Top Intel Dem: Why would Russia retaliate when it can get what it wants from Trump http://hill.cm/pIZhZ0o

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Friday that Russia's decision not to retaliate against the U.S. over new sanctions are a "shrewd" way to attempt to curry favor with President-elect Donald Trump.

"The Russians hope to get everything they want from Donald Trump merely by flattering the man. So far, it's been successful," Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said on MSNBC.

"He's talked about weakening NATO, potentially doing away with the Ukraine sanctions, which is what the Russians care about the most. So if they can get what they want just by saying nice things about the man, why risk upsetting the apple cart over a few expulsions?" Schiff said.

4. It is my belief that Russia flipped Trump two years ago and has been cultivating him ever since.

5. Giving tRump lessons with the

Russian handbook, I believe it. tRump showed his allegiance when he said Putin was a tougher president than President Obama. That was horrible.

6. I'm now wearing my Carhartt winter cap

with a russian service medal pinned on front. I'm slowing converting my nationality from American to russian. Will be flying the russian flag outside my house after the 20th. This is my way of showing this 99.9% con community who is really in charge, who they voted for.

14. They have drumph by the balls with videos etc

I'm sure that's part of his praise for Putin.

That and their promise to give him access to screw Russians (while they screw him).

15. Delusional Trump believes he'll outsmart Putin on other issues.

His State of the Union address next year will be some piece of work.
