Putin rejects Donald Trump's criticism of Biden family business
By Andrew Osborn
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday that he saw nothing criminal in Hunter Bidens past business ties with Ukraine or Russia, marking out his disagreement with one of Donald Trumps 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.
Putin, who has praised Trump in the past for saying he wanted better ties with Moscow, has said Russia will work with any U.S. leader, while noting what he called Joe Bidens sharp anti-Russian rhetoric.

(4,673 posts)in saying anything different. He already has 45 by the you-know-whats, and in case things fall apart for him he is looking to do some damage control with Biden.
I have wondered if he would really do anything drastic like cut power grid because if it didn't result favorably, it would hell on earth for him.

(47,370 posts)Putin knows that Trump is losing. Looks like he's bailing on him. He was just using him anyway and Trump's shelf life has expired.
Donald Trump is soon to be the most alone man on the planet.

(317 posts)....Donnie has a big, unhinged, mouth which spews all sorts of shit when someone doesn't love him....so that makes him dangerous to Putin & every other scumbag dictator Don has embraced! These animals, like all mobsters, work in the dark. Maybe they won't want Don & his mouth around any more, if you catch my drift! Also, his inability to repay the money he owes them, also smacks of swimming with the fishes😎

(10,828 posts)even Putin sees what direction the winds are blowing, know he'll have to deal with a Biden Administration. As Joe Biden said: 'they know who I am and I know who they are.'
When you lose your last, best foreign ally, you're swirling the drain. Any wonder that Trump switched his accusations to a China connection? Even he knew the Ukraine/Russian connection was hitting a brick wall.
Interesting, too, that Lutsenko, former Unkrainian prosecutor, once again reiterated in a tweet that there was no evidence of wrong-doing by Joe Biden or his son Hunter in their dealings with the country.
Another big Trump strike out!
The truth will come out, one way or the other.

Putin is writing PINO off.
