If Trump spilled top secrets to "red headed weirdo" Australian...

…what did he spill when talking one-on-one in secret with professional spy recruiter Putin (seen facing a winking Trump in photo below)?



Didn’t Trump act like he never heard of the US nuclear triad?

Trump hid his calls with Putin. Now, Biden has access to them.

What was said between the two leaders is a great mystery, one that advisers to the current president say is imperative to find out.

Few Trump-era mysteries are as intriguing as what the 45th president said to Vladimir Putin in at least a dozen rambling, off-the-cuff calls and meetings over four years. Understanding what was said between the two could help illuminate whether Trump ever revealed sensitive information or struck any deals with the Kremlin leader that could take the new administration by surprise.

Now that President Joe Biden is in the White House, he can see for himself.

“They don’t need our approval to see those [records],” a former Trump White House official said, referring to the new Biden national security team. “Biden owns all the call materials. There is only one president at a time.”

SNIP…

“It is a national security priority to find out what Trump said to Putin” over his four years in office, said one former national security official who is close to the new president. “Some things, like what happened in some face-to-face meetings where no American translator or note-taker was present, may never be fully known. But I would be very surprised if the new national security team were not trying to access” the call records.

SNIP…

Trump went to particularly great lengths to keep his in-person conversations with the Russian leader private, from confiscating his interpreter’s notes to forgoing American translators and notetakers altogether in their meetings. That desire for secrecy has extended even past his time in office. One former Trump official argued last week that records of Trump’s conversations with Putin, which often lasted an hour or more, should not be made available to his successor.

Trump represents the most successful spy operation of all time, Putin’s insertion of an agent into the Oval Office.



Diabolical, actually. The photo of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and dip above was taken by TASS, the official Russian news agency. The US media were not informed about the visit. We learned about it because the Unhinged Moron himself spread the pic proudly on social media.

5. The White House reported it hasn't reviewed the calls because it would look political.

Perhaps it wouldn't affect the "minds" of MAGA, but the independents would appreciate the information about Czar Donald.

If this is a democracy, We the People must know what our elected representatives say in our name and do on our behalf.

Otherwise, as George Carlin once observed, it is a big club and We the People ain't in it.
