Kremlin papers appear to show Putin's plot to put Trump in White House

Vladimir Putin personally authorised a secret spy agency operation to support a “mentally unstable” Donald Trump in the 2016 US presidential election during a closed session of Russia’s national security council, according to what are assessed to be leaked Kremlin documents.

The key meeting took place on 22 January 2016, the papers suggest, with the Russian president, his spy chiefs and senior ministers all present.

They agreed a Trump White House would help secure Moscow’s strategic objectives, among them “social turmoil” in the US and a weakening of the American president’s negotiating position.

Russia’s three spy agencies were ordered to find practical ways to support Trump, in a decree appearing to bear Putin’s signature.

We didn't need leaked Kremlin papers to understand this.

But hey, if your report gets dispersed to the dunderheads and the rest of the ass clown's cult, then thanks, I guess.

I just don't think it's going to matter one iota to these traitorous bastards running their disinformation campaigns over at Faux booze et al.

they reverse engineered everything that came to be, added it to their meeting notes, made it look like it was all plotted by Putin then released it.
Not to say that they didn't do things I just don't think it was that well plotted. Time will tell ....or not. I mean why not leak the index? lol

what we already know. Really fascinating to follow the decision making process of the Kremlin, and of the hands on control still maintained by ex KGB chief Putin. TFG has been, and is, a traitor that has to be held accountable, even if only by history.
