MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday that he saw nothing criminal in Hunter Biden’s past business ties with Ukraine or Russia, marking out his disagreement with one of Donald Trump’s attack lines in the U.S. presidential election.

Putin was responding to comments made by Trump during televised debates with Democratic challenger Joe Biden ahead of the Nov. 3 election.

Trump, who is trailing in opinion polls, has used the debates to make accusations that Biden and his son Hunter engaged in unethical practices in Ukraine. No evidence has been verified to support the allegations, and Joe Biden has called them false and discredited.

1. This doesn't help

Putin is giving Trump cover.

See Trump isn't in Putin's pocket.

2. Baloney, it is a complete undermining of Trump's last gasp.

4. Seriously how would Putin even know

If I am a mind washed Trump supporter, I don't care what Putin has to say, but I do care that the public perceives Trump is beholden to Putin.

Now if Trump does care (which he might/probably) does think, then it might be psychologically damaging to him. Of course he could be in on the PR stunt.

9. How would Putin know? Are you kidding? Putin had his caretaker PM in charge

of Ukraine at the time.

We now have the FBI and Putin on the same side with the Wall Street Journal reporters and every recognized news source saying that there is nothing to the fabricated charges and on the other side
is Trump, Guilliani and a Ukrainian pro Russian pol that has changed his story a dozen times.

This is Trump's worst nightmare

12. That's my take, too.

3. Shut up Vlad

Stay out of our house

5. Putin is getting the bus out of the garage

so he can throw trump under it. Putin is thinking that trump had ONE job: remove sanctions for him but after four years, couldn't deliver. So beep beep...

6. Putin's thinking: "... oh shit, my bottom bitch and number one whore Trump is going to lose ..."

... "I, better jump ship now"

8. He's telling him...

"Try a different tactic dumbass".

10. He's saying PA (and MI and WI) are gone and you are trailing in FL GA IA and TX

Time to start preparing for the new ownership

14. Trump's done what he wanted, now its time to go as he does now not want a rival for thieving.

He knows a 2nd term Trump will go rogue and most likely be uncontrollable.

11. Putin knows his dealing with a Biden starts now as trump is

gone. So it's prudent to Putin.

13. Vlad starting to realize the psyops aren't working this time around...nt

[Thekaspervote]

15. Putin has been making other noises as well. Said he thought Biden would be willing to deal on

The nuclear arms treaty

In another statement he said maybe it was time Russia and America stopped meddling in each other’s elections.

Both are pretty strong statements..neither supportive of dotard

16. I missed the second part

Putin doesn't want permanent chaos but to create enough leverage to negotiate a deal. Russia needs Europe more than they need Russia.

[Tarc]

17. This is the sound of Putin cutting bait and moving on

The Donald was a useful idiot up to a point.
