The Asset looks like a cadaver. Lavrov looks like a slick car salesman ripping off an unsuspecting buyer. Kislyak looks like the consummate Soviet commissar after another in an endless stream of good/great meals and bottles of French wine.
Right there. out in the open, immortalized in reporting, images, and videos, an American president is seen betraying his country and burning his country's intelligence sources.
The country needs to be reminded of this as more solid evidence keeps coming to light.
The figure in the middle betrayed his country then, has betrayed his country since, and would do it again if we are sufficiently stupid as to give him that chance.

(4,370 posts)Taken in the same suite that President Obama had previously occupied. And yet were not released. Could there possibly be a connection here?
Is it because the traitor had totally submitted to Putin? From the look on his face in the Helsinki photos, Vladdy-Daddy was in charge. And likely remains in control of the traitor.

Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador
By Greg Miller and Greg Jaffe
May 15, 2017
President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting last week, according to current and former U.S. officials, who said Trumps disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State.
The information the president relayed had been provided by a U.S. partner through an intelligence-sharing arrangement considered so sensitive that details have been withheld from allies and tightly restricted even within the U.S. government, officials said.
The partner had not given the United States permission to share the material with Russia, and officials said Trumps decision to do so endangers cooperation from an ally that has access to the inner workings of the Islamic State. After Trumps meeting, senior White House officials took steps to contain the damage, placing calls to the CIA and the National Security Agency.
This is code-word information, said a U.S. official familiar with the matter, using terminology that refers to one of the highest classification levels used by American spy agencies. Trump revealed more information to the Russian ambassador than we have shared with our own allies. ...
A Russian photographer took photos of part of the session that were released by the Russian state-owned Tass news agency. No U.S. news organization was allowed to attend any part of the meeting.

(39,871 posts)The orange anus had a thing about flags to make him look presidential, and had a boatload installed (Presidents always wear gimme caps in the oval office).

Biden had the flags removed and went with the conventional US Flag and the Presidential seal flag, like most every other president in the past.

(5,007 posts)said there was no Russian collusion? Oh wait, never mind, now I remember. I had a momentary lapse of good 'ol American common sense.
The evidence is out there. If you don't believe it or choose to ignore it, you're just as guilty of aiding and abetting an enemy of America.

(2,638 posts)Remember during Barack Obama's first candidacy when the right-wing media exploded over the "scandal" of Obama NOT WEARING A US FLAG PIN, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!!!!
Having that POS traitor wearing a US flag pin while yucking it up in the Oval Office with enemies of the United States who were playing him for the stooge he is . . . that is far more egregious than not wearing a pin.
I wish I could reach in that photo, snatch that flag pin off and put on a new pin that reads "I'm With Stupid," with a finger pointing up at his waxy, cadaverous face.
