at the CIA, the FBI and the Pentagon. Put it all on air!”

“Is it the Democrats’ job to make a laughing stock of the United States?” she said. “It’s exactly what Ms. Pelosi has done to Congress, the White House and other state institutions.”
