Why would Trump have an unscheduled chat with Putin 9 Days before the 2020 election?

“If Holder’s memory is accurate, Trump was on the phone with Putin just minutes after the news broke that the Russian president had dismissed Trump’s Hunter Biden allegations” https://politico.com/newsletters/playbook/2022/06/24/new-jan-6-witness-trump-had-mystery-call-with-putin-00042210

THE PLAYBOOK INTERVIEW: ALEX HOLDER —

“My memory is,” Holder told us, “that the chief of staff sort of came over and said that the interview couldn't happen today because the president was on the phone. And I believe, if I remember correctly, that he said that he was on the phone to the president of Russia, VLADIMIR PUTIN, which is why the interview had to be postponed.”

..............

At the debate in Nashville days earlier, Trump had accused JOE BIDEN of receiving millions of dollars through some kind of corrupt scheme involving HUNTER BIDEN’s alleged business dealings in Ukraine and Moscow — accusations that were the cornerstone of Trump’s case against Biden in the final days of the 2020 campaign.

But that Sunday, Putin undercut Trump and said that as far as he knew, the allegations were nonsense. Sputnik, a Russian state-controlled media outlet, tweeted the news at 8:40 a.m. But it wasn’t until later in the day, when Trump was wrapping up a rally in New Hampshire, that the news broke through in the American press. Reuters reported at 2:20 p.m., “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.” (Newsmax ran the same Reuters wire copy at 2:17 p.m.)

Huh. That seems like interesting context on a day when Holder says he was informed that Trump and Putin were on a call together. We asked Holder when his conversation with Meadows happened. “I *think* it was between NH and Maine,” he texted us.

1. As Neal Katyal said yesterday,

Trump shouldn't be allowed in the United States.

They discovered the Trump tower server connected to Putin's Alfa bank but that got covered up by Durham.

I imagine Trump got orders from Putin on a regular basis. I laughed at first about the pee tapes, not any more.

2. hhmmmMMMmmm

was wondering when poutler's name was gonna come up.

3. Didn't Chump get sick with Covid after the debate?

I was thinking he went to the hospital only a couple of days after the debate. The speculation was that he had Covid before the debate, knew he had it, and went there anyway so he could infect Joe Biden.

[Boomerproud]

5. He and his entourage showed up late for the debate so they

couldn't get tested. That has been documented and confirmed. TFG said he must have gotten covid from meeting with military families who "wanted to hug and kiss me." What president talks like that?

14. None of them wore masks, either,

even though masks were required.

[Ilsa]

6. Whenever I think about that,

I keep wishing that he would die if God really loves democracy.

[SergeStorms]

7. If there's a god at all.

15. We missed our chance to get rid of him

when he had covid. He initially refused to go to a hospital for treatment. His will should have been respected instead of talking him into going.

[Ilsa]

17. I'm surprised Malignia let him go. She's got to be

watching the calendar for when she can be free again.

4. A New Report Adds Evidence That Trump Was a Russian Asset

He helped Putin manipulate the U.S. election in 2020, as he did in 2016.

9. A Russian asset, or.....

a useful idiot used to further Russia's goal of destroying the U.S. from within. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

The Big Orange Pig is a traitor.

[Botany]

10. Russia was working to help Trump non stop in 2020.

And in 2016 the computer server of Alfa Bank (Putin) in Russia was in daily contact with
the Trump Campaign's server in the little town of Lititiz, PA

Was There a Connection Between a Russian Bank and the Trump Campaign?

13. Believe TFG and Pooty-pie are still chummy. And TFG's slimy orange fingers are all over the Saudi's

LIV golf tournaments (two are scheduled for drumpf courses) -- to punish the PGA for moving tournaments from fat boy's properties.

16. Putin was supplying Trump with talking points and strategies.

Putin knew exactly what he was doing, he was trying to damage the USA as much as possible.
