A third government official briefed on the meeting defended the president, saying Mr. Trump was using a negotiating tactic when he told Mr. Lavrov about the “pressure” he was under. The idea, the official suggested, was to create a sense of obligation with Russian officials and to coax concessions out of Mr. Lavrov — on Syria, Ukraine and other issues — by saying that Russian meddling in last year’s election had created enormous political problems for Mr. Trump.

It reminds me of when Lucky Luciano and Dutch Schultz were trying to muscle Bumpy Johnson out of the Harlem numbers racket.

5. Right... because "now that's (pressure) taken off. I am not under investigation."

Is EXACTLY the verbiage one would use to tryand leverage the "enormous pressure" resulting from another's actions......
NO.,,..,,


But it is EXACTLY the verbiage a skeeered little A$$et would use to try and prove to his handlers that he was still worthy of being an A$$et...
