Russian President Vladimir Putin has said Moscow could provide a record of the exchange between Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US President Donald Trump, who is accused of sharing classified intelligence.

The pair met at the White House on 10 May.

"If the US administration finds it possible, we are ready to provide a recording of the conversation between Lavrov and Trump to the US Congress and Senate," Mr Putin said during a press conference.

A Kremlin aide said Mr Putin is prepared to provide a transcript, not audio recording, of the meeting.

So Trump did not divulge secret information to Lavrov, and he has the tapes to prove it?

1. LOL

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. It's all so absurd.

[JHan]

4. LOL... I can't stop laughing

been laughing all morning since I read it

[Chemisse]

2. Putin must be having the time of his life.

The US should not stoop to taking recordings of the Oval Office conversation from one of our enemies.

[FailureToCommunicate]

3. So Putin is willing to be more forthcoming than our White House or Republicans in

Congress?

Great.

[athena]

22. Only if you trust Putin to tell the truth.

If you know anything about Putin and his government, you know that he will not provide the actual transcript but what he wants us to think is the transcript.

[FailureToCommunicate]

33. Oh yes of course. But at least Putin**sounds**helpful, unlike Turtle Man and the party of

"Nothing To See Here"

5. Putin: "that info Israel wanted kept secret? We're happy to tell everyone what it is

including ISIS, al Qaeda, Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, Al-Shabaab, whoever ...".

7. They bugged the WH...

what happened to electronic screening.

[Flaleftist]

23. When Trump says "They're okay. Let them in"

Who is going to stop it?

[Botany]

8. How did the Russians ( Lavrov Kislyak) get a recording device into the oval office?

BTW if Obama or Bill Clinton had outed a top secret Israeli agent working behind
ISIS' lines how quick would the republicans have been calling for their heads?

9. Dunno. Got a cell phone?

10. This is way above my pay grade but shouldn't the have been screened before they .....

..... got into the oval office.

[Xipe Totec]

13. Well, they got in with a camera. So.... nt

[Botany]

15. Good point.

Putin and company are playing w/Trump like a toy.

[Bradical79]

19. Remember the photographer?

They let that one Russian photographer in, which was heavily criticized because of the things you can put into a camera.

Or maybe someone just used a cellphone :-P

[cannabis_flower]

20. Gee, even

schools make students leave their cell phones at the door when taking tests.

[Turbineguy]

11. Satire, right?

[Xipe Totec]

12. Nope. There's argument back-and-forth as to what Putin meant by recording

But he definitely made a statement defending Trump and offered a transcript of the 'recording'. Whatever 'recording' means.

[PatSeg]

21. Sounds more like a threat to Trump

Putin seems to be playing him big time. He's using Trump's tactics, except he is much, much better at it.

[bucolic_frolic]

14. "Vlad, about that loyalty conversation I didn't have with Comey ...."

"Got a copy?"

"No, but we can make one up right away. Anything to help comrade in problem."

[beastie boy]

16. Looks like someone is throwing one big orange shitbag under the bus!

Basically, what Putin says is:

-Yes, we bugged your office
-Yes, we have dirt on you
-Yes, we will release it for the asking.
-No, you don't matter. It's been nice messing with you!

[ButSeeYa]

17. Surely, I have eclipsed into an alternate universe.

This is unbelievable.

[WhiteTara]

24. Isn't that the truth!

Welcome to DU

[Leghorn21]

25. Oh, beautifully expressed, But! - - "I have eclipsed..." - marvelous! eom

[secondwind]

18. LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!

[obamanut2012]

26. This is a Fuck You to the United States, and a threat to Trump

Letting him know they are listening and recoridng, and have been, way before he was in the WH.

[flamingdem]

27. So they have the recordings because..

they bugged the OVAL OFFICE!

They probably have tapes of that blow up the other day when reporters said a TV was blasted to cover up the cursing and yelling.

They are having FUN over there in Moscow
