The topic has come up, that there are protocols for p**********l discussions with foreign entities, especially adversaries. When Trump was criticized early on for insisting on secrecy, the only defense in his favor was that Obama talked to Putin alone for a few minutes so it was okay.

There are dozens of good reasons why every minute of discussions between the president and adversarial leaders need to be 100% monitored and t***scribed, which they are supposed to be. This prevents a foreign leader from claiming our president said something he did not, promises, commitments, threats, bribes, wh**ever, he needs witnesses.

Trump has had multiple conversations with Putin that he didn't even disclose, we have no idea what was said. Then we have found out about them through Russian press, which is Putin's propaganda machine, Putin says what he wants to say. Trump says conversations were meaningless when we find out about one, then the Russian press makes claims about conversations and involvements that are definitely more than nothing. We can assume that conversations with dictators are conversations with liars who could easily be believed to lie about what the president says. But then we have a president that quite frankly can't be believed for a second when he tries to relay his side of a conversation, which leaves us with a dire need for 100% monitored conversations.

Now we have a whistle blower complaint that is marked urgent, must be dealt with as soon as possible. National security is not a time for obstructing serious complaints that involve national security, disturbing promises made. It is ridiculous to think someone is going to jeopardize their career over something silly, and impossible to believe that the Intelligence Inspector General is going to validate something as urgent that is not. Laws are there for a reason, and those involving national security and the intelligence community are more serious than most.

We have more in common with the Russian people than any other nation. The only difference is as they have moved away from C*******m the left in America move towards it. Trump, his whole life has shown his love for this country. But these L*****t that try to destroy our Constitution,our rights, our economy,and way of life. They have spent every waking moment trying to destroy this president accomplishing nothing. We are now to believe this Russia collusion again. Was he caught on an open mic planning our disarmament? Has he sold our uranium to Russia or sent our enemy billions in cash? What I see is crazed l*****t that wouldn't know treason if it walked up, introduced it's self, then slapped the s**t out of you.

Has this president kept his promises? Yes. Has he kept those promises with the left fighting him every step of the way, even thought it was against all American values and common sense? Yes. The same common sense that tells we need closer relation to Russia to deal with Iran, North Korea, the Middle East, Africa, China and other hot spots in the world.

To think Trump has done anything with Putin that hasn't been on the up and up and in the records, give me a break. After a two year investigation by rabid Trump h**ers that found no crimes. He has bettered your life more than obama ever did. To believe some how Trump is conspiring with Putin for our down fall the men in their clean white suits should call you out.

Can't you see what it is? The Dems are making all this noise in order to distract the growing attention/inquiries into Joe Biden and son's Ukraine and China corruption! The Demorats are desperate, so this is what they always do when any attention comes to their corruption. They attack Trump with f**e accusations. Then the spotlight is on that and away from Biden....one of their own. Now that the Russian h**x has been debunked by your own party (Mueller and his merry team of Democrats), this is what you're going to focus on? An anonymous somebody has filed a complaint that Trump said something to a world leader that they didn't like. This "somebody" is obviously trying to deflect away from Joe "I am not nuts" Biden's BIG problem with his son.

I'm going to guess that those "lefties" in NY with the OTB are not President of the United States - and that may explain why that story is not often repeated. I was working in Atlantic City on an FAA project during '97, and I remember the time well. Trump took out a number of loans trying to save Taj Mahal during that time. There are numerous stories going around that Trump never re-paid those loans -which eventually led to none of the US banks wanting to do business with him....and now he's the (f**e) president.....go figure.

Said Obama to Medvedev, not knowing his mic was hot: "Tell Vladimir that I'll have more flexibility after the e******n."

How is it that you folks over there on the left seem to have no trouble rationalizing that little exchange, yet find six ways from Sunday to accuse Trump of all manner of Russian collusion without any evidence even remotely approaching that Obama-Medvedev "I'll let Vladimir know" tete a tete?

If I didn't know better (ahem!), I'd think there was either some sort of hypocrisy or political partisanship afoot. 😁
